My favorite storyline in football playoffs by far. If the team with the easy path or bye wins the big game, they were rested. If they lose, they were rusty. The story writes itself no matter what!...

My favorite storyline in football playoffs by far. If the team with the easy path or bye wins the big game, they were rested. If they lose, they were rusty. The story writes itself no matter what!...
Still enjoy the NFL, but man today gives me hope that the good western FCS schools will be able to keep the magic college alive when the major programs run off chasing NFL lite status.
I think still college, but could easily see giving up on it if my worse fears about NIL, transfer portal, and realignment all come true.
There is something to the parity of opportunity in the NFL...
So what you're saying is that the demographics of our fanbase has a gap that it didn't used to have. That is an enthusiasm drop no matter how we want to rationalize it.
Surely there were busy fans...
LOL crazy that no other teams have social media or NIL stuff. "This thing that is happening to everyone is only hurting me" is my favorite. Like my buddy who blames the rain we both played in if he...
This cuts a little too close to the bone
So...Boise and San Diego State potentially leaving the Mountain West is interesting.
CyPanth, thank you.
I think the only thing I really actually want to see out of this season is for the streak to continue.
LOL come on man. Coaches, remember these are football coaches not social justice professors, coaches all over the country were worried about this two season business. Let's just take it on faith that...
Two firmly held beliefs I hold which I cannot reconcile. 1-Wentz is to blame for most of his problems and we on b'ville tend to over-rate him 2-my god please make a Cousins trade happen and bring...
I think all of us will miss that, but even if NDSU never goes FBS that era of FCS is gone and we'll miss it.
Correct. This forum and this fanbase in general has always calculated that FCS 'ships are more valuable than the Cheez-It bowl or whatever. Which is a fair opinion to have. But we've also sort of...
As an alternative option, since we "play for championships" and are apparently not bored/embarrassed for beating up on clearly undermanned opposition perhaps we should compete at the High School...
He's not really calling a person a racist here, he's rightly pointing out that mediocre white QBs are more likely to have their mediocrity explained away than mediocre black QBs. Not near as true as...
At this point of the discussion I can't tell what is sarcasm and what is serious.
Were these hurdles not present for all of the other schools have recently made the jump? To torture your metaphor, hurdles are meant to be lept over they aren't meant to be a stop sign.
Yes and it isn't close once you step outside of our silo.
It's not obvious to me that that is worse than being the king of the FCS ashes.
It's rare to read such a lucid and well-thought out post on an internet forum, so thank you.
Anyway back to throwing shit at a wall to see if it sticks.
Feel like it's very relevant to this conversation that maybe he premier brand in MWC, Boise State, is reportedly interested in jumping ship from MWC to AAC.
Has the Rutgers move to the Big Ten been a disaster? It depends on what the goal was! For Rutgers it was in improvement in their financial situation. For the Big Ten it was continued media revenue...
I'm not sure I follow how this isn't an pro-FBS argument. I agree, we wouldn't want to be in a second-rate division that nobody nationally cares about. And this is why I want us to leave FCS. It has...
Yep. The excitement is down and the streak is so long for the same reason, and paradoxically our success on the streak actually at this point serves to delegitimize the streak itself because it...
I think that is based on the theory that even guys who are leaving home would occasionally like friends and family to be able to watch them. That's a line that's been told so many times that I...
Tend to agree. As much as we think of ND as "west" of the midwest and as much as I prefer the opponent roster in the MWC, MAC probably makes more sense for us.
Biggest risk in all of this, in my...
