12 games next season?

[marenlee]

I'm in Bison Hell (south Georgia), so I get slim picking on NDSU news. Has there been talk about adding another game to next season since the NCAA is allowing 12 regular season games for the FCS? The Bison have two bye weeks next season on Sep 14 and Nov 2. Or are they happy with the 11 game schedule next season? I believe it's finalized? I would be surprised if this wasn't already talked about, but I'm new

I haven't seen this discussion. It's worth a thread. Thanks

Jeezus, you're kidding right?

Well, there's been a discussion, sort of... now, an intelligent discussion, that might be a different matter.

Nope...just haven't been paying that much attention apparently. God...forgive me...for I have committed a bisonville sin...

...not.

NDSU's AD, Gene Taylor, was quoted as saying that he "is actively looking for a 12th game." That's pretty much it other than he said he doesn't want it to be an FBS game.

Why not? There are plenty of shitty FBS schools we can beat for easy money. I'm sure we could find a sucker fairly easily. I would rather play a bad/mediocre FBS team than have a terrible FCS team come to the dome.

People remember we start the season @K-State, vs Montana State, Bye week, vs Western Carolina, @SDSU, vs UNI.

There is a zero percent chance we'll cram a second FBS in there. Expect our 12th game to be a big fluffy cupcake.

I would agree but I think the goal is to fill the dome for a game. This includes a full tailgating lot with many people from a ways off who oft rent hotels, eat out, shop, sit in saloons and generally liven things up in the metro area. I suppose there is a little TV money added in too. Just a thought.

I'm sincerely glad that K-State will be breaking in a new quarterback. Our biggest challenge since moving to DI...obviously.
