A new and better FBS thread

You cant pick ML soundbites you like, and ignore the ones you dont. He said both. I want someone to ask him to simply clarify.

Its wild that you think having the AD address a question about the changing landscape of the division is just too insane and inappropriate that it doesn't even merit a response. lol. Its not "mUh fBs!" to ask a question about the deterioration of the FCS and have ML comment if it concerns him or not.

I know you dont want to go FBS, and that's ok, but all of the endless pearl clutching at the idea that someone should ask a question to the man in charge is pretty ridiculous to me

Serious question here: since you seem so very passionate about this I would assume you have reached out to Matt directly right?

If so and receive no reply then you would have followed up with appeals to the various media outlets to push it yes? Have you done this? If not then why not give that a go?

When I first read this quickly, I thought it was streamer cams....maybe JMU can bring up that innovation.

Probably shouldn’t give them any ideas.

This turned out to be a single cam mounted on the bill of the umpires hat. Streamed to the control board in real time just like all the other wired cams.

Those views were really interesting I thought. I told Indy in another thread I just might be interested in watching a game with the only cams being on the officiating crew hats.

I have reached out to him, with no response. IDK what else I'm supposed to do? be active on twitter? Call into 1660 and ask for an answer from people who dont have the ability to give one? (I've done that 2 or 3 times).

Its just very frustrating to me that we have journalists in the room with him on a near weekly basis who are SAY theyre interested in this question every single week on their radio shows, and then magically forget the question exists when they have an ear from ML

Have Lakes call his grandma.

i aint going after some stony brook gma action!!

Mankato it's simple the AD is incompetent when it comes to FBS and Soliciting/Gladhanding/Schmoozing/Wining&Dining.

He is competent in other areas and I have no problems with that. but THATS WHY NO MEDIA ASK MATT OR DEAN ABOUT FBS !!!

Also Welcome to the cornfield everyone.

Just to be clear here are the ideas and actions that have been deemed to be "unacceptable" to our FCS4ever overlords:

1. If you notice that good programs are leaving FCS- straight to the cornfield
2. If you notice that FBS teams have better recruits- cornfield
3. If you show the financial reports indicating NDSU is already funding the program at an FBS level- again, cornfield
4. If you think the AD should be asked a question- cornfield
5. If you think NDSU has a higher competitive ceiling in FBS- you guessed it, cornfield
6. Were you supportive of the concept of yellow jerseys or green helmets before 2011? Probably a good sign that you are a horrible human being- off to the cornfield with you
7. Do you think there is a talent gap between Youngstown State and The university of Arizona or the University of Colorado? Believe it or not, cornfield.
8. Do you know the reality that FCS is not tier 2 of college football? Do I have to say it? Cornfield for you, and your children. It's their fault too
9. Have you ever realized that NDSU is already meeting the attendance requirement for FBS? Cornfiled forever. No one must speak of the attendance requirement. Repeat and believe that we need a new stadium. repeat and believe.
10. Are you not as excited to play in empty stadiums vs full stadiums? pfff.... straight to the F*cking cornfield with you, you a$$ hole.

More to follow.

Not only that but all the southern speed players in that game tonight are gettin paid. Like, really gettin paid.

That said, if NDSU were in the unmentionable position of requiring a new outdoor stadium there would be no game there tonight nor any other day until September.

We’re simultaneous worried about nobody showing up for a 2nd round game in the Fargodome and lobbying for a larger outdoor stadium? Cognitive dissonance.

Montana and Montana St both filled their outdoor stadiums last weekend. Put SDSU to shame.
If the Montana’s can do it we can too as long as the opponents are exciting!

Yes because A) Nov 22 would be the LAST DAY NDSU would play at home in FBS

B), NDSU vs Boise State on Saturday Night 7pm would bring 40 000 drunken insane ndsu fans!!

I wanted to give you some positive reputation for this post, but the site told me I have to spread reputation around before I can give you a good click again. I did try though.

A new analysis of North Dakota’s state-owned minerals is nearly $1 billion more than a similar estimate last year when the coronavirus created uncertainty and low prices and demand for oil declined.

$78 million for a Sanford indoor park..

if NDSU wanted a $250 million 45,000 seat enclosed stadium it could happen with a snap of the fingers

JMU fans chirping NDSU for staying "FCS FOREVER!!"

"I can’t wait until Cole Johnson and jmu sends every ndsu fan to the exits early next week .. better yet I hope Etsu beats you first !! Enjoy fcs forever !!"

For Reba McEntire duh.

won't be empty vs Boise State

Kinda odd that the same upper sideline seats in Frisco that sell for $99+fees in the FCS championship sell for $25+fees in the Frisco bowl games...

Not sure why that would be odd. The title game is a more meaningful game between better teams.

actually its the DEMAND by NDSU FANS that drove up the price DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

so if NDSU was in FBS NDSU would be getting BETTER BOWLS than other teams.


NDSU subsidizes the FCS lets face the facts.

No lies detected.

I'm a little ambivalent about getting 'overseeded' into meaningless bowl games though. It hasn't been a great look for Notre Dame, but I guess it would solve the 'fatigue' issue.

yea Audit I hear ya.

How pissed would we be if we won the CUSA and then it placed in the Frisco Bowl, I’d be pissed! Is this what we want for our future? Snubs?

Seems to be common enough. Gopher faithful none too enthused about their bowl slot either.

Unbelievable how the bowl committee could be so disrespectful to such a storied program. How dare they disrespect all of those national championships that the UofM EARNED back before people were wearing helmets and the forward pass was illegal. They were absolutely dominate against the high school teams that dared take the field against them.
