NDSU Athletics: oderint dum metuant
IMHO, SDSU will win both the GaSouthern, and Cal Poly games this year. Likewise, I see Jacks at either 7-1, or 6-2 in the conference.
Given how the SDSU/NDSU games have gone, IMHO, Jacks are returning more talent than the Bison, so should be favored at CAS.
I hope SDSU is great this year. I would love it if they could fill their side of the stadium at "CAS." If it isn't some form of a hunting opener, that should help.
Sounds like coach Stig has an issue with NDSU "buying wins" or at least one of their posters said he did.
NDSU to the FBS always. In all ways.
The goal is to make the playoffs. Period. And you need 8 DI wins to do it coming from the MVC.
I have no problem with scheduling a "gimme" at home each year, especially when playing a FBS road game that same season. You don't get "feel good" or "at least we scheduled the best teams" points for playing a murder schedule and not making the playoffs. Stig is just chapped because SDSU can't afford to buy home games like NDSU, Montana, etc.
You put the smiley in, but actually you might be right! Pheasant opener is notoriously bad. It sickens me, but that is how it works I guess. Maybe because its the Dakota Marker game some of those hunters will get on the road after they kill their pheasants and get to CAS. It is a 6PM start. I will be there for my first Dakota Marker game since 2006, so I am excited.
Scrupulous hunters should bag their limit by about 9:00 AM if not sooner, judging by how many pheasants I saw last weekend.
