this deserves its own thread.
this along with the mwcconnection.com piece last week should really help NDSU with the MWC invite
Boise State media/fans on board rooting for NDSU to join is very significant and should make BisoNation smile!!
Thank you Broncos!! your program is a copy of NDSU and we respect your hard nosed style of play!!

Boise State wants NDSU. then NDSU will get in. I've talked to a couple boosters.. let's hope this moves fast!!
Holy shit for embarrassing. This just keeps getting better and better.
Just wait until he takes credit for ANY actual movement to FBS.Quote:

If he starts 25 FBS threads again, that will make it happen, right?Quote:

The tv deal can be reopened if schools leave and it might well happen. However, the MW will still have PST and MST times slots so the deal is likely to remain intact, as is, until the summer or 2026.
Is that author more or less credible than McFeely?
McFeely has on the record interviews with people in authority at NDSU. That's journalism.Quote:

I remember a time when newspapers had a separate Opinion page and it was clearly marked as such.
I mean the guy’s essentially the Kolpack of Boise State, right? Would that be the oversimplified way to explain his role and his newspapers role in Boise?
I guess it would help to have a ....quote...from someone lolQuote:

The article quite obviously doesn’t prove or mean anything will happen, but it is written by someone who is very connected in the MW. I remember a time not so long ago that one member of the FCS forever dynamic duo was asking for an article written by someone in the mountain West mentioning NDSU. Is this a bingo or did we move the goalposts on this too?
The guy not only wrote the article he’s defending his opinion against “random guys on the internet” on his Twitter account
Seems to be an ex high school beat writer in Virginia who graduated from James Madison.Quote:

Makes me hate James Madison a little less. Any press like this is good, but not sure it proves there is Boise institutional support yet. Just a guy who believes in us, and wants to see us in the MWC. The press can't hurt though.
damn you get mad. have a fucking beer. enjoy the summer. it's entertainment.Quote:

Where there's smoke there's fire.
once again. I wish NDSU admin and all of you haters UNDERSTAND THAT .... THE HIGHEST RANKED G5 CONFERENCE GETS AN AUTOBID TO THE CFPlayoffs!!!
that is HUGE. MWC for example should WANT the BEST TEAM AVAILABLE to assist with that.
NDSU. period.
When NDSU gets this and we WIN THE MWC & GET THE AUTOBID..... AND ITS #12 NDSU vs #5 Michigan in Las Vegas in 1st round of CFP in 2027.....
I will personally walk up to each of you at the game and grab the beer out of your hand slam it and say TOLD YA SOOOO
Can you reach that high?Quote:
