Better move to the next higher conference then.Quote:

Whats the point in moving to that pud conference? You said we would win it every year. Even if we did there would be no playoff available to us. Yeah that would be a great move. We have to do whats best for NDSU.Quote:

Looks like he boxed himself in. Now lets wait and see the spin to get out.Quote:

When the old Big East was going through their period of losing their teams, there was talks of making the buyout be $15 million. Not exactly chump change to NDSU's athletic department.

So you already have us in MAC then getting MWC bid already? You are moving faster than me, bravo welcome aboard the pro FBS crowd!
Boxed me in with his own personal opinion? All he said was that he "guarantees" that the same people calling for the move up now will be the same ones wanting to move up. I see potential in the MAC. and they're a level up above where NDSU is.Quote:

also, my personal opinion is the MVFC is crap outside of NDSU, nobody has done anything in this conference in 20 years. It'd be below the Big Sky if NDSU wasn't in it. Far below it. Let that sink in.
Not talking about you.Quote:

Same can be said about the MAC. They also have done nothing. The one time they were given a shot to show what they can do, Northerm Illinois got embarrassed and if it wasn't for a bailout from the conference, they would've lost money on that game.

Toledo going up 27-20 !
BP4eva With our crappy fargodome capped at 20,000 the Mac is the only viable option really.
Let's build a 35,000-40000 stadium and petition the mountain west or big 12!

Northern Illinois on their Senior day had a whopping 8400 fans show up to watch one of the winningest programs in all of college football the last 4-5 years.

FBS games on the schedule generate the most hype. Whether its national media heads who write way more articles on the damned Iowa State win over playoff wins and national championships, perspective from big time school fanbases, coaches & players.. or whatever.
Yea it's cute for the small time folk who get all of their jollies from it, but please, don't spew that crap on in this thread because you have that problem.
Do you think 30,000 fans would attend an outdoor Bison game at the new El Chapo field on a Wednesday night with temperatures in the teens?

NDSU has no FBS teams next year to play which is a precursor to us becoming complacent , it's a joke
I've always been pro FBS. But I want to make sure the school does their due diligence first and not leave the program screwed like others that have moved up.Quote:

Is that a tarp?
there was probably 5,000 total. and the two bands took up a section each. Why the hell does Frisco cross their fingers now hoping NDSU makes it? How funny is that? NDSU deserves more/better
Get on it!!! Make it happen!!!!!!!!Quote:
