    Ah, yes. That is a good point. When he says "like NDSU" it seemed to me that he was referring to all of those schools as peers to both, but I can see where it might be differently. But then, if those are Delaware's peers, then which of North Dakota State's peers have moved up? Seems like it would be pretty much the same teams. 

    Yeah I was confused too. I just always brush off McFeely though, he openly states that the best in his profession are those that rile people up to get them clicking on their article or listening to their radio program (before he was booted from radio for being junk). Facts, context, common sense; all be damned.

    He usually takes a nothing story, tries to blow it up into something, attempts to get people riled up with a “hot take”, and then slap a semi-misleading or skewed headline on top for good measure. He whines about the downfall of newspapers into click-bait websites, and then proceeds to spew a bunch of click-bait.

    But after all that he’s the only person in the FM press who even mentions FBS in front of our president or athletic director. So we roll with what we got lol.
    Mountain West, hope for the best.

    Wikipedia lists all of the teams that were in the university and college divisions before the split into three divisions in 1973. What I found interesting was that the MVFC was in the university division and none of those teams are still in the conference.

    From this McFeely Opinion Piece:


    It's interesting that Mike considers North Dakota State and Marshall as peers. I get the others listed, but not a school NDSU has never faced or even shared a football division with since the late 1930's.
    It's OK to not be OK.

    NDSU needs to run the table here with some amazingly convincing wins to keep our FBS dreams alive.
    NDSU TO FBS. HAVEN'T WE WON ENOUGH?

    Because if we don't win the championship this year 9 out of 12 years isn't good enough but 9 out of 11 is?

    it doesn't matter. The dream is dead. Long live the dream.
    I don't care what Jim says. That is not the real Ben Franklin. I'm 99% certain.

    The rest of the season literally has ZERO influence in whether we get a FBS invite! I think we have already proven we are worthy competitively, no question. You need to quit bringing down this fan base with your doomsday talk!

    I really don’t think there is a question whether we will dominate G5 FBS ………. Just a matter of if/when we get that invite!
