NDSU vs Minnesota 2019

[FBS > FCS]

The crappy Iowa team that beat a 9-4 Gophers team in 2016?

You mean the Gopher team that had 10 players suspended and barred from the stadium and their QB played with a concussion that he got from playing Penn State the week before, or the exact same Iowa team the year before they were 12-0 that the Gophers beat by 40. Yeah that team.

LOL. Iowa was still ranked higher than Ohio State by the committee after losing to Michigan State.

That's because they played in the Big 10 championship, so the loser of that goes onto the Rose Bowl by default, which Iowa got slaughtered in.

Nice culture. #prideOfMinneapolis

I think you are late for class. Better get going.

Ok, so you're just that dense then. Got it.


When's the last time the Goophers won at Kinnick? Actually when's the last time the Goophers beat Iowa at all???

They beat they're exact same team that was 12-0 by 40 a few years back. After that the gophers have had quite the stretch on scandals and new coaches to really get any momentum in the program, but I'll take any healthy non scandal Gopher team over Iowa any time. Even the Gopher worst years when they were winning one or 2 games a year they still managed to beat Iowa.

Why is this in the football thread?

Lol. Well it is discussion about NDSU football. I could take it or leave it.

That might be the most preposterous thing I've read on Bisonville in the last 12 months.

5-15 in your last 20 against Iowa.

I love all the talk on here that the Gophers are scared to play NDSU. Please explain the benefit of playing any FCS schools if you're an FBS school?? I'll tell you since you guys don't seem to know college football. There's absolutely no benefit to it. If they lose, they'll never be ranked again in the season and will be playing at best in the Little Ceasars bowl game. If they win, there''s supposed to win and now their schedule is weaker because they even scheduled an FCS opponent. That's the whole point of the Big 10 eliminating those games, there's some pretty bad teams in the big 10 that you have to play every year so that hurts their schedule with that already, than you throw in a FCS school and now even if you go undefeated you're not getting into a decent bowl because of your schedule strength. Nobodys scared of playing NDSU, get real, if they're so great why don't they move up. If there was another upper division above FBS I know Alabama would want to be in, I would assume every school would want to be it, but not NDSU, let's continue playing teams that don't even offer scholarships and brag about our JV titles.

If the FCS is so weak, then why would you even mention the risk of losing? Surely a Power Five team such as THE University of Minnesota shouldn't have to worry about losing to such a weak opponent.

By the way, there is a division of football above FCS. Ever hear of the NFL? It's a logistical impossibility for Alabama to join the NFL, just as it's a logistical impossibility for NDSU to join the FBS.

Welcome, obvious troll.

I'll give you a reason. Money. Prior to the Penn State game, it would have been the Gopher's first sellout since 2015. And when was their last non-conference sellout?

Likely not since Bronko Nagurski.
