NDSU vs Minnesota 2019

[FBS > FCS]

And you only won by 7??

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.

You say people on here don't know football but then say this dumb shit. If the goophs would have went undefeated this year what bowl would they have been in? They would have been in the CFP even with SDSU on the schedule.

Do you know how the schedule works for the big 10, I doubt it, you're too hung up on thinking everybody is afraid of playing NDSU. Here's how it works. Any FCS game that is scheduled is most likely going to be the last game scheduled in that year. They can only schedule FCS teams if they are only playing too many games on the road. So they need to have all the other games figured out by than. The Tennessee Tech game has been on the books for awhile. Hence they just announced the Rhode Island game. I seem to be looking at NDSU schedule in 2024 and they have Colorado scheduled for that year already. I doubt they would play 2 FBS schools in one year since its obvious that they don't want to move up. Here's a fact for any NDSU fan. If they ever got the balls to move up, the Gophers would probably schedule them every other year.

Is this guy really this dense or is he just that bad at trolling???

You really think they need ticket money??? 90% of there money comes from TV, the rest comes from donors. They just built a $200 million athletic village all from donor money. No power 5 team needs ticket money. Let me know what else you need to know. I'm here to help. This thread seems pretty ignorant before I got here.

Haha, so because you guys don't know how things are done, I'm trolling?? This is why everybody thinks NDSU fans are complete morons.

LOL... ok. Please tell us more about how the main reason we won't move up is because we are afraid of the competition we are undefeated against since 2011.

The Gophers almost lost to South Dakota State. Nuff said

To be fair, NDSU almost did too.

Minnesota this year would likely beat NDSU, that's fine. They were pretty good this year for a change.

Yeah, they had a decent conference schedule, they played 3 ranked teams, that rarely happens. Take Iowa a few years back, they started 12 -0. They didn't play a ranked opponent until the Big 10 championship game. They lost that game, but all the college football analysts pretty much said that even if they would have won that game they wouldn't have been in the playoffs because they scheduled an FCS opponent. They ya go Einstein. Any other questions you need answered that most college football fans would know.
