If Matt Larson went 3 straight years without making Frisco, he would be run out of town. Matt has 5 Natty's. (6 technically but I don't count his first year)
IIRC, the 2010 playoff games , Montana State and EWU, were played on ice coated, frozen, and/or snowy field conditions. Prudence would dictate that the team had better practice on similar conditions if they had any hopes of winning the games.

The Shac was already happening. and you cant claim that ML got beer at games as some sort of victory when they went kicking and screaming the whole way and got it done decades after our peers. lol. Youre acting like ML is a pioneer in the beer at football games arena, when NDSU is the definition of a late-adopter in the space.
Matt started at NDSU in the fall of 2014.
The SHAC project was already under construction, but they were still around $8 million short when they started.
Since then:
Complete new facilities for softball.
Complete new facilities for outdoor track.
Cost of Attendance was funded for all sports.
The IPF. $50 million was raised for this facility. None was in the bank in 2014.
The endowments for scholarships and athletic programs have grown by over $50 million.
To say Matt hasn't accomplished anything is crazy.

The lines look crooked on TV already.
Re: 2022 FargoDome Turf Replacement
It's not the TV. Definitely sagging to the south.

Again, all of those things were clearly in the cards when he signed his contract. Thats my point, youre pretending like no one had ever heard of facility improvements before he walked in the door. he landed the plane, yes, but the previous crew built the plane from scratch, flew the first 18 hrs of the journey, booked the hotel and meal after they landed, so yes, props to ML for not crashing the plan into the ocean, which is the absolute bare minimum expectation for any pilot with a pulse.

Dude. Larson brought in the money and executed on all those projects. Just because he hasn't moved us to the FCS doesn't mean his accomplishments as AD should be overlooked.
