    Believe me, we are not distracting the players by thinking about 2 things at once. If the players were distracted by all the bullsh*t on here, we wouldnt have won a game in the last decade bahah.

    our conversations have approximately 0/100,000,000 effect on their performance on the field
    1. The FCS was the Best option for NDSU for a very long time.
    2. As a general rule- the FCS sucks at football and has proven that is not committed to football at all.
    3. It's time to go FBS

    I've talked with numerous former players in this current dynasty.. some of them even said they thrived on all the smack talk that NDSU fans had with other teams, because it made them want to back it up! Motivation.

    last time I checked, anyone can start a new topic on this forum, if posters dont want to talk about the AAC or Fatigue, start a new topic. geesh, its a message board, not fascism.

    You want the state to build a big ass stadium that'll get used 5-6 times a year?

    Logging into a thread to telling people to "give it a rest" can be compared to the little boy who stated "Mommy, every time I hit my finger with this hammer it hurts"!!! LOL.

    Logging into a thread telling people that you want NDSU to go FBS can be compared to the little boy who stated “Mommy, the ice cream man won’t let me have free ice cream again!!!” LOL.

    So we should attribute the success we’ve had over the last 8 years to internet tough guys.

    Thanks for your hard work, couldn’t have done it without you.

    Split half of the ones that Fargodome currently does, if somehow you pull off that coup, as in you're not going to attract new ones that are any better? Still not a money maker, nor being used 365 days a year. And Fargodome becomes a red number drag on the city of Fargo and starts eating up tax dollars like that potato storage facility up north.

    You must make the best business plans...

    I'm all for a new stadium that makes sense but it's going to be hard pressed to make the numbers pencil out by any stretch of imagination. In a way NDSU sold it's FB soul to city of Fargo with the Fargodome. That said I think they both need each other but I'd say Fargo would be hurt less by losing NDSU games than NDSU would be by trying to make a stadium work/profitable or even break even on their own now since they'd essentially have to start from ground zero. The only way I can see it happening is through a very large monetary gift of the likes that hardly anyone has ever seen.

    I think you're under selling this. There would be 366 days of use in leap years.
    North Dakota State, a football team the big boys of college football should avoid like the plague, helped christen a $90 million renovation to Snyder Family Stadium — including a statue of famed Kansas State coach Bill Snyder himself — by taking a sledgehammer to the place.
