Come on! Would I twist what you said in order to support my argument? ;)

For the record, you did say "some losses . . . so be it." Last time I checked, more losses means fewer wins.

You may not "want" more losses, but you (and others) seem willing to accept a few more losses in order to have better competition in FBS. That may be a costly wish.

P.S. Maybe you could get something started with Charlotte. Years ago, I was at a conference in Charlotte and went to a nearby sports bar that had a big NDSU flag prominently displayed. I think it was called Jocks and Jills. Perhaps the Bison fanbase in Charlotte is strong enough to have a presence at games in Charlotte that could lead to a new rivalry.

Nobody is wishing for less wins. It's just the reality. Right now MVFC road games at 1/3 of the conference have a few thousand fans in the stands. The AAC bad crowds will be way bigger and a challenge. Big difference between 2K fans and 25K

Does anyone else find it contradictory that one of the reasons many people love to watch sporting events is because no one knows what the outcome is going to be. But then after the fact so many of those same people treat the outcome as definitive proof of the superiority of one team over the other.

We basically never lose at home outside of SDSU. Since 2011, we've never lost a non conference home game. I can't even remember the last non conference home loss. We've lost 1 home playoff game out of nearly 40. We've lost 6 home games in 12 years, half to SDSU and all were 1 scores losses. The 3 losses included Carson Wentz playing a full game with a broken hand, a game we nearly won despite throwing 3 pick sixes, and a last second field goal. When you have more national championships than home losses, That is what I call boring. Nobody wants to watch games that are over at half time.

Whatever conference you join will take awhile to develop rivalries but they do come eventually.
