Bison Fatigue

[bisonaudit]

This is the issue that some people are having with buying tickets from people and not NDSU directly: what if the game gets canceled? I know some people who bought tickets from people and the game got canceled and couldn't get any money back.

StubHub???

I've read about people having problems with concert refunds when they bought tickets through resellers.

So Far the #FcsForever crowd has offered these solutions to #BisonFatigue, which they also say does not exist:
1. Cancel the season- #TrustScienceExceptForScienceThatDisagreesWithMyPo liticalBeliefs

2. Do NOT Sell beer. under any circumstances- you must not, cannot sell beer in the dome. The end of civilization

3. Schedule Indiana State again. We need more #elite talent coming to the dome. Fans are ravenous for the top level of football, and that means more #elite teams and #elite programs like indiana state, western illinois, ISUr, SIU, Montana State , Montana, Cal Poly, Dayton, Central Connecticut state etc. We're talking BIG BOI COLLEGE FOOTBALL HERE. If we continue to schedule these teams that totally take football seriously, the dome will be #BleedingYellow once again. Just imagine how empty the dome would be if we scheduled teams like Colorado State, Air Force, Wyoming, Kansas, Boise State, Cinicinati, Hawaii, Gorgia southern, App state, Buffalo etc.. seriously, everyone knows that every FCS team would take those morons to the woodshed. We are the TRUE standard for college football #FCSFOREVER!!!!!11!!!11!!1!

4. Ban Yellow jerseys and Green Helmets. No explanation needed. Enough of these entitled players and their #Swag and texting on their emails and internets. These kids need to grow up and stop being gang bangers with their "color rush jerseys" and "alternative helmets". we all know what those really mean. Gang violence..... Its all been downhill since we introduced those non-traditional combinations. Except for when we did the throwback snorty helmets. those are ok, but the rest just indicates that the University, and society as a whole is crumbling

5. Move back down to D2, or better yet, D3 or even NAIA. After all, the only, and I mean ONLY THING THAT MATTERS IS NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS. Why win 8/9 championships when we could win 100/100 in NAIA? After all, the top level of all college football is wherever you can win a NATIONAL championship. The word NATIONAL is in its name so that is waaaaaaay way way way way better than winning something dumb like an "orange bowl" or "cotton bowl" or "fiesta bowl". I mean, what the f*ck are those? everyone know that advertisers are absolutely foaming at the mouth to advertise on the FCS, D2, D3, and NAIA championship games! No one watches a "rose bowl", lol... all about the Natties, baby, thats why youre seeing so many teams gleefully leaving the FBS for the FCS and even DII. Theyve seen the future of college football, and the future is D2

6.Do not, under any circumstances, improve or expand the dome. In fact, if we REDUCE the seats then it will decrease the amount of emtpy seats! Problem solved. Addition by subtraction. No one has ever or will ever be encouraged or discouraged to going to a game based on how interesting a stadium or facility is or the amenities that it offers. Think about it, that's why the price a trailer home is exactly the same price as a mansion on Gull Lake on AirBnb and VRBO! Duh! DO NOT IMPROVE THE DOME, just a waste of money that no one will notice or care about.

7. Ignore objective truths such as the "law of decreasing marginal utility". Nope. Its #FakeNews and #alternativeFacts. Ignore that UND propaganda. In fact, we believe that the longer youve had something, the MORE you are willing to pay for it! We believe that the less exciting something becomes the MORE exciting it becomes! It makes perfect sense if you dont think about it. If you want to reinvigorate your program, fan base, marriage, home, career- just change NOTHING and everything is bound to change! Its absolutely genius. Think about it- thats why farmers can no longer factor in depreciation on their taxes- because nothing gets less valuable, exciting, or useful over time, EVER! Again, it makes perfect sense to us #FCSForever Nazis. Just repeat and believe #FcsIsThePinnacleOfCollegeFootball

I would argue that is very El Chapo like, except El Chapo usually operates in the more "Twitter Length posts". This post was way too long. Plus no mention of Hoople.

[El_Chapo]

Good answers about the tickets. I'm just very worried about the future of NDSU football at this level..... sorry!

plus how the HELL isn't this NDSU vs SDSU game on ESPN 2 ? or ESPN major miss by our AD/Marketing people not pushing for these games to be nationally on. (and fuck KVLY if that's 1 reason)

Good post!
One mistake though,
MankatoBison did mention Hoople,......
It is commonly known that his #FcsForever crowd is from Hoople.
Be careful, the Hoople Eyes are everywhere......
They are the Illuminati of Bisonville......

There was an article a while back that ESPN had asked for some games but wouldn’t allow them to be on KVLY and/or if they were on ESPN it would nullify our exclusive agreement with KVLY.

You could make an argument that the long term best interest of the school would’ve been getting additional exposure, but we need the KVLY money at this point.

Re: Point #1, which I can only assume is directed at me...

If you want to have a level headed conversation about this, I’m game. But I would like to point out a couple of things: First, I’ve never suggested to cancel the season. Second, I don’t identify with either political party. In our country today, I recognize that one political party currently aligns with MOST (definitely not ALL) positions backed by science, but that is an indictment of one of the parties, not science or me for aligning as such.

And lastly... you keep saying this kind of thing, that there is “science” that conflicts with other science. But that’s not how science works. While it is true that there are scientific articles that come out with dissenting opinions against current consensus, that’s not a “gotchya” or “proof” that one position is more right than the other, that’s actually an important demonstration of how science actually works: Scientists with decade-long degrees perform rigorous studies, publish, their peers (in specific fields) review and provide feedback in support or against (and sometimes journals issue retractions), and then this process is repeated over and over for years until the community as a whole feels they have enough evidence to hold a position on a particular topic. That’s how it works. Now, in the difficult pandemic situation, this process unfortunately required a fast track. This was a benefit as it relates to vaccine development and use, but definitely not beneficial as it relates to other forms of pandemic control. EVEN SO, to this point, the majority of the medical scientific community still agrees on the best measures to control and defeat this virus:

Get vaccinated, maintain social distance, wear masks, and wash your hands.

Now, what—in the actual fuck—do you have to disagree with about that?

8/10 on the rant. You didn't mention the filthy rich Valley farmers being content with status quo or the fact that USD or SDSU are well ahead of us in the facilities arms race. An overall excellent post though.
