    I thought we only do a home and home with DI teams?

    But you can also say the same for Weber State so....

    I see UN_ as an easy game to schedule and a guarantee of no buyout. If GT thinks we can fill the schedule easy enough with other teams then by all means let's keep doing it. I'm just getting anxious when we are taking until Feb or later to fill our schedule.

    There are no strings attached to playing Weber. It is a home and home and who knows if we ever play them again. Once you start the rivalry back up it might be difficult to stop it again.

    I also believe 2015 is an 11 game schedule only year. If we play UND we will have no FBS game, recruits love the FBS games. None of them care if we play UND.

    But if we play an FBS we will only have 5 home games.

    I realize that but FBS games are so valuable, big for recruiting and exposure.

    Yep, I am very curious to see what Gene decides to do or if his hand will be forced by no FBS in our footprint having interest or openings

    Make it a close to home FBS game and I'm happy. By close I mean within 12 hours driving distance. Screw UN_. No reason to help them and as some have already stated, there is no benefit for NDSU other than to make you happy that the schedule is done sooner. Gene has done a great job of filling the schedule despite all the setbacks and obstacles to overcome being tops in all the land. Quit putting your selfish wants/desires ahead of the program and start thinking what is actually best for the program.

    I am so sick of the Bison already. Win this, win that, blah, blah, blah. I'd really, really like to know how they do it. I swear they have to be the luckiest sob's on the planet. Just sick of this bs, just fed up.

    Maybe the same could be said about yourself? I mean it's an FCS non conference team 70 miles away. Maybe an every other year game with them would be a plus for scheduling purposes.

    Which FBS team did you have in mind?

Or better yet ink a 2 for 1 and they can come back again in 2019, then we'll see how it all pans out whether we continue or not. Let's just do it and get it over with now.

    Who's with me?
    No. No. And Hell NO. What don't you understand about Roger Thomas saying UN_ was done playing us???
