Lets face it - the loss sucks. But if there is one possible upside to it, it could be the scheduling.
Do you think other teams - FBS and FCS - may be willing to schedule NDSU in the future knowing that were are "beatable"?
I have read that some FCS teams wouldn't even do home and homes with NDSU in the past during the streak. FBS teams (looking at you, Arkansas) would rather schedule MEAC teams because we win against the big boys.
I think the loss won't really help too much, but it may get some teams to at least answer the phone. Most FCS teams that we pay to come to Fargo are in desperate need of money and/or know they have no shot at the playoffs that season anyway, so they are fine being that body bag game. We may be able to get moderately better teams to come to Fargo for a guarantee now that we lost, but I still think most teams, FBS and FCS, are still going to turn us away in the near future.
