Toaster oven infomercials go on national TV on a weekly basis too. How much has that helped their branding?
I'm a borderline hardcore sports fan and even I haven't watched more than 2 minutes of a MACTION game during the week in 7 years. I'm not in the football mood on a Tuesday at 9pm. Neither is anyone else
Depends, do you have patience to wait the 10 years it would take to get us established? Or are you thinking that if we're not in yearly contention for the CFP by 2024 we'd be wasting our time?
I'm 29, I got time. Jump relatively soon and I'd be willing to bet that within 5 years we'd be on equal footing with where Appy, Coastal Carolina and Liberty are, if not better. 10 years from now we could be similar to what Boise is/was. That would put us on the periphery of yearly CFP contention.
Like I said, would take vision and patience. Don't think there's much of that around here collectively unfortunately. I enjoy watching us play in FCS, but think we can do better. Don't matter, I'll wear my NDSU gear every saturday and watch the game just the same.
Need an invite, but I don't think we're working very hard to make one happen. Who knows, maybe everyone told ML we needed a mega-IPF before we get an invite.
If the last round taught us anything, it’s that these conferences expect the presidents of interested schools to contact them. I honestly have no idea if that has happened, but I’d be shocked if there hasn’t been contact of some sort with the MWC. The fact that someone in that conference brought up NDSU unsolicited speaks volumes to me. We shall see … Like you, I’ll support and follow the Bison either way. You gotta admit that this playoff system is pretty cool. Get through this Saturday and things start to get even more interesting.
Yeah. Like was even said on 1660, a lot of the conversations are done by consultants. A) They're the experts and B) Gives everyone a clear slate on FOIA or not getting caught when questioned by media.
As to your playoff comment, yeah FCS playoffs are pretty sweet. Although, my dream scenario:
12 team CFP, with top-rated G5 eligible if conference champion.
G5 playoff, top 24 teams and same format as FCS except no conference champs.
My fiancee would murder me with how much football I'd be watching in December/early Jan

When you play football, you gotta like the taste of blood, And 50 percent of the time, it's your blood.
It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.
