You know damn well they’ll end up on our schedule in two years. Seems like almost every time there is a new school, we have to greet them.
It was all good until he included Northern Iowa and Southern Utah in a short list of growing problems. LOL at our two closest schools not being on that list even though SDSU might deserve to be on it.Quote:

I’m not talking about FBS you knob. I’m talking about the non-revenue sports.Quote:

UND has fans? I thought those people were paid to show upQuote:

What weirdness, that’s 2 MVFC teams not named SDSU or NDSU not ‘embarrassing’ themselves against the mighty FBS Big 12……
And more weirdness, those same Big 12 teams both beat teams from the Mountain West…… :)
And more weirdness, the MVFC’s Northern Iowa not ‘embarrassing’ themselves against 16th Ranked Iowa State during week 1, also a Big 12 team
Yeah I’m not sure why Lakes always adds the “Pud” in front of schools that are basically who he wants NDSU to be or at least be in their position. I mean I know why but it’s a Big XII team that is currently ranked. “Pud” should only be allowed for the FCS ranks and Scottie’s alone time activities.
if they chose to bus, they pud. i was just messing around.haha. 250 miles ain't much trip to the twin cities
anyways fox sports runs a story about NDSU QBU. perfect time to us this attention as a springboard with an ADMIN STATEMENT
"NDSU Football & it's facilities are FBS Quality & NDSU actively welcomes a FBS conference invite, yet remains committed to the MVFC"

You continually keep beating the drum of FCS competitiveness. The reality is that it isn’t just about that. It’s also about the perception or lack thereof that is driving the building apathy. We are going to have some tough games on our schedule this season. It doesn’t matter though because the perception is that we are playing beneath our level. The program needs to show that they are willing to strive for something bigger or the apathy is going to continue to grow.Quote:

And imo there are only a few Fcs Or Bust FOBers on Bville.
The rest, including a big silent majority, I think are somewhere in between. Many, if not most, of the ‘tweeners realize going FBS is not as easy as Chapo/Lakes would have had you think all these years……
But now that change is finally here, with conference realignment (could have been caused by P5 breaking away also)
people would welcome that football-only Mountain West invite, long-shot that it is.
methinks Chapo has never looked up the definition,Quote:

Fair enough but it can come off as advocating for staying FCS. Every year it becomes more apparent that staying in FCS is not a preferred path. If we do end up staying, we should probably reevaluate and reallocate some of the football funding dollars to basketball because it makes very little sense to spend like we do if we don’t/can’t get as good of a ROI as we would with basketball.Quote:

And a few more are capable of it in the short term.
So I do root for FCS improvements, as the only thing I know for sure is NDSU is playing FCS football this year……
Will the rising tide lift all FCS boats?
Nope, the FCS will share that commonality with FBS where only so many teams are legitimate title contenders. But programs can be built and new contenders emerge, so teams like Cal Davis and Southern Illinois are some that I find interesting.
I do remain unconvinced there was any FBS conference willing to take NDSU since the Bison went FCS.
It’s always been a location, location, location
and a population, population, population problem.
If North Dakota had 7.6 million instead of 760,000…
then that would overcome the location location location problem.
Although times have changed with conference realignment,
I also will not be surprised that the Mountain West, despite what I think NDSU could bring to the conference with the name brand recognition and eyeballs watching - will go other direction (s) - perhaps Texas schools.
But I do dream on NDSU/SDSU Montana State/Montana joining on in with Wyoming & others……
In the meantime I like how strong the MVFC is. I also liked seeing how FCS teams did against MW teams. I didn’t even mention today Montana State almost roping the Cowboys and SDSU handling Colorado State.
NDSU has been at this ELITE LEVEL since 2011
. that's the problem
135-11 8 titles 9 FBS wins. we haven't belonged in FCS for 8 years now. sorry man, these are facts
It’s great that you continue to find excitement in the FCS competition and storylines. That sentiment is dwindling year after year.Quote:

Albany had some nice players, maybe even a few future NFLers,
but they weren’t that team.
Did the country dealing with covid affect the scheduling?
Were teams reluctant to travel to Fargo?
One cupcake on the schedule is normal, but 3 games that were not close……
If you had to have such an easy non-con, at least this was the fall season right after the covid spring so the players get a break.
At least next year has Arizona on the schedule.
Although Northern Arizona took some of the mystery out of that match-up.
North Carolina A & T adds a new name.
2023 is Eastern Washington @ Twin Cities, Maine and Central Arkansas.
24 is Colorado (hope they improve by then) East Tennessee and Towson
NDSU hasn't played in a BIG game since Iowa 2016 to be honest.
2019 NC was fun as hell, but when it was the 8th time winning, I doubt I would go again should they make it, been there did that 8 times, at least bowl games are scattered in different locals, switch things up a bitQuote:

Too bad for Chapo - he missed some really good Bison games since Iowa.
Well, at least he has the Gophers, who provide him with everything
he needs, well, except for that pesky ban over at Gopherhole.
And the Gophers never disappoint……wait, what???
We haven't had a lot of big games since Iowa, three of them involve JMU though who might not be around much longer. FCS football is becoming overly regional, it is slowly turning into the D2 of old. Teams keep leaving and nobody is left to fill the gaps. Our admin's priority needs to be getting us up to the FBS.
I don't really even care if regionally we fit in the FCS, our regional rivals are all basketball or hockey schools for the most part. They aren't really our peers when it comes to football.
FCS is getting bad, a DIII school was allowed to jump up, a full conference with an Autobid that isn't scholarship, we spend more on a Semi to haul gear than some teams spend on their facilities...sadQuote:
