Burgunday, I repect your opinion on this, but I disagree. Some of us do not live in Fargo and it is hard for me to juggle work, family, and other responsbilities and make it to every game. Further, the internet option stinks (and I use it all the time); if they could get it up to TV quality, I will promise to shut up, but it still would not be as good for exposure as TV. (Unless TV dies and everything becomes internet based? I have heard those who feel this way....)
Many of us cannot watch games on statewide NBC, and now, in this case, FCS. It is not on standard packages, and is not available from all companies. We have every right to complain and I plan on not drinking the NDSU everything is great cool-aide until they have a way for those of us outside of the FM area to easily see games in a high quality fashion. Pipe dream? Maybe, but being satisifed with mediocrity makes you mediocre.
They need to pick up the phone, schedule a meeting with FSN north, and get 4-5 games in FSN a year.
granted FSN has Wild, Timberwolves & Gopher Hockey as their top 3 priorities, but if it means switching a game to 11Am on a saturday or Friday night, FSN is far and away the way to go to INCREASE NDSU exposure in the upper midwest and attract those area recruits.
FCS will give more people around the country access (like me) but I agree, FSN would probably be the better option because it would reach more people more easily in the primary target areas. I get FSN on my sports package with AT&T Uverse but sometimes the channel I get shows the same stuff as all the other FS Network channels so I don't know if I would get to see it.
Wow, did not know you were so literal! (Is there a point you are trying to make that just went over my head, or did you not understand the point I was making to move game times if needed? I even think home game times should be moved to get on TV, but have been crushed on this board whenever I mention that....)
I think someone should bend the new presidents ear about the DII coverage NDSU gets and how there is so much room for improvement. Might not be a top priority, but at least this guy is new, was part of a bigger school and is likely not a small thinker like most locals tend to be.

It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.
