    That username represents over 2000 Bison alumni. Questions?
    The white jerseys are the best. Don't even bother to argue.

    It depends.

    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.

    Don't we have that cupcake team from up north on the schedule in the next year or two?
    It's OK to not be OK.

    You sure about this?

    Playing a tough non conference schedule gives NDSU no benefit. Proven today.

    Playing in a tough conference has no benefit regarding playoff seedlings either!..... Personally, I alway liked one cupcake OOC game. An easy win, gives younger first year starters a game to figure some thing out etc...one is plenty though.

    Matt Larson needs to get out of the EWU game next year and get a D2 in here. Would help both teams out. A tough OOC schedule is obviously useless.

    All depends on what the parameters are for any given year. Last year they were talking about good and bad losses. WTF?

    This year SOS has no bearing? Of course that may change by the end of the year when they get the memo that SOS can be considered. Obviously the FCS wingnuts still havent figured out how to do it right.

    When you play football, you gotta like the taste of blood, And 50 percent of the time, it's your blood.

    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.

    Except, unfortunately, they aren't a cupcake and they could beat us right now
