    Well that certainly smacks the face of the two that keep saying thats not happening.

    It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.

    I'd say try to get a service academy to US Bank for a neutral site game.
    Looking good Billy Ray!

    I believe the score between NDSU and Alabama would be closer than the score between NDSU and UND. Realistically, I feel the Bison could keep it within 20 on a good day.
    Hail the BISON!!!

    SEC has that funny schedule where they start conference play a week early and then have an open week later in the year. Really cuts down on available dates.

    Obviously we probably will never know, but I guarantee Saban would not overlook NDSU like a normal southern FCS team. It may be good for a half but no way we have the horses to run with those boys all 4

    I got to work a scrimmage at a major P5 school. After the scrimmage we got to eat with the team at their training table. Our host happened to also be in charge of scheduling for the team. I asked him if they would ever consider scheduling North Dakota State. He said absolutely not. They might lose and that would look very bad. And this was a team that would likely beat NDSU if they played. But they could lose and weren't willing to take that chance.

    Really?!?! You'd rather watch NDSU sh*t pound someone, than go play a bigtime P5 school?

    That's not at all what he said.
