  1. If we are the Gleeful Peacocks will we have a TV deal with NBC?

     

    Better yet, let's be true capitalists and sell the nickname rights. We could be:

    The North Dakota Verizon Fighting V's

    The North Dakota Freaks - Freaky Fast and sponsored by Jimmy Johns

    The North Dakota Budweiser Storming Clydesdales - Unique and representative of UND!

    The North Dakota Grinders - Sponsored by the Red Pepper

     

    Sell the rights for 5 years at a time. New revenue to support the school and new merchandise sales every few years from people having to keep up with the new logos.

  2. Anyone have a link to the dakota chant? I'm trying to figure out what it is. It's not fight on Sioux is it?

    Silly administration would limit what they play.

     

    I looked through my old band recordings and none of them included it at the end, but here's the words for it. This would be chanted as an extension of the fight song after hockey goals and football touchdowns. Percussion would continue playing for it, but no other instruments played. 

     

    D-A-K, O-T-A, NORTH. DAKOTA. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO SIOUX!

     

    Scratch that - you can hear it at about the :30 mark of this video: 

  3. Never going to happen. Although, it would be cool. NDSU would need that game to be a home game to make it 6 on the year.

     

    How about UND buys out Stony Brook and gives NDSU the home game they want for 2016 in return for NDSU agreeing to come to Grand Forks in 2019?

  4. I had them in my cart, put in my payment info within the 10 minutes allowed, and when I went to process it, the site said I had taken too long!

     

    Meanwhile, gobs of seats remain for the other three regionals...

  5. Ummm...Georgia Southern has actually been one of Appalachian State's long-time rivals...

     

    Thank you for picking out my bad example. How excited would NDSU fans be to play them? Making a road trip to Georgia in your fan bus is bound to be just as fun as a road trip to Illinois, Iowa, South Dakota, Etc.

     

    Going to FBS in a conference with regional ties would be one thing. Going FBS in a conference with no familiar foes and no teams remotely close would be a terrible idea for NDSU.

  6. Going FBS is more than likely a terrible idea for NDSU. Just ask Appalachian state. I'm sure their fans are really loving a 2-5 start and games vs. Campbell, South Alabama, Ga. Southern, and many other exciting teams.

     

    Related, see App. State appear as the #3 team on last week's "Bottom 10" on ESPN

     

    IMO - A big part of what makes college football great are the conference rivalries developed over years of play. Jumping to FBS within a decade of moving from D-II to FCS would be bad enough; but that move would also be followed by years of poor results, diminished attendance, and eventually, dropping back down to FCS. (or whatever exists at that point in time)

     

    Being a top-tier FCS team is that NDSU needs to work on continuing to be. Recruits aren't going to give up on being a backup at a B1G school to start at a bottom-feeder. Recruits that leave bigger programs for NDSU are doing it because they want to win. Eliminate the winning by moving to FBS, the talent will disappear.
