I agree. Now every bar with be packed instead.

[Bison bison]

This is definitely in line with what the situation indicates.

[westnodak93bison]

So where are the 8,000 fans going to watch the game, including the other 11,000 who coudn't get tickets? This is going to be the busiest bar and restaurant day ever. So brilliant. Whoever made this decision is brain dead. I'll see you guys at the bar on Saturday!

[Bison bison]

NDSU had zero business sanctioning the original event. Even moreso as a state agency.

[1978Bison]

Watch Governor Burgum’s press conference on Thursday. I totally expect him to lower the boom and move to “Orange” risk levels for several counties, thus closing all but essential businesses, just like last Spring. Go out to your pubs, bars & restaurants before Thursday. If we’re lucky, he will make it effective after the game, but I’m expecting it before the game.

[JohnnyExtacy]

I'm utterly shocked that people are this hyped to watch a completely irrelevant, noncompetitive, meaningless, game against a garbage opponent. If anything, this game is a tiny taste of what you won't be getting this fall with what could have been unarguably the greatest NDSU football team ever. I honestly believe they were going to use this year's team, with a scheduled game with Oregon, 2 potential 1st round picks, as a possibly screentest on a recent move up to FBS and that has been completely derailed.

[No_Skill]

Here's a thought...watch at home. People going out is why we can't have nice things. Bitch and moan about leadership all you want. It's time for people to have some personal accountability and think about the greater good.

No chance. I haven't seen any action or ideas out of Matt Larson. I haven't been one of the people raging on and on about "moving up" or other things, but think about it, what has Matt Larson really brought to the program that wasn't already here? I just don't see reason to be excited anymore. It looks like the best players are leaving early and there isn't a compelling schedule (I know it's not easy). So we can (hopefully) watch them destroy Indiana State for the 10th time next spring....great. Changing the plans this late before a game when people have travel plans, etc. is just another slap in the face.

Watching parents on the news with no masks crying about no full time in person classes makes me want to tell them to look in the mirror for the source of their problem.

[ByeSonBusiness]

I doubt anywhere will be packed for what is going to amount to a scrimmage.

Where's the program supposed to go that it isn't already? The school, administration, and higher ups have all maintained that NDSU will not be moving up to FBS long before Larson was here. It's most likely he's doing what he's told with that direction. People cry about lack of games, but yes it's absolutely possibly he couldn't get one P5 team to bite. That isn't far fetched. Gene Taylor always said himself NDSU should always be in that 2nd tier of conferences. He moved on because he knew it and there wasn't anymore that he could do here.

The school is as far as its going to go until it decides it does want to move up. That isn't Matt Larson's decision.

[JohnnyExtacy]

I doubt anywhere will be packed for what is going to amount to a scrimmage.

If it is packed, it will be cleared out by the end of the first quarter when the score is 21+ to 0.

[HandoEX]

Flatten that CURVE... just like they said on MARCH 15 !!!


This combined with Spring combined with Bison Fatigue and Trey Lance and Dillon Radunz leaving is NOT DOING TO END WILL FOR NDSU

Millions? Really???

1918 Flu killed only 675,000 over a two year period.

Early on the range of expected deaths from covid-19 was between 100,000 to 200,000 which we've already blown threw.

Right. But you’re talking about a world with no in-person events; sports, concerts, rallies, etc. 100% virtual learning, no brick and mortar businesses period. Forever. Just doesn’t sound that great to me.

They didn't cower in their homes waiting for big daddy government.

weird take given that FCPH is far more democraticly legitimate than NDSU football

[reformedUNDfan]

People really wanted to risk a global media dumping in NDSU football so they can watch a single non competitive game in person

A few months later, in March of 1919, the Stanley Cup Finals was canceled, according to CBS Sports, just hours before Game 6 was scheduled to start, this because several players became ill. Years later, the Stanley Cup trophy was engraved with the following: 1919 Montreal Canadiens/Seattle Metropolitans/Series Not Completed.”


The 1918 football season was a mishmash of canceled seasons and truncated schedules, depending on the school and the conference. All seven members of the Missouri Valley Conference — which would become the Big 8/12 — shut down football completely. Eight other schools did the same thing. Most schools cut their schedules almost in half, playing five games.

[reformedUNDfan]

In your mind......so more small businesses going out of business is greater good......that is what will happen when you shut down everything.

over here in adult land, people are avoiding business anyway even though things are 'open'

forcing open busines just increases the burn rate and they die even faster

After this gutless decision and assuming I get 4 home games next Spring, I will be requestimg NDSU refund the cost of tickets I already paid for 2 non -conference games. They can keep my teammaker donation, but the fact is why should I pay for games they decided not to have? Have yet to hear anything about refunds that will be given.

Refund information was received in an email from Teammakers shortly after this decision was made.

[AEBison1998]

The 1918 flu was terrible in part because of who it killed. It was primarily the healthy because it would overstimulate the immune system. That generated so many orphans or single parent situations. It was really awful. There are a lot of differences between it and the current pandemic.
My grandmother also talked about young people who survived the 1918 flu but they were never the same. They were forever weak or had neurological issues the rest of their lives. (I suppose that is yet to be understood in the current pandemic.)
It was also seasonal and subsided in the summers. Then it all of a sudden mutated in early winter of the third year and the deaths dropped dramatically. Crazy. It is a reminder that we can't control as many things as we think we can.

In the (unlikely) absence of any control measures or spontaneous changes in individual behavior,

So a model based on the unlikely assumptions of zero attempts at containment. Nice try. Early models had a range of 100k to 200k deaths. I can post the video of Trump and his constantly rising predictions too if you'd like.

I received a call from Derrek Lang Monday... The day before they announced no fans at this game.
I will be emailing him.... I’ve changed my mind about my donation. This announcement was inconsiderately late. Yes, I understand public health and others we’re probably forcing that decision. (Just a couple of thoughts: We didn’t know this Arkansas game would be part of the ticket package until AFTER we applied for tickets. Then the explanation came. Some season-ticket holder’s would not have spoken for tickets if they would’ve had that information.) Anyway, just disgusted in how this game was handled.
IMO, they will have more cases of Covid because far more people will be gathering, eating and drinking in confined areas.
Spreading out at the dome with masks on = safer. But if they’re going to change the risk level again, it’s a whole different ballgame.

Forever? Not sure where you’re getting that from?
We’re not going to eradicate a respiratory virus by ‘staying home’. You’ll see a pattern of shutting down, re-open, shutting down like Israel and some other countries are experiencing. IMO a vaccine isn’t going to be efficacious enough to satisfy our government overlords so what is the endgame?

I agree you’re not going to eradicate it. We’ve only ever eradicated one virus. Fortunately, that’s not the standard.

You just need a good enough vaccine to get and keep the transmission rate down in combination with other sustainable interventions and improved medical treatments. 50% efficacy is the stated threshold from “our government overlords.” Then some of the following or some others that work and really aren’t that disruptive in some combination: sanitize your hands, don’t shake hands, no Euro kisses (not going to miss that), $1 paper test kits, we should probably be wearing masks at large public gatherings already anyway (cities with professional sports franchises have 25% more flu per capita than those that don’t).

I dont see how it would have been a big F.U. really, there are fans at the P5 games as far as I can tell. They've already given the "middle finger" you reference

My concern is what's an appropriate transmission rate. And if that's the goal wouldn't it make more sense to permanently ban most large public gatherings, i.e. sporting events (could still watch on tv), concerts, events such as Sturgis, etc.?

[bri-dog]

This is 100% correct.

1. We have effective, scientifically proven treatments right now. (Leftist media seems to not want to admit how effective simple steroids have been.) And don't forget redemsivir. But this does not fit the fear porn narrative. (really like the fear porn line)
2. Minimal transmission is NOT needed to fully get back to a full normal......why? Eventually, we will have vaccines. Once those are fully available to all with no major inhibitions to access, transmission could still be significant. So, you hide in the basement when it is now a personal choice to not get the vaccine? That is complete hogwash.

I requested a full refund for Spring. I have zero confidence our fearless leaders will play in Spring (assuming they insist on minimal spread to have a season since FCS cannot function without fan revenue) and I want NDSU to realize how poorly they have managed this.

[southcliffbison]

They based their entire decision on yellow level.

Yellow is such an appropriate color.

[gizmo]

I agree. Now every bar with be packed instead.

Bars must follow social distancing and capacity guidelines so they will not be packed.

[HerdBot]

Bars must follow social distancing and capacity guidelines so they will not be packed.

Yeah and every single bar will be at 100% of the limited capacity. In addition house parties will be packed. All they are doing is making the problem worse.

[SDbison]

[daddy daycare]

So punish athletes because you're feelers are hurt. Sounds like the UND "Sooooo forever" take.

[SDbison]

So punish athletes because you're feelers are hurt. Sounds like the UND "Sooooo forever" take. I paid my teammaker dues for this year, but this morning I requested money back for games not played. My teammakers dues are more costly than two tickets for a season so still supporting athletics. Some pressure has to be put on this admin to allow full attendance in the spring. If they think people will pay and not be able to attend they are badly mistaken.

[daddy daycare]

I don't think anyone will have to worry about a full Fargodome in the spring regardless of restrictions or not.

[THEsocalledfan]

I don't think anyone will have to worry about a full Fargodome in the spring regardless of restrictions or not.

Yeah, and these pud loser teams we play will not play anyway as it will save them money since their admins won't allow fans......

[56BISON73]

Spring season will be nothing more than glorified spring ball. If they actually have a spring season.

Im going to TX fishing.

[mnriverbison]

Here's a thought...watch at home. People going out is why we can't have nice things. Bitch and moan about leadership all you want. It's time for people to have some personal accountability and think about the greater good.

It's me, the man's man, who will lay my life on the line to protect my community, but I will not slow the spread of a disease which kills the old and weak. In a way they deserve it, for being old and weak. Cause human society is literally a bison herd.

[HerdBot]

NDSU decided. No outside influence. Either ML or DB.

[KC Bison]

I want the Bison to win Saturday....but hoping that Lance has a poor game.Its a joke that we are having a one game season. Call me selfish, I want this not to be his last game as a Bison. Ok, let it hit the fan.

Nothing wrong with feeling that way. This would have been the best offense in NDSU history and we don’t get to see it

[ndsubison1]

If Lance wants to be #1 pick he should stay another year

[Bison Dan]

NDSU decided. No outside influence. Either ML or DB.

Then why did the mayor and CCH meet with Matt if not to put some pressure on him. Yes it was Matt's decision but he may not have had a choice.

[EC8CH]

Infections are and will determine how open society and businesses are. It's like that for international travel, private business, and public organizations like NDSU. That's why what's best for business to keep infection rates under control. This isn't new information, it's been known since the beginning of the pandemic.

[Hammerhead]

Many have wondered if players will be healthy enough in the fall if they play 8 games (plus playoffs for some teams) in the spring.



Spring season will be nothing more than glorified spring ball. If they actually have a spring season.

Im going to TX fishing.

[MNLonghorn10]

If Lance wants to be #1 pick he should stay another year

Haha.

He gone

[EC8CH]

Haha.

He gone

One Hundred Percent.

[THEsocalledfan]

One Hundred Percent.

Agreed. Reality is the increase is pay to be #1 pick will never make up for the year of pay you lose. I just don't see any rationale argument to stay.

[EC8CH]

The draft buzz is huge even compared to Wentz. Where there is that much smoke there has to be a fire in enough NFL team's interest in him that he's a lock for the 1st round and gone this year. This might be the craziest NDSU football event of the D1 era. That a redshirt sophomore QB would declare and be drafted in the 1st round. Is that more improbable than winning 8/9 Natties or 6 straight vs FBS? It's gotta be up there.

[ndsubison1]

Haha.

He gone

Lance is likely gone, but Herbert turned down being the potential #1 pick to stay for Senior year. Crazier things have happened and not having a full season of games/tape this year certainly hurts Lance.

[EC8CH]

Anything's possibly. It'd put it at 95/5 at this point of him declaring this year. All it takes is one team to fall in love and 20 some are coming to Fargo tomorrow.

[Bison bison]

I think Lance should get the hell out of Fargo as soon as the game is over.

I'm worried one of you whack jobs are going to go "I'm your number one fan" on the young man.

[El_Chapo]

Herbert was at a PAC 12 school with donors with deep pockets.
I can give him a Free Don's Car wash and some Sandy's Donuts to stay though... LOL


besides #1 overall pick to #8 overall pick... still making $5-10Million a year.

[GreenfieldBison]

Agreed. Reality is the increase is pay to be #1 pick will never make up for the year of pay you lose. I just don't see any rationale argument to stay.


Complete his degree? You know like, just in case...

[JohnnyExtacy]

Yea, and it cost him $12 million through 4 years and $7 million on day 1.

Lance would be dumb as hell to stay another year, and every rational football fine who's not watching through only green and gold knows it. He has a hell of a lot more to lose than to gain.

[El_Chapo]

Complete his degree? You know like, just in case...

you can get a degree online FFS. and he's already in year 3 of school so 1 year of online will be easy (especially since most others are doing it too with covid)

[GreenfieldBison]

Gee, never thought of that.

[tony]

Heck, I wouldn't be shocked if he graduates this spring.

But if he doesn't, a strategic communications degree would be doable online pretty easily, you'd think.

Maybe... His name is do big right now I think he may be fine riding the wave. Its not unheard of for GM's and owners to get caught up on hype. I mean Carson, didn't have a year of tape and it worked out ok for his draft stock.

Personally, (and this isn't meant as a shot at the kid) I am shocked that he is getting as much hype as he is. I hope he slays it on Saturday and goes off to be drafted and earns 1 Bazillion dollars.

Is a Bazillion a multiple of a Gazillion or is it the other way around?

[EC8CH]

It is crazy. An FCS sophomore with only 16 starts who doesn't put up video game numbers because of the style of offense... Beside no picks and NDSU, what else is there to fan the hype flames above what scouts see in his tape and physical talent? It does seem crazy he's getting this much hype so early, but here we are.

[JMB]

Is a Bazillion a multiple of a Gazillion or is it the other way around?

I need to look but if I remember it takes 146 Bazillions to make a Gazillion.

As they say, players make Bazillions, the people who sign the players checks make Bazillions.

[El_Chapo]

SURE WISH I WAS GOING TO FARGO TOMORROW!!!!!!!!!!!!!

guess I'll take my oil money elsewhere.

Carson was a redshirt senior. Trey is missing a full redshirt sophomore season

[pucknut9]

I doubt anywhere will be packed for what is going to amount to a scrimmage.

They will be packed. Folks are hungry for some Bizon football regardless the opponent

IDK what forum or thread to even post this in but Izzo tweeted that Southern Utah is leaving the Big Sky to join the WAC. The WAC is still a thing? link to tweet: https://twitter.com/SkylineSportsMT/status/1312142232883875841

Must be other sports. There is no WAC in football.

Izzo's tweet says "and a new football league" so that'd make sense.

[Hammersmith]

Izzo's tweet says "and a new football league" so that'd make sense.

The story is still only coming from a single reporter/blogger. It may be true, we don't know yet, but we haven't had any secondary confirmation.

The WAC has repeatedly said it wants to add FCS football with 8-10 football-playing members. It currently only has/will have two: Tarleton State and Dixie State. Assorted rumors have them getting up to as many as seven fairly quickly(SUU switches, UTRGV & Grand Canyon add FB, NMSU drops down from FBS, West Texas A&M moves up from DII). Some of those rumors are more likely than others(WTAMU likely; NMSU less so).

@scotthennen
I hear @NDSU
was bullied into this decision. The Fargo Cass Public Health folks have way too much power, unelected power. And it has nothing to do with the change to yellow recommendations.

Someone’s lying to us?! Fans were not allowed to “protect the players”? To protect the players, all that had to be done, was block off the first 8 rows, and spread the fans out, as was done at Larks baseball. Medora musical and require masks. Also, at first it was social distance 6 ft OR wear a mask if 6 ft is not possible. Now, you have to socially distance AND wear mask! Close contact was 15 minutes, now close contact is being anywhere is the same building for any amount of time. What’s the truth!

yea. lots of mixed messages on this. pathetic & gutless.

How can some of this debacle not be pinned on Matt Larsen? Can't say I wasn't expecting this outcome. How could ndsu think a one game season would be a good idea? That's Matt. Supposed to be looking towards the future of bison athletics not set up a one game NFL draft expo that failed horribly. Ruined a kids draft stock and got punched in the gut to boot. Really thinking forward. Like someone else said most outcomes of this game weren't going to be good. Trey would have had to play lights out for anything positive to come of this. What a joke. Good going Matt you did exactly what you where hired to prevent. Stay safe.

The only positives are the win, the streak and Road Warriors streak. Thats it.
The negatives are that Lance just pissed down his leg. First round = LOL.

Matt Larsen, you just cost Trey Lance a couple of million dollars. Sleep well.

[HerdBot]

ML has been solid but this decision was stupid. If I get covid-19, it will be because I was at a packed bar that was probably less safe than the dome

Shit Central Arkansas brought 50 fans with them but us hardcore Bison fans who have probably paid millions in donations get to watch from home. Fuck off ML

And then you got the seniors who ended up playing in at atmosphere worse than a spring game. Again fuck off ML

[Grizzled]

Matt Larsen, you just cost Trey Lance a couple of million dollars. Sleep well.

Trey had a little part in that as well.

Lance is not ready for the big time. He needs another year. I know its one game, but not a lot of tape hurts him. He can be #1 pick in 2022

[2011BisonAlumni]

Matt Larsen, you just cost Trey Lance a couple of million dollars. Sleep well.

Lol....just shut the fuck up you ignorant redneck

ML didn’t play the game today. Trey did. If he can’t blow out the doors on Central Arkansas he DEFINITELY isn’t ready for the NFL.

ML did Lance a favor IMO.

It was your decision to go to someplace other than your own domicile. Jus’ sayin’.

And, you paid MILLIONS in donations? What do you do?

Actually Matt Larsen had UCA, SFA and Jacksonville State lined up but didn't pull the trigger. 3 games wouldve helped Trey alot more than 1

Ignorant redneck? I'm not from Mississippi. ML put Trey and the whole team in an unenviable situation. This was game 4 for CA, game 1 for the Bison if you've been paying attention. Unless TL played lights out (he didn't), his draft stock would lower and no one is arguing that. We're on the same page, Dipshit; Trey's not ready and I, too, wish he would stay thru the spring season...….so you STFU.

[southcliffbison]

Chapo, we all agree that 3 games would have helped; but Bresciani is the asshole in the Hallmark movie, not Larsen. ML is like Himmler answering to the Fuhrer.

[El_Chapo]

nope you got it backwards. Heck Larson was down in Florida back in March/April when all of this was going on with his east coast buddies.

[56BISON73]

Matt Larsen, you just cost Trey Lance a couple of million dollars. Sleep well.

ML had nothing to do with TLs poor performance. Thats all on TL. But its also not surprising when this was game one for us and game 4 for them.
Their D was amped up and took it to us. This shows the difference between game speed and practice speed.

[steelbison]

People are so clueless. NDSU wanted fans the City of Fargo said no. They actually own the FARGODOME. Spoke with an NDSU official. It was not their call. They were heartbroken the seniors didn’t get fans. Plus NDSU lost money on this game without fans. So everyone pleas quit with this BS

So why did the city of Fargo let the dean stand on the sidelines. No business being there. Why didn't the fans social distance? It was so stupid. Take precautions but just half ass. Bull shit.

[ndsubison1]

The fans were packed in the same sections.

[56BISON73]

I saw that also. Too funny.

[El_Chapo]

hyprocrisy

steel - I've heard it was NDSU decision, others say the City. Sounds like collusion to me , they let half of us think 1 or the other and both take blame equally with no 1 taking all the blunt force

[HerdBot]

The fans were packed in the same sections.

Yep. Way to social distance. That is dumb AF

[HerdBot]

How much revenue did we lose due to this dumb decision?

Believe it or not, scouts don't generally blame the quarterback for receivers dropping well thrown balls.

Star this thread... its gonna be looked back on for years

[CivilBison96]

Question is... (and maybe answered in another thread or maybe this one as I skimmed through), did they let Roadwarrior in to continue the streak?
