Agree. The game is at 10:30 eastern time. Not a lot of football games to choose from that late. Will be good exposure for the FCS.

Also, doesn't the Big Sky's new contract with ESPN mandate a couple games on ESPNU or better each year? Why doesn't the MVFC have something similar? My guess is because it's a one sport conference? Apples to Apples, the UND/NDSU game is much better, and it isn't on that nasty red field.
Butt we are BISONNATION!!!! WE DESERVE EVERYTHING!!!! So dumb!!! I posted that on FB this weekend when people were emailing FLO telling them they sucked...

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
Good for them. Helps that they're on Pacific time.
Hope NDSU can make deep runs in the playoffs as getting ESPN to broadcast a game during the regular season without an FBS game is nil and none. We are in flyover country and media loves the coastal states and Montana where many from the coast own land. Doesn't matter if we won 8 of the last 10 nattys, we are irrelevant to them and they hope we go away! Being FCS just adds to the excuse to ignore us. Need to move to FBS as soon as possible or what little momentum is left will be gone.
