That extra attendance plus not having to pay a guarantee should give you a nice profit for that Saturday.
With the exception off App State & Ga. State our attendance in our redone stadium has been low for the last 3 years and you know why!
GSU should have a 2 for 1 with NDSU. I think both stadiums would be full for both and maybe an ESPNU telecast. It wouldn't hurt either of us.
NDSU is 3-0 against GSU and I want revenge.
GSU should pay NDSU to play in Statesboro and as long as GSU is payed enough to travel to NDSU it should not be a problem IMO!
Now for your "return" game, GSU will play a neutral site game. FBS teams love those, and this gets around the whole FBS @ FCS team rule the Sun Belt Conference might have. Georgia Southern will come up to Minneapolis and we can play at the Minnesota Vikings stadium. Now that I think about it, let me walk back that whole money point I made, NDSU might even give you guys a cut of the gate for that game. If NDSU can sell 30,000 tickets for Butler at the Twins stadium, I can't imagine how many tickets would be sold for a Georgia Southern game in the Twin Cities, it would be glorious.
We shouldn't have a neutral site game. NDSU fills its stadium and should have the respect for GSU to play in the Fargo Dome!

For you guys to get into any decent bowl consideration you need to schedule and win against competitive P5 in nonconference play. A loss against NDSU (which right now I think would be probable though things could change) basically destroys any chance you have of any meaningful bowl opponent...if that’s your goal.
Disagree - NDSU is ranked higher than many G5 schools. NDSU should schedule against P5s but adding GSU couldn't hurt as long as we progress!
Georgia Southern Spread Option Football - Out weighed but seldom out played! Of course, GSU doesn’t run the Spread anymore – but still!
If I want your opinion I’ll tell you what it should be! wwwGSUFANS.com (TALON TALK) Go Bison
