For some reason, I'm still hopeful. Maybe wishful thinking, IDK.

Sean is the last guy from Jamestown to play at NDSU. I think Tim Fletcher went the same year but transferred back home after a year or so.

Personally I’ll have a hard time believing a move is going to happen until our worthless lazy assed AD gets replaced .

Agree that I think Matt is actually probably doing more than he says he is. I mentioned this before, but I’ve heard the local Forum writers say that he has people who are in contact with the right people but he isn’t “personally” in contact so he can maintain propriety with the MVFC. That seems totally reasonable and makes sense to me.

My earlier post is more to your final point, that it matters more what G5 conferences are doing than what Matt is doing. I’ll believe it when I hear it from either Matt or a conference official, but until then, it will remain speculation.

Yeah I’m not a big fan of Matt either, fwiw. He had big shoes to fill, though…

He's a local columnist for the Fargo Forum. He's had a dream of NDSU to FBS for a long time and keeps tabs on what is going on in the realignment game. His articles are often tongue and cheek and this one is no different.

On one hand he wants the MWC (or MAC for that matter) to see what we have going on at NDSU but on the other hand he knows that his article will make no difference and he's writing it for clicks and discussion.

If you're free at 7pm central on saturday flip on over to ESPN2 and watch the Bison and Jacks. I'm sure you'll be entertained by what you see and it might give you a feel for what the schools can bring to the table (regarldess of the outcome of the game).
