Ya know, I really hope spring practice begins with the goal of upsetting the Bison and Liberty U. That's the ultimate goal right now, along with winning 4 straight Celebration Bowls.

“All of what? We aren't rivals? Have no history between the schools? Aren't located in the same region? Aren't recruiting the same players? Outside of both schools being FCS...what do we have in common ?? Honestly I'd rather be playing a regional FCS or FBS program...but have fun in North Dakota. ” The statement would mean something if our future was MEAC, as I’ve heard the GOAL is the FBS level of play, it goes through the FCS and then to the FBS, playing NDSU now gives us a person to person fact filled experience of playing in the FCS Championship. big South means we are playing for a FCS playoff spot and journey to the top, Guess whose waiting on us! If we can’t beat them why go to the FBS![/quote] Beating NDSU or losing to them is not a barometer on moving to the FBS. There are literally more than 25 FBS programs that NDSU will bear with no problem, and there is probably 10-15 we would beat and have a better program. Our move to FBS if it gets there will be about money and clout. I am Indifferent whether we move or not. Far as I am concerned if we move to the FBS it will take us 5-10 years to achieve what we were already doing now. Winning our conference and playing on national tv for a bowl game. A bowl game that our bowl game already out performs in attendance and viewership. 💁🏿

...playing NDSU now gives us a person to person fact filled experience of playing in the FCS Championship.... I never thought about that, but it's totally true. NDSU may well be the best team we ever played next to Carolina and perhaps Tulsa.

NDSU is not better than Duke.
Duke would smoke them just as bad as they did us.

We’ve talked about swimming across but never intended to jump Until, everything is in order, but now we have a storm that has forced us to get in the water, are we going to tread water, or focus on swimming the ocean!

Interesting... FARGO — North Dakota State star linebacker Jabril Cox will enter the NCAA transfer portal, an indication that the senior-to-be will not be with the Bison next season. He is the first Bison football player of note to enter himself in the transfer portal for what appears to be a chance of playing for a higher-level program. It also means he won’t play another season with his brother, linebacker Jasir Cox, who will be a junior next fall. NDSU LB to enter transfer portal

That means they lose their star linebacker All American DE Derrick Tuska Defensive tackles Cole Karcz and Jack Darnell Marquis Bridges, Corner and free safety Hendricks from the starting lineup! The O line stays intact, minus 1 starting tackle. They are returning all three key receivers, and RB’s

We have been reloading as well! It will be a good test, who knows another shocker may be on the horizon.
