UNC vs WSU

Welcome to the board! THe UNC vs. WSU game will be a good game - both are struggling big time. You'll be there for our homecoming so it should be a good time. There's plenty of bars around Greeley. Old Chicagos is my favorite because of the Beer selection and they have cool old Bears memeriobilia (sp?) Excellent food too! THere's Pitchers which has a good IPA, poor service though, and you'll see Ursa there too. He's the one usually drinking the beer...errr...water called Coors.
If you want, you can see the homecoming parade that happens the morning before the game. It's small but it's kinda cool. It goes by the old part of campus and there you can see where our guy Brian meet his wife. If I'm wrong Brian correct me. Isn't it by the garden theatre?

I remember you mentioned that on the old board. The garden theatre is probably my favorite part of campus. Lots of good memories.
I actually like the homecoming parade. I usually hate parades, but this one is kinda cool.
BTW, wildcat if you have time go to To Rocky Mountain National Park. It's about an hours drive from Greeley. The aspens should be turning by then. You won't regret that trip.

Definitely hit Roma's. It is a little dive italian joint near the business school. Can't remember the exact cross streets, maybe someone can help me. Killer calzone's and bazooka drinks that will knock your socks off. I'm partial to the margs.
Ursa should be able to fill you in on the good late night beer drinking spots if the rest of the group missed any.

I'll make a pitch for a new one--Island Grill, downtown at 9th Street and 8th Avenue. Those familiar with downtown will know that was the Magnus after it got punted from further up 9th Street.
Kenny's got a sweet place going there, and serves as a good host for the coaches' show.

A cheaper option would be JB's on 8th Ave and 25th Street, been around for 70 years, so they must be doing something right. I personally love the food there.

Hey...as I have stated before, I drink Coors Light to maintain my girlish figure. In actuality, I've switched to Coors diesel as opposed to unleaded. As far as late night establishments, I still like Pitchers. Personally, I think that Old C's is a little overpriced. I still have yet to go to Jacksons and see a crowd. BearsRadio, does Island Grill have a bar/lounge? I need a new home away from home.

Yes, and multiple HD screens, plus the Sunday Ticket.

Head to Denver and buy Rockies NLCS tickets from a scalper?
So like I posted awhile ago, I am coming out for the WSU vs UNC game, what are some things to do on a Friday night in Greeley? What's the best sports bar, and who has the best food/chicken wings? I am looking forward to meeting some Bears fans, and am looking forward to a good game. Who is going to be the starting QB for you guys?
ajwildcat said:
It doesn't matter who the QB is going to be, they're both horrible. I thought we might be able to beat you guys this year, but you're an improving team and we keep getting worse. It won't even be close.
Off topic, but hey Flasser (74) I know you're the only player on this board so pay attention: Tell your teammates they're a disgrace to this program and they have no talent and no heart. Non of these players deserve to put on the Bears uniform. I am putting this on the coaches AND players. Harsh....I know but it's a reality. :twisted: :twisted:

It's Fassler, and F*** off. I'm Fed up with the constant S*** I see people talking on this board. Are you serious? Do you have any idea the kind of work we have put in to getting better? I didn't get up at 5:30 4 days a week to run my a$$ off, and lift 4 days a week after running trying to become a better player to have you people on this board constantly berate us and tell us that the work we do doesn't make us worthy. Who are you to decide what warrants worthiness? I'm the one who's given up "The College Experience" of constantly getting drunk and having fun with random people. I'm the one who has alienated myself from the general student population in favor of working out instead, or getting treatment or watching film.
WE are the ones who truly have to feel every loss. Every single guy on that team came from a winning team, and we all remember what that felt like. That's what we all want to feel again, we all want to win, we all feel that hunger. That is why we have all put in the time throughout the winter to try and get better.
We're the ones who have put our relationships with our loved ones at stake, have spent more time doing football than spending time with them, in favor of being a better team. I personally lost my girlfriend of 2 years because of the stress and constantly spending time elsewhere trying to get better, so don't tell me i don't have any heart. I have two disks in my back bulging out, but i'm out there every day trying to get better, regardless of whether or not i can feel my right leg. Don't tell me I don't have heart. I saw players after that last game bawling their eyes out, and there was not a happy person associated with the program to be found. DO NOT TELL ME WE DON'T CARE. DO NOT TELL ME WE DON'T HAVE HEART. If that's what you think, then get off the F***ing board, because I don't want to hear from you anymore.
Don't talk about anything you know nothing about. That's just ignorant. Go back to drinking your self into a stupor and watch some other sport if all you're gonna do is talk s*** about the men that I have bled with and i have sweat with, and that have become my brothers in the year and a half i have been here then you and I have a problem.
I'm done with this. Support, but don't tear down. That's the problem, you only believe in tearing down, but not supporting. Learn to support, then maybe you can have an opinion. Until then, keep it to yourself.

I'll take heart over talent any day. If these guys show passion like 74 did in his response to your post then this team will be good in a year or two. There are many talented players who never accomplish anything because they are not willing to work and they can't fight through adversity when they are competing against equally talented people. If these losses are as painful to the team as 74 says then I do indeed see a light at the end of the tunnel. I played on a horrible high school football team and it didn't really bother us that much to lose and that is why we kept losing. I was afraid that was what was starting to happen at UNC but I feel a little better now.
74 said:
I never questioned your heart but it's obvious when you lose this many games by that many points there's something very wrong with this program. It's effort, coaching and talent. To me all three are missing. I wouldn't attack any of these people on this board that are pissed off. They have every right to be angry at the team. You and your teammates are only here because you didn't get a scholarship to CU, CSU or Wyo. You'll play your four years, leave and forget about the program just like every other player. However, we're the alumni that give our time and money and we will continue until we die. I've been around this university and program for a very long time, since childhood. Now you're telling me to F- off!
I am not sure I buy the whole we're so young stuff. Yes, it plays a factor but I'll use last years EWU team. They were just as young as we were but they were still a solid team last year and are very good this year. I also don't buy the crap that we don't have that much money. We got destroyed by two teams that have half the budget we have. 74, you should look around at other teams' boards. We're the laughing stock of FCS football and that's what pisses alumni off. That is NOT UNC. You probably don't have clue about the history of this program and you're calling me ignorant! Go back and watch old film from our 96-2003 teams and you'll learn how to play football.
:shock: So while all of that was VERY entertaining, none of it answered any of my questions.
Two thoughts of advice first, #74 stop worrying about what the fans say about you and your team on this board and start worrying about your next opponet.
Second, any fan that doesn't think that small college football players don't care doesn't really know the game themselves. These guys don't get paid infact they can't have a job, they can't party like regular students, and they HAVE to excel in the class room.
College players give up everything for a chance to win on Saturdays us as fans should support and cheer for our teams no matter what.
A program cannot win unless everyoe is drinking the same kool-aide, that includes coaches, players, and boosters.
