    I think the FCS Kickoff is now owned by ESPN and they have a multi-year deal signed with the Cramton Bowl in Montgomery, Alabama to host it. I'd rather see NDSU cut out the middleman (ESPN) and work directly with the MSFA. I think the success of this Target Field game next August will be important to attract the attention of those people but getting something ready by 2020 is probably a little too quick. I agree though that this would be as good of a candidate as any game to make the pitch to play at US Bank Stadium.

    Wait, someone who wasn't an NC A&T rube legitimately said this on television?
    Some say it's a backward place. Narrow minds on a narrow way, but I make it a point to say. That that's where I come from.

    Maybe they could get this on FS1. Now we're talking! Suck it ESPN!

    2) NDSU has allowed a paltry 209 total points to those 12 FBS teams.


    3) NDSU has outscored FBS opponents in the 4th quarter by a margin of 69-27...……..69 to 27!!!! Yeah, FBS teams averaged just over 2 points in the 4th quarter over 12 games!
    If we lose and you post "Well this was the worst NDSU team ever." I will know you have went over to the dark side. What size Gopher sweatshirt would you like? LOL

    Can't argue with that assessment. I can't make up my mind if he really believed it or was just jacking his jaws.

    Why is NC A&T bringing their band? Why would you pay for it? Seems a bit odd. And tilted in their favor. What do you get out of it?

    I'm not sure they really are. I believe that info came from the A&T message board which also said they were getting 350k and it turns out they're only getting 240k so that information about the A&T band coming on NDSU's dime may also be bad.

    Agreed. The NDSU band had to more or less pay its own way to go to Iowa, I can't imagine why we would pay that much to drag their band up here and back.
