No disagreement there that the legislature and students don't care about NDSU football. That's kind of my point.Quote:

Conversation has already been had. We are happy where we are until the landscape changes. Gene Taylor President B and Matt Larson have all said that. If you have questions in this regard direct them to the powers that be. You wont get the answers you seek here.Quote:

I was also having fun with that comment and said that even if they didn’t have the meeting we wouldn’t know about it so it was all for not and I would just be happy with the Oregon win. Lighten up a bit please. Not everyone is serious about things that they post.Quote:

Why would you think it would be a “super secret”meeting. The same people you all are talking about have stated publicly what the current landscape/NDSU position is, and NDSU certainly didn’t keep the FCS move “secret”Quote:

I have stated this publicly many many times.
Dean & Matt have NEVER picked up a phone to call a Commissioner of MWC or MAC or AAC.
They have NEVER even set an email to even test the waters or Solicit an invitation or inquire about an invitation.
Period, and that's the problem.
That’s just me being dumb. Other than what my feelings of NDSU actually belonging, in my mind, in the FBS if we were to win the Oregon game (on field product only with very obvious hurdles.) My whole comment was making fun of this whole thread and the month long FBS topic as of late.Quote:

I am an FBS person yes but more of a (FBS Dreamer) than a move up now at all cost person but to be honest this whole FBS subject has really put a black eye on Bisonville as of late. Christ you could put the fatigue thread in there too. It’s all so depressing. One side makes comments about beating the sisters of the poor and complaining about scheduling a pud team like Towson while the other is just happy that NDSU is still great at football. There is no even ground anywhere unless it’s on a basketball thread, which seems odd.
The FBS topic has been so over played since we beat ISUR. For the most part I’m just ready for the remainder of the playoffs and recruiting season while looking at the calendar at the Sep 5 Oregon game because I do plan to be there.
Maybe if Bisonville invented an athletic shoe... we could make the rubber treads in a waffle iron- for traction. Sign some athletes to wear them. Gain some traction for a few decades. Make a few billion a year and donate heavily to athletics and sports???
Or instead market a tequila you say??
Way ahead of you.
AC/DC West Lot 2020!! I got the text.
Big 12 invite announcement there? Likely yes via a more vaguely worded secret message type text, but pretty sure it’s a done deal.

Sam, they probably have not contacted any of those conferences as
they probably know a little more than you do as to what are the costs
involved in a move. They don't have their head up their asses like you do.
How many $100 members like you will it take for the move. Get real.
Looking forward to running into you.
see ya at Lucky 13's!Quote:

Complacency is rearing it's ugly head.
I'm sure they speak to their colleagues at conferences and events.Quote:

Why would they contact anyone. None of those conferences fit. Any
move is not worth the increase costs of travel, scholarships for men and women
and increase costs for coaches salaries. We had our annual TM meeting last night.
Increase the budget to 6.4 million. Enrollment down, costs going up. We're
getting pretty tapped out. I have a good seat on the 35. $1,500 plus
the cost of the tickets. $1,800.
Maybe you should jump on the St Thomas bandwagon... they seem to have that "onward and upward" attitude that you so desperately need.Quote:

I'm talking epic meltdown - broken keyboards, soiled undershorts, swearing tirades that would make truck drivers (and Hailbison) blush, constant hunger strikes (except for a small smattering of Cheetos here and there, of course), continued tailgating but not enjoying it, cutting myself with dull knives, running with scissors faster than I normally do, and growing my fingernails AND toenails out to gargantuan size.
I apologize for nothing.
So, I ask you ……... who has proven to have more clout with these people in getting what they want ….. me or Chapo?
NDSU is 125 - 8 7 Titles in 8 years,
The public has caught on, that's why there is 2000-3000 empty seats last game and this game.
Are you seriously thinking about 200-12 and 14 titles in 15 years? whats the point.
As unorthodox and wearing on everyone as they may be, I stand behind my guerilla-like, take-no-prisoner tactics.Quote:

I further pledge that I will continue to do whatever it takes to keep NDSU in the FCS until the BIG-12 naturally comes for us. So get used to it, Bisonville.
If Tony wants to ban hammer me off of this site for being so brutally honest and truthful, then that's his misguided prerogative. But such actions will definitely not hurt me until he actually does it, so there.
Resistance is futile. Your mind is no longer your own.
i think on this thread only, its ok to fight like dogs about this. the other threads being taken over just happens i guess, i dunno.
I'd rather fight like a cat. Like the king of the jungle. Roar!!!!Quote:

This thread makes my eyes and head hurt every time I come look at it.
I think it's interesting that depending on the day, both low and high game attendance can be used as reasons to move to FBS.
solid point, plus on inforum live chat mcfooly said somethng like "no way ndsu goes FBS" then some 1 said "Oh Mike, arent you to same guy that poo pooed the NDSU to D1 move?"Quote:
