    I’m sure we were looking past Arizona to the Northland game. (Face palm)
    Or we scheduled Northland just to piss off all the fans with little man syndrome!
    Any other conspiracies?

    I'd still rather have NDSU play AZ than a D3 college.

    No, I'm saying that scheduling inferior competition does nothing to prepare you for a step up in competition when it occurs. Professor Chaos nailed it, this is a cheap game for a program that is not funded well. If we want to aspire to bigger things there is never a good reason to have Northland on the schedule. Simple as that.

    This is why the AD needs to work on more home and home games with other mid majors.

    That might smoke out the true value of coach and then he'd have to find a replacement ...

    Then why do almost all schools schedule inferior competition?

    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.
