With UND playing at Montana this weekend, thought I would post this good humored smack from Bisonville.com

A Field Guide to Fans

You can usually spot a Sioux fan from a long distance because no self-respecting Bison fan is going to walk around in a mint green sweatshirt with a white turtleneck underneath it. Goat cheese and Volvos are also telltale signs of their presence. Do not approach them, although slow of wit and nearsighted, their sense of superiority is very acute and they could easily bore you to death. The average Sioux fan is pretty good-natured about the rivalry and when confronted with a Bison fan, is likely to lean back, give a chuckle, and say something like "If you want to work on a farm, go to NDSU. If you want to own the farm, go to UND." Since it's impossible to argue with something like that, a Bison fan might respond with something like, "Hey, that's a nice sweatshirt-turtleneck combo you've got there, Skipp or Tadd or Chipp or whatever you said your name was; do they have a men's department where you bought it?" Of course this works better if the Sioux fan is a male who hasn't seen "Footloose", but you get the idea.

This seems as good of place as any to ask this question. I hope you dont mind Gil?

I need a clarification on the Badger basketball game with UND:

Is it going to be scored a moral victory?

UND lost 85-53. Last season UND was literally one of the worst teams in the country. Considering they were overwhelming underdogs and played well (at least compared to last year) and everybody is feeling good about the “progress”, can the moral victory, so common with the football team, be called?

I would say they had a moral victory last year when they lost by 6 @ NIU. But got embarrassed the weekend before @ Idaho by 45
