NDSU to CUSA

[CAS4127]

This MAC game at 52 total points before half has me riveted to my TV ... as I wash dishes.

Edit: someone just scored a TD.

solid football...

[Rock]

90% of CFB fans are going to have to google to make sure those are legit bowls and very few NDSU fans will be making those a priority. "Christmas is cancelled, Russ we're headed to the Cure Bowl." lol

Part of the BISON novelty is that it’s North Dakota. With such a small population, and no significant attractions VERY few people have been to the state. Where much of the G5 etc people have heard of/seen/knows someone going there etc.

I think that novelty remains and gets them media attention.

That and the way NDSU plays ball would continue to make them an attraction in G5. Even if the game wasn’t well attended by Bison fans the fans that make it will be awesome as usual and spread the glory across new parts of the nation. Creating new fans, and eventually alumni.

I remember sitting at TCF with small kids behind me wearing their Gopher shit as NDSU tore their hearts out. I leaned over to the boy and said in front of his dad “remember kid… someday if you are good enough. Maybe you could play for The Bison.”

And that kid became Trey Lance.

Cool story bro

You drug addiction problem is starting to become more evident. Once in awhile maybe, and they had better be undefeated or maybe one loss with wins against a couple top ten teams. No one is dying to see a 11-1 Wyoming/Ap St get a spot over a 11-1 or 10-2 P5 school like Oklahoma, Ohio St, Alabama, Clemson, Penn St, Auburn, Georgia,Michigan,Oregon,Notre Dame and a few others. And all those bowls you just listed are pretty much bottom of the barrel that a 7-5 P5 school would play a 11-1 or 10-2 Mountain West. All these G5 schools that have had undefeated seasons since the FBS playoffs started....... how many have been given a shot at the 4 team playoff.

I dont do those idiot.

if there is 8 playoff teams like they are requesting, 1 will be a G5. promise.

And almost every single one gets better TV ratings than the FCS championship game. I looked it up a few years ago to make a point, and I believe only the Boca Raton bowl and maybe the Bahamas bowl got lower ratings than the FCS title game. The average college football fan doesn't know what FCS is.

remember this awesome story? Bahamas Bowl 2017

So we took a ship down to the Bahamas to see Ohio play UAB, and it has been nothing short of amazing (and honestly, questionable). Here's a short list of things we've done here at the game so far:

-Brought beer right in to the stadium. The locals at the gate didn't even ask to check tickets. One of them took a sip of my beer.

It's certainly entertaining. But I wonder if nobody is at the game or if it's covid restrictions. My goodness there couldn't be 1000 people there

Are you sure........or is that the drugs talking?
Oh and here is a shocker, Cincinnati is undefeated and currently ranked #6 even if they go undefeated has pretty much no way to make it to the FBS playoffs. And according to the story could actually get jumped by the teams behind them due to strength of schedule and fall further back. Good thing for NDSU that the powerhouse CUSA is an option.https://www.espn.com/college-footbal...nnati-bearcats

With the current format no. But if the playoff was expanded who knows.
