Stupid is as Stupid Does

This past weekend, the North Dakota State University won an impressive fifth FCS NCAA Football championship in a row. No other team has been able to make this claim. This is a historic event. As a sports fan, you have to give credit where credit is due. This will be a hard accomplishment to ever beat. Shall we say, the bar has been set very high by the NDSU Bison. I would be surprised if this record is ever beaten in our lifetime.

As the final seconds are ticking off of the game clock, NDSU fans took time out to chant “Sioux suck.” No seriously. Your team just won another FCS title and some clown starts a Sioux sucks chant. It would be safe to say that this person wasn't an honor student at NDSU. Nor would they make the cut at UND.

This wasn’t the only time that our buddies to the south did something silly this past weekend. Froggy 99.9 took it upon themselves to take a shot at UND. Seriously, if you're going to take a shot or get in a good dig at UND, at least, be original. If I had to make a guess, this employee in question must have been a fan of a school we no longer play in hockey that's approximately 300 miles south of us.  Is it all in good fun right?

Per the Grand Forks Herald: Froggy 99.9, a Fargo-Moorhead country radio station owned by Midwest Communications, had staff in Frisco covering the festivities and handing out awards to tailgaters.

One award-winner for best sign had UND's interlocking "ND" crossed out and said "Fighting Whioux" and then "suck," Kuntz said.

Froggy 99.9 posted a picture of the award-winners holding a certificate with the anti-UND flag and quickly got some negative feedback.
But I digress. Congrats to the Bison for beating Jacksonville State. You earned. I hope next season your team falls flat on their face next season and fails miserably. That being said, your quarterback Carson Wentz was fun to watch. I hope the Vikings make a run at signing him. You can’t help it that some in your fan base act like eight-year-olds.

Finally, when UND wins its next national championship in hockey or whatever sport, I doubt our fans are going to chant “Bison Suck.” They probably won’t even think of your university.
