Ladies & gents... now THIS is a ball game!

No more optimus-Klein. Love seeing Snyder's cupcake plan backfire on him.

Why is NDSU still playing in FCS?


4 consecutive years with a victory over an FBS team is pretty impressive.

Definitely time to consider making the jump, assuming they can find a conference to call home.

I am giddy, happy, pleased, smiling Dang my Bison just would not give up. THey kept at it and at it and pow!

Too small to make a jump, they will go from being a big fish in a small pond to being a small fish in a very large pond with no shot at a National Title.

Very impressed with the crowd they brought from what, Bismarck?

Huge win for the Bison. Bring them to FBS already.

Thanks. My knowledge of the cities of ND is limited.

Two small to make a jump, they will go from being a big fish in a small pond to being a small fish in a very large pond with no shot at a National Title.

But still teams move up every year, with no realistic shot of a championship. I could see them being the westernmost team in the MAC, if an opening came up.

North Dakota State University is in Fargo as previously mentioned. University of North Dakota (hockey fame - beats Minnesota) is in Grand Forks. Both cities are on the Red River. Bismarck is the capital and another of the populated cities is Minot. Williston is the center of oil fracking and is at the border of Montana. i think I read last night that the game's attendance was the largest ever at KSU stadium. Sure looked like a lot of yellow in the stands.

NDSU and UND are much too small to compete at FBS level. Their funding cannot match that of bigger schools. Over time I have wished Oregon would recruit in the Dakotas and Minnesota. Obviously, there are some bodacious ballers coming from there. I noticed the blocking last night, much akin to blocking by the Ducks. The fundamentals win games.

Go Bison and Go Ducks!

I know, but I guess what I meant is that the upside in trying to move up is outweighed by the downside. Some schools are just better off where they are.

Wow what a shocker, and what an incredible win for NDSU.

Only caught the end of the game, but NDSU's QB has some drive.
