It's nice to win non conference games, but why don't we schedule higher caliber games. Do we play these easy non-conference games to get a sure win in order to qualify for playoffs or should we play tougher BCS teams and make our team better? I know we have Minnesota on this years schedule and Colorado State and Kansas State in the future but our other non-conference games are weak.

Don't forget that we had Georgia Southern (currently #2 nationally in FCS) here in Fargo before they bought out. I'm sure that wasn't exactly GT's choice.

We have Montana and Montana St. coming to the Dome in the next two years, as well as Robert Morris opening the Dome next year (last year's NEC champion). Compared to other schools (particularly those in the Big Sky who invariably have at least one non-counter) I'd say we aren't doing half-bad.

For starters, call Georgia Southern's AD and ask him why they pussed out on making the return trip to Fargo this season.

for some reason there arent many non-conference games between top teams in the FCS. would be nice if that changed

Have you ever thought that maybe "we" were the tough non conference game? I mean, maybe Lafayette fans were saying, hey, why don't we play someone tough for a non conference game? So they get NDSU on the schedule.

great non negative way to look at it

plus the way I see it we get 2 very likely W's under our belt. Rather than baptized by fire like we did last year with Kansas. These games count just as much towards playoffs as any other FCS team. I am cool with any team as long as we NEVER play a D2 team.

Good games are scheduled years in advance. You play shitty teams when the good team backs out and you must fill a spot on the fly. I don't understand why so many people are asking this?

Keep in mind Lafayette is traditionally a good team. When the georgia southern game had the return trip agreed upon I would bet that year Lafayette was in the playoffs... Is a playoff team not a good team?

Programs have ups and downs. I have a hunch the year we finally get an App st style program to fargo they will be in a down swing and people will bitch about playing a cupcake. Watch Montana go 1-10 the year we play them in fargo. People will complain.

All good points, in addition to the fact that we don't need a return trip for the likes of Lafayette and St Francis, higher echelon teams require home and homes which would cut into having 6 home games.

NDSU could play anyone they want if they are willing to cancel all non conference home games and play on the road. So do you prefer no non conference home games?

Scheduling Grand Valley during the transition would have been asinine. Nothing to gain, everything as far as progressing to a respected DI football school to lose.


WCU in 2013 should be a good matchup.

Those DII/NAIA games were schedule filler that nobody gave a shit who was lined up opposite the Bison. GVSU would have cost more, had no more crowd drawing power than Arkansas-Monticello, and had a much greater potential (although still very small) chance at an upset that could have set the program back. NDSU curbstomped a top 5 DII Carson-Newman team and I would have preferred a non-scholly DI Drake on the schedule. The transition was a time to focus on the DI road ahead, not to keep looking back in the DII rear view mirror.

Translation 98% of the FCS exists within several hundred miles of these schools. They would play us, but we would have to go there first then they would come here then we would go there again.

SDSU played delaware last year. How did that workout? They are not going to brookings...Ever. If you want to play these teams get your butt on a plane when we meet in the playoffs and the games are for real. That is the best chance of keeping 6 home games and getting them to fargo.

I might elect to play Devil's Advocate and say that perhaps if we want some high quality opponents in the dome we should dominate current OOC type of scheduling. Win a game against mediocre Big Ten and Big 12 teams every year, do well in the conference, and then GASP! Play against good FCS teams in the playoffs.....double GASP! AT HOME!

You're playing Southern Utah, which I would put in the same conversation as Lafayette. Your game against SFA is no better than our original game against Georgia Southern that GSU backed out of(both SFA & GSU are picked to win or runner up their conferences). Iowa State is picked to finish second to last in the Big 12; about the same as Minnesota. Really, I'm not seeing much of a difference between the two schedules.

I'd probably agree with you regarding SUU & Laf, but I was just saying they are in the same ballpark when it comes to scheduling. It's not like SUU is cream of the crop and Laf is a cellar dweller. And I was comparing SFU to GSU, not St F. St F is a cupcake among cupcakes, but we all know it was a last minute addition after GSU bailed.

The Recipe that we should follow for our 3 OOC games is . . .

1 FBS
2 FCS (2 at home if possible; or 1 home-1 away if a quality opponent)
0 Non-DI games

I don't have a problem with our scheduling at all, especially when you consider that Georgia Sourthern backed out.

Now, if we start scheduling Non-DI games, then I'll have a problem. Look at Montana's schedule . . . if they loose this week vs Cal Poly, they'll need to win 8 0f 9 which includes a non-DI game and EWU, Sac St, MSU to make the playoffs. If they loose to Cal Poly, a good possibility, their margin for playoff error is almost zero, and I'd almost count them out. If their DII was a DI, its a lot different story.

I give GT a lot of credit for scheduling the right way at NDSU to pursue the playoffs. If we lose at MN, we will likely be 2-1 and will need to go 5-3 to make the playoffs, which is very doable. If we would pull out a win at MN, 4-4 in Conf would give you a shot at the playoffs, although not likely again this year.

If we played two FBS games or had a DII at home like some, then you need to go 7-1 in conference. For those of you criticizing the schedule, you have it all wrong. SDSU fans will go ahead and criticize NDSU scheduling, but they don't have the attendance numbers to be able to bring in FCS opponents for guarantee games like NDSU. So really, our scheduling gives us a leg up. They are playing home&home OOC FCS games that are tougher and 1/2 the time on the road. Those game are great for the fans, but no so much for playoff chances. If SDSU can win at Cal Poly, then they will have overcome their schedule and put themselves in a great position. Like our MN, their IL game is likely a loss.

Notre Dame has never scheduled an FCS game. Take a gander at their schedule this year. They play Michigan, Michigan St., Stanford, USC, Purdue, and Navy every single year. They usually play Boston College as well. I'd say that those are all respectable games. Purdue is usually mediocre and Navy is usually mediocre but the rest are usually solid-good. Then they do play some lower quality teams like Western Michigan but hey, last year they played Utah when Utah was top 10. I like the way they schedule.

I also like the way we schedule. Set yourself up to go to the playoffs, to get home games in the playoffs.

Yes we have beaten them. I will need to look up how many times. Once we do it we celebrate and then let it go. We act like we have done it before and stop talking about it a week or two after it happens. We like to look forward.

Nice with all the bad reps! The truth hurts doesn't it? I saw a post earlier that said someone was happy to schedule weak team to set you up for the playoffs. That is sad.

If you have seen the current poll you will realize the respect UNI has in our division. We lost and moved UP 3 places. You guys pummled Lafayette and didn't move. Which game is repected more by the voters? I think the original intent of this post was to talk about schedule strength. Respect comes with that. Next year we open at Wisconsin and then play Iowa two weeks later. Who do you guys have in your first three games next year? The only poll I am concerned about. Is the one at the end of the year. Your state is broke not our problem. So you have 2 big money games to help out the buget. See ya down the road.. As I watch another oil truck pass by..

UNI is much like typical minnesota teams. Usually good enough to win some games, never good enough to win a championship.

Now I am a fan of a few minnesota teams, So i can relate with their all around general bitchyness when it comes to reality.

It is very frustrating to watch minnesota teams, even as someone who dislikes the Vikes. I like the Twins though, and it is frustrating. No need to bash UNI though guys, until we beat them (this century), they can talk shit. However, :) we can mention how we actually did something in the playoffs this year. I feel like NDSU and UNI are developing a nasty rivalry and I love it. Hopefully we will both represent the conference well in the playoffs in the coming years. UNI, please start winning the games you should, too much talent over there to be doing what your doing.

We play a tough conference, I prefer to have home OOC games, would I like one of them annually to be against a solid team? Yes, but that realisticly isn't going to happen if we want 6 home games.

Did someone yourin8 in your cherrios again? You will never get positive support when you come into a discussion with a bunch of negative horse shit. The only time I see most folks on this board dissing like this, it is a result of a foolish or arrogant poster who decides to poke the buffalo and then wonders what happened when the herd runs him into the ground.

Gratz on your moral victory yesterday. If you take a clue from the Bison, next year you should kick them all over the field... Oh thats right. You don't play ISU next year.

All I asked was if you had beaten them. Too bad you have to respond with all the defensive bullshit instead of trying to establish some dialogue.

WTF are you talking about?

When you talk football you are talking 2011.

In 2011, UNI has yet to win a game.

When we say football here, we are talking about 2011. UNI has no winning tradition when it comes to said 'football'. Haven't won in a game of football actually.

UNI is broke as a joke. Dollar wise it sounds like they are barely hanging on. Not to mention they play FB in a dump.

Is there any chance that they could lose their football program? That'd be a damn shame. Quality football down there....however, I think we'd see our recruiting area get a little bit bigger.
