Yes Liberty looks good too.
I truly believe if NDSU went FBS tomorrow
We'd grab the top 4-5 guys at sdsu usd uni und and be even more stacked .. plus you'd do the same in recruiting AND you'd go after 3 & 4 Star kids more often. right now we don't even approach a 3 star.
Turf in the dome looks like how Matt's pudddding tastes.
Just look the other way and pretend it's ok.
If NDSU doesn’t go FBS- what impact is St. Thomas going to have on recruiting? Don’t think I am the only one who sees them as a real rival fairly soon
Exactly. Plus Coastal Carolina vs Georgia Southern getting lots of hype and CC is ranked!Quote:

FWIW, the short term stuff is cute and fun and all, but I want FBS for the long game. I’m 30 now, would love to have NDSU in serious conversations for P5 by the time my kids are in college 20 years from now.
Sports aside it would be the best thing for the university.
I have no idea where to post this but Husker - Badgers game cancelled.
Saw that earlier. Interesting that it’s canceled and not postponed. Was it supposed to be played at Camp Randall.Quote:

Per the BIG, there are no make up dates in the conference schedule and all cancelations are declared a ‘no contest’.Quote:

We got the Money.. FBS baby lets go!!
Reason #2397423947 to go FBS Klieman says what everyone knows: NDSU doesnt belong here
“When we were at North Dakota State, we were better than everybody on offense and defense,” Klieman said. “So why would we waste an opportunity on roughing a kid? Here, it’s much more competitive offensively and defensively. You may not have an advantage on some of those things, so you better find a way to have an advantage on a week in week out basis. So we collectively as a staff are going to put a lot more time into special teams than we think a lot of people are, because it has to be the edge.
“My previous place, we were favored by four and five touchdowns every time we played so you didn’t need to be as dominant on special teams.

The hospitality plaza on the stadium's west side and the scholarship were named to honor the community, and the plaza designed to "... celebrate the history, presence, and cultural contributions of all eleven Native American tribes in Minnesota".[82][83][84] The University received an additional $2 million from the SMSC for construction of the plaza in 2009.[85]
Oh man how bad would it forever piss off UN_ rubes if NDSU got something like this from the Native American tribes of ND. Just the thought of it makes me smile.Quote:
