Wtf are you whining to a bunch of rubes for since it's about government and politicians? We can't help that eastern north dakota is a hell of a lot better than western North dakota
Re: 2018 Schedule: FBS Team
Virginia Tech or ASU in the desert would be my picks.

I don't think DSU or Williston State are the campuses that people are talking about. It's probably VCSU, Mayville St, Bottineau and maybe Lake Region. Not an east/west thing.

how many students at mayville state has athletic scholarships/grants. ill hang up and listen

Actually, anything in western snowbird country would make a lot of sense..................Tempe, Tuscon, Las Vegas...............Reno?
I don't think anything in eastern snowbird land (Florida), or southern snowbird territory (Texas) would take the bait right now.

Weeklong September party in Vegas leading up to a game against UNLV!
Re: 2018 Schedule: FBS Team
Mayville need to be shuttered asap. Valley City should privatized like Jamestown and could probably pull it off, especially with assistance from the State. NDSCS needs to be renamed North Dakota Tech and turned into a 4 year college. Rename Williston State to North Dakota Tech-Williston and western kids can go there for Tech degrees and then feed into Wahp for the more advanced stuff, same with North Dakota Tech-Bottineau and North Dakota Tech-Bismarck. Lake Region is untouchable because of politics. Minot ST is fine but Dickinson State is a joke and I have no idea what to do there.

This has nothing to do about football.

Yah, I don't know............it's still kind of hot there in September...............and the twinkling lights keep me up at night.............and there are never enough nickel slots.............and the chances of being tempted into eternal damnation are very high.................and they always run out of prime rib at the buffet.............and then, to top it off, I'd probably end up baby-sitting and bailing-out BisonVet the whole freaking time there!
I'm just not sure it would be worth it.
