Are we expecting anything significant yet? I sure wish DB would be leaking more on what is coming.
The article about how former FCS teams have fared was interesting.Quote:

Looks like the programs that were stinkers in FCS are still stinkers in FBS.Quote:

Seems like a pretty common sense conclusion that NDSU would fare well in FBS. Just need an invite.
we're like vampires bro
u have to invite us in
then we kill everything in ur house
Or have sex with everyone, depending on which show you watch.Quote:

From this McFeely Opinion Piece:
It's interesting that Mike considers North Dakota State and Marshall as peers. I get the others listed, but not a school NDSU has never faced or even shared a football division with since the late 1930's.Quote:

Ah, yes. That is a good point. When he says "like NDSU" it seemed to me that he was referring to all of those schools as peers to both, but I can see where it might be differently. But then, if those are Delaware's peers, then which of North Dakota State's peers have moved up? Seems like it would be pretty much the same teams. Quote:

But after all that he’s the only person in the FM press who even mentions FBS in front of our president or athletic director. So we roll with what we got lol.
Wikipedia lists all of the teams that were in the university and college divisions before the split into three divisions in 1973. What I found interesting was that the MVFC was in the university division and none of those teams are still in the conference.

what's wrong with that
I really don’t think there is a question whether we will dominate G5 FBS ………. Just a matter of if/when we get that invite!Quote:

Actually with the NEW G5 Playoff spot upcoming a CONFERENCE will want to have the BEST football teams in order to QUALIFY for said elusive spot!

Lastly Lakes refers to it as a dream because you'd have to be asleep to believe it's going to happen at this point.
I thought that if the Bison completely dominate the competition, that the fans would be bored and leave. Which is it?
If I was an FBS conference I would be asking "Sure these guys have a great following when the win the conference, what happens if they 6-5? It's easy to be a fan if your team is a championship team every year."Quote:

Reciprocal value. Interesting concept.
