I think we get a mix here of level-of-play comparisons, and level-of-popularity comparisons, depending on the poster and his or her agenda. For level of popularity, the two ESPN GameDay trips to Fargo pretty much settled that argument, not to mention the TV ratings.

Even most of the March Madness 1st weekend sites are sparsely attended these days.

Pretty much same timing as 5 years ago. Hey, if it ain’t broke...

The bubble with an unfilled date wouldn’t exactly be a good look either.

Last I checked the AD has the final word on the schedule.

Per FootballScoop.com, Mayville State looking for an FCS game on September 21.

Imaging for a moment Motzko heading down to Mariucci to address his new players, all decked out in the "M". Then heading back to St. Cloud to coach a national semi-final in the next two days. Sound absurd? That's because it IS!

Yes. I get that. If it was Hakstol addressing the players in a team meeting in Flyer's warmups two days prior to a national semi-final, I guess I'm saying that would bother me.

The trend of players sitting out meaningless bowl games is also helping press the issue.

http://footballscoop.com/news/heres-chris-kliemans-first-meeting-new-kansas-state-players/ Is he still coaching NDSU on Friday night? If so, I've gotta believe that would be it, and Larson would name Entz the interim HC and figure it out in the meantime? I haven't seen a precedent for this.

There's something about their program that's bigger than any individual head coach. They have all been mediocre at best in the win column after leaving NDSU for the next level, with the possible exception of Darrell Mudra if you go back far enough. Maybe Klieman breaks that trend, good luck to him.

Throw Vraa in there too.

http://footballscoop.com/news/monday-morning-update-kansas-state-search/ That's code for "Sean Snyder comes with the deal". Hard pass.

So EWU can get run out of the building on grass instead of on red turf? I don’t see anything changing from 15 months ago.

Entz seems to be the people’s choice if Kleiman does take an opportunity elsewhere.

They would have won the MAC, Sun Belt, or C-USA this year.

NDSU TD to open the 2nd half. NDSU offense doing whatever they want on 3rd down, Colgate 0 for the morning in 3rd down. I’ve seen this movie before.

LOL Lincoln Riley will has more NFL interest than any coach in the country.

The FCS playoff games have been drawing higher ratings than the Frozen Four for quite some time now.

I know they aren't FCS any longer, but Hugh Freeze is going to Liberty. The irony is so thick you can cut it with a Ginsu knife... http://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/25476184/former-ole-miss-coach-hugh-freeze-agrees-deal-liberty-head-coach

I wish Klieman all the luck in the world if this opportunity materializes. Snyder's nature will be to undermine his successor, Taylor will need to manage that.

Would love to see what they could do vs. Minnetonka, but will have to settle for two against EGF, which won't be too shabby of games either.

Rodgers is like Damien Thorn from "The Omen" with Philbin and Brian Gutekunst as the Hellhounds.
