A new and better FBS thread

sometimes you just show how stupid you are.

NO its called 163-13 or whatever the fuck we are! WE ARE GONNA WIN IT ALL WITH OUR 2nd TEAM!

So we should give up on our dreams of a bullet train to a stadium in Hillsboro shared with UND to a new megadome in Sisseton shared with SDSU?

Weber didn't break 4500 (4495). That would fit comfortably into the SHAC or Scheels Arena.

I can Say the same thing about UMARY football players. If that’s your selling point good luck. The empty seats twitter page post for that one is classic too. Such a good follow during the early bowl season.

What's the "win a bowl game" clause worth in his contract? Know that and know his happiness.

My parents are snowbirds in Arizona, and they aren't going. You are wrong.

Did you try sticking your head up your ass to get the full perspective? He's the only guy who has to go down to get anywhere. He needs to first head down out of his ass to go north eh.

To do it right you need to jump into the FBS movement with the same zeal as a Japanese soldier from WW2. If you aren't to crash your bomb laden Zero into the USS FCS, you aren't of the proper mind set.

The allotment is probably something like 4K-5K which would be something like 1/3 of the season tickets getting a seat if everyone requested all of their seats.

What’s funny (odd?) is that Mr. FBS/Chapo didn’t even attend the one FBS game (AZ) that we have played in the last 8-9 years, yet here his is.

Also, sounding like the FCS Chipper game will have more fans in seats than 50% of the FBS bowl games.

True, but we also likely bought up most of the 9k pre-sale seats, so it's closer to 13-14k overall. We got 4 in the presale, and wish we'd bought 8.

last year was the worst ndsu fanbase i've ever seen in frisco, it was old and boring.

I'm not sure what's more amazing, the fact that he keeps at it, or the fact that you boomers keep responding to him, thinking that you're somehow going to change his mind :)

I know. I ignore 90% of what he says because it's idiotic or useless. Kind of like that coach who screams for holding on every play (sometimes before the ball is snapped). Don't you have a job to do? It gets to a point that nothing he will ever say is worth listening to even if it makes sense. I know idiots/trolls like him exist on every forum, and they do generate chatter. But to me they make it very annoying to try to read forums. I do it a lot less these days.

LOL at yelling for holding before the ball is snapped. I'll bet officials hear some funny and colorful things from coaches.

I think El Chapo wants to start a euthanasia program for older Bison fans. Just like Hurling Day in the Dinosaurs tv show back in the day!

(The fact I remember Dinosaurs probably suggests I am on his list.)

For the millionth time just put him on ignore...

Stop responding to him, you're the ones feeding his need to make the conversation about him.

One of my favorites from early in my career. I'm the line judge on the home team sideline. DB gets burned bad on a long TD pass. Conversation when he gets back to the sideline.

Coach: What happened?
Player: It was an option, so I came up to cover the option.
Coach: Pass is one of his options!!

Another one told us before the game he was going to run a fake punt where the kicker is going to throw a high pass to one of the gunners, so one of the defenders gets a DPI by blocking the gunner (not a foul in NCAA...this was HS). He walks over before a punt and tells me they were going to do it on that play. The pass is overthrown and incomplete, but the gunner/receiver also beats the defender. No foul. The coach goes nuts because we don't have a flag. Uh coach, DPI does require contact. Your gunner beat the defender, so he didn't have a chance to make contact.

Most coaches are great, and most conversations are fun. It helps as an official to anticipate what they need (i.e. time out when the play clock is expiring or when you are down at the 5) and be open to conversations.

It will be interesting to see the ratio of fans as I'm sure both fanbases are buying on the secondary market.

I will never put you on ignore. You have very weird flights of fancy but you keep the conversation going.

I grew up in Jamestown, ND, home to the state mental hospital. Those that voluntarily checked in were free to come and go as they please, and certain "regulars" were well known about town. Very interesting at times and mostly completely harmless, but my parents still told me to stay away.

Won't threadjack, but if there's interest I can start a new one with some of the stories from the patients. It won't be PC.

Their "decent" is better than our "best". From a TV coverage, competition, etc. standpoint.

I would 100x over rather win the MW championship game than the FCS at this point. And I live in Frisco...

---

I wonder what the FCS national championship viewership numbers would be if ESPN made any effort to market it. Just redirect 5% of the FBS national championship ads during the preceding week with some compelling commercials and I'll bet they would double viewership.

Let me try to bring a fresh angle on the FBS discussion. In the future, I think that TV revenue will be connected to digital subscriptions. I think this could be good for NDSU (and probably not good for UNI), as I think you have a strong base that will pay to watch (especially if they are paying less for cable). But the big thing that you have going for you is that others (myself for example) are interested in watching you. If you went FBS, I could see you guys getting some good competition for non-conference games. That would drive interest from the competition fan bases, as well as national interest. Unless you tanked after becoming FBS, I could see you getting a lot of selections from fans who want Top 25 + their conference + a few other teams of interest.

In the past, I taught school in Buchanan, ND, but lived in Jamestown. I had a friend who worked at the "hospital". He told me that the only way to tell the difference between those who were residents and those who were employees was that the employees had keys.

I think the new thread w/stories is an absolute must. Can't wait to hear about the ones with CAS.

They say the people you see going in and out of San Haven are actually ghosts eh. Stay away from teh elevator shaft eh.

Oh yeah and Disney plus is losing money eh so I wouldn't put too much into cypanths future revenue stream eh. Although I am paying for nfhs and enjoying it until we play in rugby eh. Rugby ain't got that figured out eh. Hopefully they'll get there soon eh.
