A new and better FBS thread

[daddy daycare]

I honestly cannot understand why you guys are content hearing NOTHING from the administration about FBS for years and years, both during times of realignment musical chairs and during lulls. I guess some of us are mentally invested in wanting the team and our athletics program to move forward, so our frustration at an absolute blackout of information/plans/vision comes out.

I certainly don't see myself as important at all. I have two season tickets to basketball. That's it. So, NDSU doesn't need me. But they need several thousand of me. The several thousands of me, and of you, and everyone else on the board, do matter. At least, that's my belief. It clearly isn't yours or the university's position.

Don't get mentally invested in something you can't control?

Holy shit. Did I just win the internet? Holy fucknuggets, I think I did! So exciting!

I'm afraid it isn't that great of a victory. No lottery winnings or anything. But I don't want to argue anymore. With anyone. You are all NDSU fans. You are. Greenfieldbison is. So are all who work in athletics, including ML. I wish everyone on the board and in the NDSU universe the very best. I apologize for any animus directed at anyone in my posts. I don't want to do that anymore. Is it 56 that has the fishing pole tag line? That sentiment is exactly correct. I'm gonna embrace that now.

You are correct, and duly noted. It is wasted time and energy to worry about things you can't control. It is irrational to ignore this truth.

You make a solid case for not being a sports fan

Very magnanimous and healthy I think. May be one of the better posts on this site in a long while.

And you are right, each of us in our own quirky way just wants what's best for the institution, the team, the individual students and of course our fellow fans.

These are definitely in the wrong thread but in case you have not seen them, a little peace offering.

The CUSA is a dog shit conference. These teams have left: Charlotte, Florida Atlantic, Marshall, North Texas, Old Dominion, Rice, Southern Miss, UAB and UTSA. If you read some of the reasons you can thank our lucky stars IF we were offered we had the good sense to say no.

western illinois, indiana state, und, usd, southern illinois, misery state are SOOOO much better than CUSA arent' they?

I would not at all be surprised if there's been something long in the works, quietly being negotiated, waiting for some deadlines to pass and some financial guarantees to be secured...perhaps also waiting for the spring sports to end before an announcement. Perhaps we'll hear something in June.

Just to be clear: I know nothing. I'm just saying that I wouldn't be surprised if we hear such news.
