I mean, I kept seeing posts about how great they were because they bookended their 5 national titles with playoff losses to the eventual champion. Surely, they should get rings for that. Who are you friends with? My social circle is about 75% NDSU alumni and I haven't seen much of anything even acknowledging the game yesterday.

Who did their best to make yesterday about NDSU, for some pathetic reason. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yah, I heard them reference NDSU early on, for obvious reasons, and I also saw the Fargo media literally counting how many times they did it. Like little fan boys.

Yeah, super weird that people who rely on clicks from the public and viewership from the public would talk about a topic their readers are interested in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is super weird. They get paid by twitter views? There aren't any clicks on a simple tweet. Anyways, your missing the point. They are supposed to be journalists and instead are acting like rubes counting the number of times NDSU is mentioned. That is super lame.

NDSU bias aside, the media hasn't been about reporting the "news" objectively in decades. Maybe they never were. They'll talk about whatever gets people clicking, sharing, reading and talking about their content. And yes, people can get paid to post on twitter if they have enough followers. Same with facebook, instagram and YouTube. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old School Guy Posted January 15, 2017 Share Posted January 15, 2017 Watching Falcons and Seahawks...it's amazing how much weight a yellow flag can carry. Two penalty flags on kick returns sank the Seahawks in the first half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are right in terms of the long-term prognosis, but this news won't do anything but hurt Eastern Washington in the short-term (2017 season), although the degree of interruption remains to be seen. EWU also has to replace a fair amount of on-the-field talent. If they weren't before, UND should now definitely be the Big Sky Conference favorite in 2017! Go UND! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talent will likely be down as they lose their top three receivers which will be a big hit. Then again, last off season I was certain that they would have a down year but I was wrong in a big way. Either way I am liking the regular season finale against them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Utah is my for sure road game because it is only a 6 hour drive...and that stadium they play in looks awesome. Vermillion is only 9 hours so I might make it if the stars align.

They have won a few close games in last couple years, that could start to change. They are not the same team anymore, it's going to be fun football this coming season. I really like playing EWU at home the last game of the season, that'll be huge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their other two OOC games are against two of the worst 20 teams in FCS. At worst they will go into conference play at 2-1 and likely 3-0 since they are catching EWU in their first game.
