Sioux and the
Bison played in football there used to be a lot of vitriol in the stands and at tail gates for football, Ironically, in their finest hour after watching their team win the
FCS championship in football some
dolt of the fans in the crowd just had to say "Sioux Sucks"... Wow!!! Stupid is as stupid does, right?
Kevin Schnepf, Forum Communications ---- Flash forward 22 years in Frisco, Texas — where NDSU won its first national championship since its 1990 trip to Florence. As the Bison team marched toward its locker room before the game, the three-block long line of fans chanted “Here We Go Bison, Here We Go.” In between the cheers, one fan yelled “Sioux suck.”
Really? Your team is about to play for a national title and that’s all you can think of? Never mind that your team hasn’t played the Sioux (I mean North Dakota) since 2003.
Later that same day when fans gathered in front of the Fargodome to welcome home their team, Gov. Jack Dalrymple started the same cheer “Here We Go Bison, Here We Go.” Little did the Governor realize that the chant must mysteriously spark a certain impulse to be insulting.
As if on cue, a small group of supporters started yelling “Sioux suck.”
Really? Your team just won its first Division I championship and that’s all you can think of. Never mind that your football team may not be playing the Sioux (I mean, North Dakota) for at least another decade.
