2020 ndsu football season

[mnriverbison]

Opener at BYU or Oklahoma St
2nd week: vs Montana in Bismarck
3rd week: at Hawaii

Lets make this happen.


Would be the ultimate 2020 play for the Bison to play an away game at Hawaii that nobody can go to.

But man, how about we get them on the future schedule? The ultimate Bison away trip IMO

We'd have to crowdfund a small dingy and some oars for Road to keep the streak alive.

Also Lakes, why not Hawaii in Bismarck? That solves all of Road's problems.

[BattleBorn]

if NCAA puss's out and cancels championships.

MVFC could play its 8 games and then have a MVFC Championship game at US Bank Stadium.


NDSU should find 2 more games in Sept for Non Conference, go Rogue and lets do something out of the ordinary

We could always ask the legislature to vote us 2020 National Champions, though I'm not sure how that would turn out.

Not directly related to football, but the Summit League is going conference only competition for fall sports including volleyball and soccer.

It really just kind of feels like there are leagues/teams whose audience primarily wants them to announce early and leagues/teams whose audience primarily wants them to wait and see but that we’re all getting the same news in the end. Sucks and I hope I’m wrong.

[Da Bison]

don't be 5% of ndsu fans still living in 1987 and bringing them up all the time.

I wanna see FBS games, if this season is gonna be a clusterbleep, lets do something crazy.

Hell have an outdoor game again at Target field.

It was a joke............asshole!

[NDSU92]

August NCAA meetings: Fall Championships postponed, possibility of spring championships. Due to this possibility NDSU postponed football to spring (along with pretty much all FCS, probably FBS)
October/November: Viable vaccine data, NCAA states they will host spring championships)
January 2021: Fall schedule moved to spring, Oregon game back on
May 2021: NDSU whoops ass in 90 degree heat in Frisco Texas.

My hopeful best case scenario for football before Fall 2021

At this point if we have fall football it will be conference only and that is being pretty optimistic.

No more crazy than people thinking there will be a season this fall.

In a weird way I’m hoping AD’s are that desperate for money and student athletes are desperate to not lose a season of ball that everyone would get on board.

All being said, it’s a pipe dream. But it’s a pipe dream where NDSU vs. Oregon exists. And that’s why it matters to me

My understanding is they plan on eventually going off winning percentage if games are unable to be made up.

There is no invulnerability cheat code however a mask and face shield should be more than sufficient. COVID is VEEEERRRRRY difficult to catch via touching of surfaces. The only reliable way is via droplets or personal contact. As long as Roadwarrior is not hooking up with randoms along the way he should be fine.

Why not reduce the density just like the games? Perhaps they allow 25% of the density but open up a larger area? Perhaps they shut down part of 19th Ave for a few hours. In our area, we have urban districts that have a higher density of restaurants. In some of those areas, they've taken the parking lane in the street and provided seating nooks facing and open to the sidewalk. Since most of these areas are so walkable anyway, the lost parking is okay since the benefit to the businesses is so high. Everybody understands and is willing to deal with the extra hassle. Maybe something similar could be employed for tailgating. If not 19th, maybe elsewhere.

Exactly this. If at all possible get the season in and if things haven't gotten better by the end of November then either hold the championship game in Frisco with the top two teams or just call it good and let the media vote for a champion.

Not much headroom for more teams to drop out with pioneer and caa already called off.

[NDSUstudent]

Still not sure how a playoff is even possible in this environment, what if a team has an outbreak during it? Are they just done? Would be a complete sham if that was the case.

Maybe we have a vaccine by the spring and if so it would make things a lot simplier. That said, maybe we don't but the FCS is a complete tire fire when it comes to being on the same page with this thing right now. It is a complete joke.

If people really want to try fall football, I would move to a conference schedule only if I was the MVFC and try to copy the Big 10's plan. It is the best I've seen, maybe we could have a conference title game if there is no playoff and then some kind of bowl game. I don't know, it is just a mess and they keep kicking the can down the road instead of making a decision.

[NDSU92]

It’s all a slow procession to no playoffs. Probably doesn’t matter anyways, what happens when UNI gets 5 positive tests the week before we play them? We’ll be lucky to get three games in this fall.

Yes. Surprisingly, I'm not hearing much about this. It's easy to say, "oh just cancel and play next year", but I don't think people really understand the implications.

I believe the number this minute is 61 out of 123, or 49.59%. The 111 total that Jeff, Craig and others have been using did not include the Ivy or SWAC.


Correction, playoffs still technically on by a single team. Number of eligible teams is 119, not 123*. But the number of teams saying they want to compete at this minute is 60. So we're currently at 50.42%. And that's counting JMU, Villanova and Elon from the CAA.


*The poster that gave me that number either counted the four transitioning teams or the four teams declared ineligible for APR scores.

Yeah, I go through all the freaking trouble of putting a politics forum on the board and he still puts this stuff here. Makes a guy want to change his permissions so he can't post on the Football forum.

Which is what I have done (or attempted to do.)

And I just looked at the post that got bisonaudit put in that category and there isn't a single thing political about it. People saying it's political doesn't make it so. So sorry about that, bisonaudit.

At this point in the TV show, the doctor would be rubbing the paddles together for the fourth time and telling the nurse to turn the defibrillator up to 11 while shouting, "Don't you die on me!"

Except, tragically, he or she hasn't noticed that the patient came in without a head due to Decapitation Syndrome.

You can wait until after the commercial break to see if the patient makes it, but, really, the writing is on the wall.

I'm up for it. Put together all the parts (teams that want to play, but their conferences don't) and have at it. Put together a couple/few makeshift conferences with a playoff at the end. It could be done.

Summer camp roster is out - incoming freshman have been added:

https://gobison.com/sports/football/roster

An unexpected category - those who are now listed as taller than high school measurements on signing day (since hs #s can be “stretched”)

- Raja Nelson, 5’ 9” 182 WR - was 5’ 8” 175 - if any taller he would have been offered by Da Gophers :)

- Marquis Sigle, 5’ 11” 174 - was 5’ 10” 170 (can always use a tall CB)

- Hayden Johnston, 6’ 2” 270 - was 6’ 1” 259 (listed as an OL, thought he might start out as a DT)

- Oscar Benson, 6’ 1” 199 LB - was 6’ 180

Another category - larger size than hs:

- Mason Miller, 6’ 6” 265 OL - was 232 (always looked like a TE on tv :))

- Grey Zabel, 6’ 5” 270 - was 247

- Trey Steinbach, 6’ 3” 235 DE - was 220

- Ty Satter, 6’ 1” 194 S - was 167

And what can happen going from high school measurements to college:

- Loshiaka Roques, 6’ 2” 205 DE - was 6’ 3” 215 (sounds like a LB, good player - if he was 6’ 4” FBS would have been all over)

- Seth Anderson, 6’ 4” 268 OL - was 6’ 5” (but only 253) (was hoping he would be that rare tall DT - 6’ 5” - starts out as an OL)

From talking to a few FCS coaches, model circulating for potential spring season would include 8 league games and then a 16-team playoff, ending around Memorial Day. Going back nine or 10 weeks from start of playoffs, season would start during the first two weekends of March.

What do you think College Football will look like this fall?. You do realize the minute 1 player tests positive from any program the entire program will have to cancel and self isolate for 14 days right?

[TAILG8R]

All this spring football talk is still betting on a vaccine before then. Without it all the same concerns will be in play. The can has been kicked, how many more times will it be kicked down the road is yet to be seen.

[roadwarrior]

We better start worrying about basketball season too.

[23Bison]

As it stands, what is the point of all college athletics for 2020. More or less nothing will change next spring from now. Yes there is a possibility of a vaccine but who’s to say that will work and then that assumes that all of the players and such are on board with taking a vaccine. (Some May not) Too add onto everything, we are supposed to go through what the “experts” say will be worst time for this type of virus and all of the hysteria that will ensue and then expect to play a spring season. If it’s not happening this fall then it’s not happening next spring. Kids lives will be toyed with and be strung along.

Herd immunity much more of a savior than a vaccine. They may never play again if a vaccine is looked at as the only way things are "safe" enough.

[tony]

I understand that herd immunity may not actually occur with these types of viruses...

Call me crazy, but if our strategy is to sacrifice 1 to 2 million lives in pursuit of herd immunity, we better be damn sure that getting COVID-19 gives lasting immunity first. And, even then, it seems like a bad trade when wearing masks, social distancing, and dealing with flare-ups has been proven to work.

[23Bison]

What would clear up the muddy waters a bit is if everyone with the decision/policy making ability would stay consistent. Most have no idea what we should shouldn’t do. It’s ok to go to these functions but not those. Sadly it’s all politically motivated.

[wisco4]

70+% of the population would have to recover from the virus for herd immunity to take effect. That is projected to take years.

The research is now not supporting this. It was not a novel virus and the assumption that the population did not have some immunity against the virus was incorrect. It is more like 10-30% threshold due to the fact a significant portion of the population already has some form of immunity.

[bisonfanette]

Swany was on the radio a short while ago, & said he thinks we saw TL play the last time as a Bison. He said that he would be shocked, if he played again as a bison.
He also mentioned the worst thing teamakers could do, would be to ask for their $ back. He said the athletic department and student athletes are going to need those donations more than ever.

Play in a bubble like the NBA (that I will never watch) in Sioux Falls or Fargo. Put all the team up there. Probably no fans but at least we would have a season and can watch on tv.

I don't think anyone's strategy is to sacrifice a certain number of lives. I just think heard immunity or the virus burning out is closer than we think. In football terms we're midway through the 4th quarter of this thing. I'm front line medical, I believe I've seen patients with this since late January, I got it, thought I may die but I'm back at it. Good news my wife or kids never had a wiff of a symptom. Its a wierd disease but were getting better at treating it and understanding it. We need to protect the elderly and otherwise vulnerable but we're darn close to effective herd immunity and thats a positive.

Thanks for sharing. I have a 50-year-old friend who has the virus right now and he could’ve swore it was nothing more than a sinus issue! If it weren’t for his wife testing positive with flu symptoms, he would’ve never thought to be tested. Like you said, such a weird disease. I know of 60 and 70-year-old people who have tested positive, they were ill for 4 to 5 days, and that’s it.

UND just announced no fall games for them so that means they are backing out of the K-State game. NDSU is the perfect candidate to fill that game. The coaches know and trust each other as do people in the AD. We will follow whatever protocals ADGT wants us to to a T and he knows it. ADGT could request NDSU fans not to travel and we would listen. Plus, they would be throwing us a giant bone. The original guarantee for UND was 475K. The "Covid 19" going rate that Missouri State and SIU are getting from OU and KU is $300,000 which should be good enough for us as well. Honestly, it's the perfect situation for both schools. Where is Lakes at? Pump this up Lakes, let's go!

Nothing short of the vast majority of players getting a vaccine is required for college football in the spring. The sheer number of players, level of physical contact, inability to regulate 18-22 year olds and level of regional (and sometimes national) travel required is too much to overcome.

P5 might be able to pull it off in the spring, but there is no way on God’s green earth that a majority of FCS schools can self-fund the multiple tests for each player required each week for three months.

With that in mind, I would hope that we are talking to the top teams in FCS that want and financially need to play football this year. As has been mentioned by myself and others on here, come up with a one year super conference and set requirements on testing, online classes only, quarantine regulations, etc. Sell each game as pay per view, for a similar cost of a game ticket. My guess is that without a vaccine that would be your only way to see a full season get played.

"So picture a North Dakota State official 2020-2021 spring football schedule:

March 18th MINOT ST.
March 27th at Drake
April 3rd SOUTH DAKOTA STATE
April 10th at South Dakota
April 17th NORTH DAKOTA"

Um, Minot State?????

[Bisonator98]

So here is one guy's vision for a Spring FCS football season and championship

http://www.college-sports-journal.com/the-fcs-should-now-try-to-play-a-modified-season-in-the-spring-heres-how-you-do-it/

That guy is high, not just lehigh either....

[HerdBot]

Mac moves to spring. Rumors that FBS moves to spring. These players who are transferring may be making a knee jerk decision that negatively impacts their nfl aspirations if the FBS moves too.

reformedUNDfan had asked for sources concerning something I posted in this thread so I was just responding.

[BisonJump]

Well it looks like there is nothing to look forward to this fall thanks to FFing China!!! I thought recruiting would carry the workload till August but that will die too because of the spring scheduling and some of our top players will probably opt out for the NFL before the spring season (can’t believe I typed that) starts. I’m out. See you guys whenever something exciting and positive happens.

Ummmm. Other countries got the same virus from China and are doing far far better in bringing things back to as normal as they can be than the USA. Maybe look around a little more. It didn’t have to be like this.

Your shot at political statement? It didn’t have to be this way for anyone. China F’d up a lot for the world and me thinks it was intensional. Also to add there aren’t a hell of a lot of countries that have the population of the US let alone its size.

According to Dan Patrick, the Big 10 has voted 12-2 to move to spring.

I have updated my chance of a football season this year from 0% to 0%.

Check in next week for the next update.

[Hammersmith]

According to Dan Patrick, the Big 10 has voted 12-2 to move to spring.

Pac-12 will probably vote 9-3 or 10-2 tomorrow to do the same. Then the tug of war over the ACC and Big 12 goes into overdrive.

[THEsocalledfan]

Most fascinating, and terrifying, part of all of this is teams that actually make money at football like P5 schools and NDSU MUST play in the Spring or risk financial Armageddon......

Could donors really fill holes like that when you just denied them the product they seek?

PS: Say good bye to Trey the Dillon; you've seen that last of them. Jabril may also be done.......

[Gully]

Honestly with the way things are going, it might end in no donations at all. It's trending toward minor league professional basically. Why even have it associated with schools at that point? If that happens, then why would I continue to support a minor league team? I can't imagine paying this kind of money for minor league baseball, for example. They might just be killing the goose that lays the golden eggs.

Things are going to look Waaaaaay different when college football eventually comes back. You can kiss the amateur model goodbye. Name, image and likeness is coming no matter what, but now, I bet schools will want a cut of any of that revenue to help offset and still pay for all the other sports. Buckle the F*ck up everyone

Some light reading for you. Remember, you asked.

Those are actually pretty light reading... they are at the hypothesis stage really.

The first link makes an interesting point about a certain percentage of the population already having some immunity... but if that were the case, you'd think the older you were, the more likely you'd have the immunity. Unless, of course, many of the bad cases are caused by immune systems overreacting. That would kind of make sense since steroids seem to be effective in some cases.

Note: I sure hope they are right in their hypotheses.

yes 3 FBS non Conf games

I really don't give a shit if we go 0-3!

Grab 3 games vs BIG 12, SEC, ACC.... or SoCon/Southland I guess.

But we could go 3-0.... Then we’d all be ruined. Would be a nice season just with those 3 games. Could care less if they were all on the road.

Got to agree on this. But, here is a question I can't figure out.....

NDSU is currently in camp.....how long do you stay in camp with no games scheduled? At what point do they pull the plug? What an awful situation.

[mnriverbison]

Does Cade Johnson entering the transfer portal fall into this sort of general 2020 thread or does it belong elsewhere? It is a real problem for the bunnies if they are going to play a 2020 season.

Yep, and the great leaders who make crap decisions can't even envision and address the complications they create by cancelling fall football (how do spring and fall football work in 2021, what should players do that are currently in camp, how does this affect players with NFL draft potential). Bunch of idiots!

They stay in camp until they know whether they can get 3 games scheduled this fall.

My current dream is that NU bucks the Big 10 and plays this fall, and schedules and gets smoked by NDSU, then fires their coach, gets kicked out of the Big 10 for playing ball, the Big 12 tells them to get fucked and they end up in the American.

You should know with your sources and all, NDSU has reached out to basically everyone that wants to potentially play football. Ball’s in their court now. Bison will play 3 fall games against anyone that will step up.

I find it ironic that it is safe enough to play high school football (in most states) and the NFL, but not college football. I wonder why college is considered more dangerous with all of the safety and testing measures in place.

First you can't compare college to the NFL at all. The NFL is a multi-billion dollar industry that has money to burn. As far as HS goes, there's no interstate travel involved, no flights or hotel accomodations, only about 50-60 kids and a handful of coaches per team. It's just not comparable at all really.

So money makes things safer in regards to the NFL. And if traveling is sooooooo dangerous, why aren’t airlines shut down? We can go round and round with this.

When the people taking the risk get the reward and have the information, access to independent experts, are collectively involved in the development of safety protocols, and have the ability individually to make an informed decision about their health and that of their family, sure.

The high school situation I don’t understand, and I’m not just talking about the football.

There are some very vocal college football athletes/coaches who want to play. If programs can field enough, they should be able to play. No one would be forcing an athlete to play against their will.
