I'm just glad we have a real playoff considering what a joke the coach's poll is with JMU at #2. https://www.ncaa.com/rankings/footba...s-coaches-poll

It's OK to not be OK.
1. The FCS was the Best option for NDSU for a very long time.
2. As a general rule- the FCS sucks at football and has proven that is not committed to football at all.
3. It's time to go FBS

We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie
East Tennessee State seed is a complete travesty. More than half of the teams playing in the first round are better than them.
There are a bunch of teams in a pile in the low 60s so I'm not even going to complain about all the Big Sky seeds but it's a joke that MVFC gets 6 in and 5 are playing on Thanksgiving. MVFC could arguably have had 4 seeds and ended up with 1. That's not right.

Marcia Larson was on the committee bro.
Oh yeah how many teams was I claiming the valley was going to get in last week and you and Tony told me it would never happen?
This is what some of us are sick of. I realize there is no place for ndsu to go. But it still sucks and is frustrating as a fan. That's why you see blue seats in the dome on TV and in person.
Lardsin must go!
I see Audi already posted some great content, but still wanted to post the final Sargarin regular season....nice to see NDSU finally moving up:
