I was just gonna say. He should direct his social-media activism squarely at Burgum and Hagerott. Let us know how that goes, Lakes, maybe in the smack thread?
Please stop bringing it up. It’s old and at some point it starts to have a negative impact, even though you don't intend it to.
Hey don’t expect him to work he is a pointerQuote:

Football - Top of the FCS clearly dont belong in FCS.
Basketball - mired in a low level mid major in a 1 big league, where at best case your a #13-14 seed
Softball - Top of the summit league, dominant every year to NCAA & get knocked out 0-2 games most years
Track/Field - Clearly Top of summit league, dominant every year. does fairly well in NCAA's individually.
VolleyBall - average in summit league, made ncaa's 2 times in 11 years bounced 1st game
Baseball - average in summit, made ncaa's 1 time in 11 years
Wrestling - Plays in BIG 12, average program.
Womens Basketball - nonexistant 11 years.
So if you look at that. a FBS move would greatly improve ALL these programs, PERIOD
Football/Softball/Track would really succeed moving up, as they are all at the TOP of their league dominantly
Basketball & Volleyball & Baseball would Instantly improve dramatically
Never fly solo.
Shoot. $650k. I wonder if Matt tried to get this slot.

NDSU at MIAMI. dayyyyyum. I wish
We'd clobber Miami. Unfortunately, for as long as we remain in FCS, we'll only be able to imagine how the game might go rather than actually play such a game. I know, I know..."but Oregon." One FBS game in 3 years doesn't cut it for me.Quote:

Reason #2893742 NDSU should be FBS
So Jabril and James Cox spoke one day in November, just a casual conversation the father didn’t even know stuck with his son until far down the line.
“If you win this, you’ve done a lot at North Dakota State,” James told him. “You’re gonna graduate in May. You need to probably up your game a little bit.”
WHAT ELSE IS THERE TO DO AT NDSU?? a common theme
Maybe one of his goals should have been to play a entire year without a missing any games due to injury.Quote:

You can't help but thinking what if. WHAT IF we were in the mountain west, we could get these games and many other bigger games.
waiting 4 years for 1 is a joke right now.
then 2 years for CU and 2 more years for Zona (2 programs that are extremely beatable)
Hate that we are just wasting our prime in the FCS.
and it begins.. a new year of losing recruits because NDSU isn't FBS
Nasir Washington (NDSU 2021 Offer) commits to Miami of Ohio.
Over the last 3 years of NFL DRAFT here are the numbers for FCS: 2018- 19; 2019- 13; 2020- 6. 3-year D2 results- 2018-4; 2019- 5; 2020-2.
Since 1991, Nevada, Marshall, Middle Tenn St, Lafayette, Monroe, App St, Ga Sou, Texas St, Coastal Carolina, Georgia St, Charlotte, UMASS, Boise St, UCF, Liberty, Old Dominion, FIU, FAU, UCONN, North Texas, WKU, Arkansas St have moved up from I-AA or started team and moved up.
More proof NDSU needs to move and not stand still
That’s almost two conferences worth of teams gone.

You might as well put this thought on the back burner for a couple of years.
Economic impact of virus on state budget. Economic impact of oil prices on state budget. Economic impact of commodity prices on state budget. Who knows what kind of impact the virus will have on enrollment and the NDSU budget? And the killer, if there is no football season this year!
All good points. Right now I would say there are States and Universities who will are hell bent on staying locked down until there is 100% certainty if no further infections. And, they are hate sports.Quote:

The typical FBS fan probably can't name the mascot for more than a few of those teams, but they can pronounce Bizon correctly. :)

I see a local FBS guy got in there.
NDSU 3 FBS games scheduled 2017-2024 other 3 dakota's 7-8 FBS games each.
yet another reason, we can't even get them to play us!
Watching the Trey Lance Article and subsequent replies on twitter/gopherhole/kfan facebook sites............ makes you realize that NDSU needs to go FBS already.
sick of it, NDSU is in its PRIME the last few years, if we were FBS this year Jabril Cox stays and we get a TOP 25 ranking. You can't convince me we wouldnt, especially if we had 3 dam 1st rounders on our team.
Always hard to speculate.Quote:
