A new and better FBS thread

There are also some reports that their offer was a red herring

Interesting, though not sure how well connected that guy is. IF it’s a red herring, and CUSA is Tarleton’s landing spot, does that mean SHSU is in play? From the below article, Tarleton is a better add than SHSU would be, but SHSU no longer has the FCS label.

Texas press is naturally making the case for Tarleton

If attendance is your concern, Tarleton’s average of 18,697 fans in 2023 was the fifth-best in FCS and more than current Texas FBS schools UTEP (18,160), North Texas (17,761), and Sam Houston (8,298).

I just hope that maybe there’s another shoe to drop yet with MW. This week has not started well.

I kind of wonder if they floated them out to put some pressure on Texas State, which obviously didn't work.

I say, Dr. Watson, the plot thickens......

Linked from that same Twitter account - it seems like the Hawaii AD/staff really enjoyed their visit to SHSU this year … dear lord I hope that isn’t who they are targeting next

Without singling out anybody, the responses to my post about Tarleton St sure show a lot of insecurity. Calling me a troll says everything. They're basically us from 20 years ago. Big difference is low/mid tier FBS learned not to schedule good FCS teams so Tarleton hasn't had a chance to get those wins like we did. I still have no understanding why people here hate on a school that wants to be good.

Not sure I have ever agreed with McFeely more than what his thoughts are about the current state of where NDSU is at today on his podcast. It is becoming 1995 all over again, our big game and season is UND and SDSU. He listed off the 2012 top 15 FCS schools...you had great programs from all over the country and now it is just the Dakota schools and Montana schools...I guess Central Arkansas as well who will probably go FBS soon. This not why went DI, it was to compete with who we thought our peers were, on a national level and that just isn't the case anymore.

You’re saying NDSU in 2004 deserved to get looks from the mountain west? Lol gtfoh

Who’s calling it hate? Between NDSU leadership and mountain west decision making, Tarleton is about the only party not catching disdain here lol honestly I’d say the feeling towards Tarleton is jealousy more than anything. Must be nice to have leadership with vision.

Obvious troll is obvious

They are not us from 20 years, not even close. There is really nothing like us, a school that langiushed in a shit filled division for decades because we had cowards as leaders who had zero vision. At least Chapman got us out of that mess.

I have no hate for Tarleton, they just have done nothing and if you want my respect you go out and win. That is all I ask, I am not going to fawn all over them because they are a Texas school with some potential.

Just a guess..Hawaii becomes an all sports member which gets the MW to 8. Then sit back for awhile and see what pops up.

I'm sure the usual FCS Forever crowd will always find an excuse for not moving up or not wanting a particular conference when we all know NDSU can't be choosy.
