NDSU Bison

First Time said:
Who cares if Bison fans beat their chests? They've done something no school at any level has done in football, they can beat their chests all they want. It doesn't matter what level it is, it's incredibly impressive winning 5 straight titles. Trying to diminish it by calling them JV just makes you look petty.

Beating their chest about 5 straight is something to be proud of and one thing, but thinking they cons compete with virtually anyone in the country is another.

And it's a small but vocal minority that does that. No one with a brain thinks they could compete game in and game out but they don't have to. They win their one offs and then win titles and do it with far less depth than FBS schools. They don't sneak up on anyone but they still win, if that gives some delusions of grandeur..then so be it.

Yes their are fans that think the Bison can compete with anyone but it's a small group. They are just more vocal and get on message boards like this and express it. In no way am I one of those fans. Idiots in every fan base.

By the way if NDSU ever went FBS they would gain I believe another 22 scholarships. That would definitely help their depth. I don't see them moving up and I hope they never do. Home playoff games and a chance to win a natty beats the hell out of some bowl game nobody gives a crap about. That and it would cost the school a ton of cash to move up.

Of course they'd gain scholarships. However, it's a lot different ball game when you're trying to out recruit Wisconsin, Iowa, Minnesota, and Nebraska regionally, not to mention compete with the 50 million dollars that each of those schools will be getting a year from their TV contract.

I've never been to the Fargodome but I'm sure with the loyal fans and great tailgate scene, it's a fun time. I know lots of Bison fans that accept it for what it is and love the hell out of it. That's awesome. That growing group of vocal fans though just makes me laugh because their arrogance leads to delusion. It's like a smaller scale of Nebraska fans that think their program can be consistently elite again; the 70's-90's are long gone now, 12 straight seasons with at least 4 losses. Never thought that day would come, but with how the sport has changed, they can't recruit nationally like they once did.

Those seniors that graduated in 2014 won more national championships (4) than they lost games (3). That is unheard of.

That and there's not really anywhere for NDSU to go to. They're not big enough that the Big Ten would come calling, and I'm sure there's a bunch of other reasons why. The MAC might take them, but they would be a hell of outlier. The Mountain West would be even worse distance wise. Unless something big happens with a lot of the Power 5 schools breaking off, I don't really see where NDSU would have a spot where they would really fit into FBS, and if and when that shift happens, there's probably a lot of the schools left behind that just might opt to go FCS instead.

A little surprised we haven't been getting Bresciani updates here. :)

As a Bison, the whole situation is just embarrassing. Bresciani should be booted, especially given the emails that came to light showing he knew full well and supported the new ridiculous media policy, and then tried to throw everyone else under the bus when the populace revolted. Stupid policy, put in place by stupid, power-tripping idiots.

To have this come on the heels of the years-long stupidity surrounding the Sioux/No-Names/Fighting Hawks, it sure doesn't say much for NDUS.

Nobody liked the game, I thought it was good. Changing stations from this and the Gorman game.

Second half much more entertaining that the first. Had the Bison started the season with Iowa it would of been real ugly. Luckily they have 3 weeks to get better. They will need it.
 
Re: NDSU Bison

DeLuca has an MRI on his shoulder tomorrow. Doesn't sound good. Bison can't afford to lose a guy who will be playing on Sunday's. I guess if it's a season ending injury he can get a medical redshirt and come back next year.

That would be a big loss for the Iowa game too. Unfortunate. Iowa's run game should be good.
