    To answer the threads question....

    Simple, people would rather see you play against EWU than Microsoft Word.

    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.

    Actually it kind of helped EWU when you think about it. I guess there loss is a better loss? So is JSU's? I can't wait till playoffs.

    Are you sure? Looks like the committee would rather see you get a 50 point win against Microsoft Word than a 6 point win against EWU

    how about expanding a recruiting footprint? how about presenting the players with a challenge every week so they stay mentally tough.

    it's hard to believe that ndsu is at a point where some outside entity has the potential to affect the way we do things. schedule whoever the f*ck has the balls to play in fargo and then get curb stomped at home when we play the next game. hell if i was larson i'd be have a short list of about 15 teams in the fcs id be considering for ooc games...and i'll tell you this - f*cking butler and the delta devils wouldn't be on it.
    This is not 'Nam. This is Bisonville. There are rules here.

    Other than playing FBS games when we can get them there isn't much point to playing a tough non-conference schedule.The MVFC does a good enough job getting the team ready for the playoffs.
