Her eyes flash the fire of hell and she proceeds to interject for a few minutes on a long rant about how NDSU is a joke, we STOLE the game, and then afterwards we played *their* victory song (In Heaven There Is No Beer) to troll them. Everyone else is from Texas, went to school at A&M or UT, have pretty much no idea what the hell she's on about lol. Biggest smile on my face the entire time. I wasn't there for the Montana fan protoplasm episode but I would say it was probably at least half as epic.

I apologized, told her that I didn't think we stole it, but I guess you could say we ran away with it with a wink. Thanked her school for inventing the song that we've been practicing for 30 years just unleash on their unsuspecting band, and told her if she's so upset she should take it up with her AD to see if he's man enough to schedule a rematch. I was sure he would understand, not like he would've come from some joke of a school after all.

Pretty much ended with her exclaiming how much she hates NDSU. Saltiest tears I've ever tasted firsthand. Too funny

This article says it all. Love the sub headline "Everything belongs to them now".

We need to bring back the "Bison once, Bison Twice..." cheer. Don't think that'll fly in today's world though.

Must have been very enjoyable for you. Hopefully she has come to terms with it by now.

To me though this begs the question: how in the world can a place with no beer be called “heaven”?

My theory: It's a big old wine and whisky bar up there.

JC didn't turn water into beer, after all - and for most people, it'd have been redundant.

At least we get to hear some Christmas songs during halftime at the semifinal games instead of the same songs they play every other week during the season.

That vid is awesome. Never seen it before—raw, which is the best.

Like the white jerseys and green pants. Put the Harvest helmets on and do Frisco that way this year!!

Pump it up!!

The whiskey is going down tonight and I’m feeling more FBS approval by the sip/drink. God damn it besides losing 60lbs all I want to happen after New Years in 2022 is THE ANNOUNCEMENT of NDSU headed to the FBS.


Mind you I’m a fairly solid 250 right now.

The gold star marching band has never been cool. It never will be. But this is solid and made me smile a bit.

CAS! Green pants blow. Peak Bison vibe was like 1995. Yellow pants. Snorty. That was a vibe.

Even the lame 80's pants were better than the green nonsense.

MVFC of the FBS.

Well the SEC is like 2-6 in Bowl games so I’m sure we’d be in the top 5 of the conference.

well according to 56 and others. it's fcs forever , so we don't have to worry about it

Basically everyone has agreed that if MWC came calling it’s go time. MAC is meh…revamped CUSA is a joke…unless complete irrelevance is the plan. That’s not FCS forever.

Have you guys considered the AAC? That seems like a pretty good fit for you. Lot's of CST schools at low elevation..Good weather too..

The AAC hasn't considered NDSU either.

How do you know this? I believe that all the mid major conferences do their homework on many potential members..I am thinking your school comes up all the time. I also suspect your school does its homework too..

This has been discussed too many times to count on our board. Because NDSU administration doesn't buy billboards touting conversations with conferences or post audio of any potential conversations with conferences online there are a number of fans who believe without a doubt hat NDSU has NEVER talked to ANYONE related to an FBS conference about moving up.

That is just one of the hundreds of horses that gets beat to death daily here.

hurry the fuck up with FBS.. we are just too good.

ps. Bobcats want to force ndsu to.fbs...I agree with them

Here's something for the FCS Forever! crowd to chew on. I like the part about the lower FCS schools being worse than the NSIC D2 teams. https://www.yahoo.com/news/zimmer-bi...161657436.html

The most likely biggest obstacle for a move to FBS is what a conference move does to the financial viability/stability of non-football sports at NDSU. We simply couldn't balance the budget in the MWC, CUSA, the MAC, etc. Additionally, in spite of what some here believe, no FBS conference wants or needs a football only member to join their club.

I am now of the opinion that we need to go independent in football and maintain our Summit alignment for other sports. After today's showing, it MUST be clear to the powers that be at the NCAA that we're just simply in the wrong football division. I would have to think that they would support a move to FBS Independent status for NDSU. Make it a 4 year plan, staying FCS for that time but negotiating a long term arrangement with a host of G5 teams to fill out a somewhat reliable regular schedule once we go. I would have to believe that JMU, Sam Houston, Appy, Liberty, CCU, Wofford, Georgia Southern, Colorado State, Boise State, Wyoming, San Diego State, and a few of the MAC schools would be amenable to some home-home agreements with a lean on getting them regularly. Then fill it out with 2 P5 away games and an FCS home game. Lots of hard work on scheduling but it would likely pay off to stimulate new interest in a new outdoor stadium to kinda round out the deal.

Ok, now do the bottom of the FBS against the FCS.

going fbs would be FANTASTIC for all sports, they could actually play bigger schools, bigger OOC home games and then recruiting wise you'd domia
nate this region outside of Minn/Wisc/Iowa

No, Larson has already shown his cards on his opinion on the matter.

This plan pleases me (or at least, pleases me more than FCS). See to it, NDSU.

It’s happening!!! I don’t exactly know what “IT” is but it’s definitely happening.
