ISU 1st Game 2014 - then 3 weeks of Nonconference open dates.......?

Thoughts on the possibility of playing a MAC team on a 2 for 1. Could we possibly make this happen?

How many MAC teams would want to sign a contract knowing they will lose 3 "cupcake" games in 3 years

There is always a sucker who wants to show the Big Dog in the room they are up for the challenge. Plus to get the exposure for some of these other MAC teams as the Bison have drawn over the past 3 years is almost a tranquilizing. No one likes to be called a girl in football. This could work our way too in filling our schedule out. How about San Diego State, or Idaho State, or some other USA FBS team to come up and play us or we go there?
Lets hope GT has a couple of ideas up his sleeve for the 2014 team. Especially after we get the Trifecta in 7 days.

a D2 is more likely than a 2nd FBS

There is a better chance Craig Bohl is the head coach for NDSU next year then 2 FBS games. This is a good conversation as long as people understand that very simple statement.

If you want to discuss 2 FBS games you are living in a dream world with little understanding of what NDSU's scheduling philosophy is. So if you want to discuss things that will never happen, why stop there. Start a thread talking about Gruden being Klieman's DC (better chance of happening) or Steven Threet playing next year at NDSU (better chance of happening)
