Potential Future Opponents

ESPN tonight - Sat 25 Aug - Jacksonville State vs NC Aggies

[DCinOK]

Unfortunately, a lame choice for an FCS Kickoff game....about the same number of fans at the small-school High School game I was at last night. And, Jax State continues their Transfer Tradition with a starting QB who moved in from Clemson.

Not a good representation of the FCS so far, unless you’re a fan of a HCBU team.

but that is SEC, baby! totally gives the game and JSU credibility.

Or ACC.

Oops, my bad... well one of those southeast "real football" places
The sarcasm still fits.

[OrygunBison]

This is just an awful game. My 7th and 8th graders are more fundamentally disciplined than these teams.

Absolutely terrible football. JFC-------god awful. Only way I can describe it.

The players attitudes were worse than the football. But of course this is the team that trash talked in the tunnel in frisco. I put that on the coach.

JSU is a four year version of "Last Chance U" -- or, at least that is my impression of what they are.

BTW, watched part of this game, then came to my senses and watched Colorado st Hawaii. (And NDSU could also beat both those teams, easily.)

[Bison 4 Life]

Man, the AGS discussion on this game is wild. Fun read.

Man, in terms of Frisco appearances JSU looks one and done.

[MankatoBison]

what a HORRIFIC game.... I gave it a chance- I thought "you know, It's the first game of the year, should be a good game, maybe even fun! I'll tune in", damn was I wrong..... It is legitimately pathetic that these are two top 25 teams... much less top 10 or 15. I mean that's Really F*ckin bad for the FCS. Sad really...

Then, the hero sports guy after the game still tried to say those teams are good; couldn't figure out what he watched. I like him, but that really damages you credibility.

[devin45k]

Jax state players always look a little less conditioned compared to other MVFC teams.

Fat, just say fat. I remember comparing O lines and theirs all had guts hanging out of their jerseys.

Yes, that is the word for it.

I remember the FCS championship we played them and getting a text from my dad saying "they look chunky."

[bri-dog]

After the JSU championship game, I chatted with a few JSU fans at Tight Ends. They were "flab"bergasted at our DLine. "Damn, those guys are big, but there ain't no fat on 'em".

JSU won't be that good, but their schedule is pathetic and they probably will still get a high seed.

[Hammerhead]

I watched the first several minutes and there were a few blatant personal fouls that made JSU look bad.

[SDbison]

I want NDSU to play Alabama. Wow, Alabama sure picks some loser FCS teams to kick around. Don't understand why, but last night ESPNU was rebroadcasting the Alabama - Mercer game from the end of last season. Alabama won 56-0. Why would they even show that game again?

It would be nice to see how we stack up against "the best." I honestly have no idea what to expect in a game against an opponent like that.

...feels like we've had this conversation before...

[heffray]

Oregon is on the upswing, if I'm reading the news correctly. Hopefully they're T25 rated when we play them in 2020.

There's only been two times since they established themselves in D1 that I expected NDSU to get hammered and lose by 3 scores or more; against Minnesota in 2006 and against Iowa in 2016. Both times they greatly exceeded my expectations. I'd expect them to lose by 20-30 points to Bama so.... maybe there's a chance..... [insert Lloyd Christmas image here] :biggrin:

I think there is a chance we would lose by less than 20-30.

Agree. I’ve always said that I think it would be closer than people think it would be...

It’s basically a bye week for them as they are getting ready for their annual matchup with Auburn at the Iron Bowl the following week.

Heck, if they lose another game and don't win their conference they may not or should not even be in the playoffs.

8-3 would probably still get them in the playoffs.

This may be why Youngstown State lost playing Butler 'High School'. http://ysupenguins.com/forum/index.php/topic,17168.0.html

Might also be karma for some of their recent recruiting decisions.

NVM .. I see Carl is at Bowling Green.

Their run defense was very respectful and the QB was very good; WRs were also what we saw in the Natty. According to the game announcer, they have 9 FBS transfers which he mentioned several times. According to the game announcer, the NCS QB is the best of the 2018 QB class. I would not write JMU off just yet.
