A new and better FBS thread

[TransAmBison]

Trust me on this one you ain’t ever getting 20k bison fans
to one of those bowl games

First bowl game after going FBS? Bison fans would take over the place at least 3 days before...it would be chaos. I don't care what the bowl was or where it was. Not saying they would keep doing it, but the first one...yeah we as a fanbase would travel for that. If there are 20k tickets available to Bison...I wouldn't put it past us to do it. We'd have to have that probationary period...so people would be itching for something postseason to go to.

And there I go defending bowl games. I'm no fan of bowl games whatsoever. I love the playoffs.

Nope. For a shitty bowl game? No. Not a single chance in hell.

Dare I say Trans and daddy are both correct?

The first bowl, yeah, it's new and novel. The numbers would show up. Advantage Trans.
But after that first experience and it's a weekday bowl in a so-so destination with under a week to make travel plans? Advantage daddy.

This makes me think they should add another bowl game called The TransDaddy Bowl. Maybe have it in Brookings.

What about bowl games in Boise, Detroit, Birmingham, NYC and other places where it might not be so nice in December?

so 3 ndsu games of 8,000-12,000

or 1 bowl game for 20,000 in Vegas/Zona/Florida/Cali

pretty easy call

"decent" is a perfect term. And 2 bowl games that generate zero excitement, exhibitions.

What is it exactly that you think the rest of the college football world thinks about FCS? Lol

Their "decent" is better than our "best". From a TV coverage, competition, etc. standpoint.

I would 100x over rather win the MW championship game than the FCS at this point. And I live in Frisco...

We should just say fuck everybody else and play sdsu 5 to 7 times a year and call it the dakota series eh. See who wins that eh

Absolutely agree, depending on the situation. If we're 10-3/9-4 have a good season, make conference championship game I think there's a really good chance.

I do think that the interest would taper off though like you say.

Remember, if we go FBS there will be no more Nationals Championships.

There will be only Toilet Bowls, and the occasional nicer bowl late in December or early January when there is a great season.

And before you rag on me saying they we could not compete for one, ask this.....do you actually think NDSU could beat Alabama, Ohio State, Michigan, Penn State, Georgia, Clemson, ND, etc. in the "college football playoffs". Seriously?

I would love to beat the big boys just as much as anyone else. But I'm also a realist, that would be a long shot of a bet.

For me (and many) its not about getting to a "Toilet Bowl." It's about seeing how good NDSU can get.
