If he was a realist he would acknowledge that.
    Yeah I guess it’s just something I think is really important. And it’s the off-season. Once the season fires up I’m all on board and I’m sure I won’t post in this thread as much. I’m sure that’ll make some people happy haha.
    Mountain West, hope for the best.

    Also, what's wrong with other opinions?
    That’s probably the first real post you’ve made. Nothing wrong with other opinions, just that you usually just shit on other peoples without really sharing your own.

    I understand realism. I just don’t understand your constant need to shit all over everything. The reality is that you don’t know anymore than anyone else here. You play the pessimist so if NDSU doesn’t move you can say you were right. Cool. I guess I’m more interested in intelligent discussion. There are people in this discussion who believe similar to you, however they also acknowledge that there is a path to FBS right now. They just don’t think it’s wise. Your stance is…well i don’t know what your stance is other than to be an eternal pessimist about any scenario brought up.
    ^^^^^^This. Seems there's two or three that that bitch and complain about any scenario that involves moving up, but you can't call them FCS Forever trolls.

    FBS OR BUST

    Whats your idea of actively? Its seems if NDSU doesnt actually tell the fan base what they are doing they arent actively looking. Even though there has been a lot going on behind the scenes.

    You don't give out trophies for losing. Trophies for sucking. That's a communist idea. You don't get a trophy for losing. You get a piece of pizza and you shut up. Trophies for losing? What the hell happened to us?

    Since you’re “in the know”, is this activity behind the scenes recent or has it been happening for awhile? I think some of the frustration here is that it feels a bit more recent and that seems a little late to the party from my perspective. I know Chapo is his own worst enemy but I think there is some truth to the fact that NDSU leadership was caught off guard by the declining attendance and from my perspective it feels like that along with the moves by JMU, JSU and SHSU has finally forced their hand.

    Again youve proved yourself to be a liar. Plus you dont know what this admin has or hasnt done. Any thing stated as fact in that regard is a lie also.

    My idea of actively is not answering questions about FBS with “If the phone rings I’ll pick it up” or whatever the heck the quote was. The stakeholders do not see the vision or the direction of the AD and are cancelling their season tickets in droves because of it. I’m glad that you get some information and feel comfortable sharing it here. The vast majority of us are not so lucky.

    You can’t blame the fans for not knowing what the president and AD are doing if they always deflect or (supposedly falsely?) claim that they haven’t done anything.
    Mountain West, hope for the best.
