We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie

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.

I just pulled some interesting stats from Massey's archives for a thread on AGS and figured I'd share them here too.
I got this bit from CAS here a couple years ago: Interesting tidbit that could likely be verified if you spoke to either individual, but Erk Russell was reported to have had a conversation with Rocky Hager (then Bison coach) sometime in the late 80s or early 90s in which he said that he felt the DII Bison would have given those championship Georgia Southern teams of that era everything they could handle.
Readily admitting the limitations of computer models -- especially across divisions -- this is still interesting: Massey concurs with Erk Russell, indicating that NDSU held a slight edge in both '86 and '90, which were championship years for both programs in their respective divisions.
Per Massey archives, here's a decade's worth of NDSU's odds of beating Georgia Southern on a neutral field at the end of each respective year:
1983 - 93% (NDSU vs DIAA Champ SIU - 25%)
1984 - 73% (NDSU vs DIAA Champ MT St - 34%)
1985 - 43%
1986 - 57%
1987 - 32% (NDSU vs DIAA Champ NE LA - 14%)
1988 - 35% (NDSU vs DIAA Champ Furman - 31%)
1989 - 6%
1990 - 53%
1991 - 15% (NDSU vs DIAA Champ Youngstown - 21%)
1992 - 65% (NDSU vs DIAA Champ Marshall - 33%)
Edited to add: Hard to say with any degree of certainty, but I think those teams from the 80s would have been competitive at the next level up. Especially with another 28 scholarships or whatever the difference was.

When is NDSU going to lose again? 2016? Undefeated is looking pretty good right especially since we are playing @ 80% on offense and still blowing teams away. IF NDSU fixes their problems on offense, no team will come within 17 points of them in their next 8 games.
