Maybe the mods here need to look at what BV is doing to a person who may not be a Bison fan. http://www.bisonville.com/forum/showthread.php?31075-The-Official-!@#$-On-UND-No-Matter-How-They-Do-Thread/page484 So a fan disagrees or posts something anti-Bison and he needs moderator approval...can't this board do that to the Bison trolls. From Tony to Elmerfudd

They are known for being tough at home so I will give them that, of course we are nowhere close to solid until we start proving ourselves.

You do know that Missouri State is game three right? They haven't won more than 6 games since 1996. Not exactly solid, but the rest of your post is spot on.

We are still waiting for that Sonic to open.

After the game we can see where this team is at, and even compare the good/bad to last year's team. I hope to see a lot of improvement on 2 counts, defense, and rushing.

Now the world can end.

In my eyes yes, in the playoff committee no. In the public's eye..??

Letting the little guy (Boise St, Wyoming, Ohio, etc) have a legitimate shot at a NC is my point, getting rid of the 15k attendance rule or actually penalize those who don't follow it is my other point...the two are not together.

So it's all about ratings...then why have a playoff, playoff gives hopes to the little guy which everyone knows isn't going to happen. Like I said it's the Dance without Cinderella.

So if Boise St was playing for a NC against Oklahoma like they did in the fiesta bowl no one would watch? People love upsets that's why the dance is more popular than another Alabama vs P5 team X.

I figured more attendance would equal more air time, more sponsors but 82 said contracts aren't year to year but multi. That ends my thought.

Mafia man said the day they replace Cinderella teams in the dance with other P5 teams is the day it becomes 99% less exciting, so I replied with just like the upcoming FBS playoffs. 4 teams all to be P5 teams...99% less exciting. So are you caught up yet?

I thought of that one too but the BSU over Oklahoma is memorable too.

You just said name a team. That's why there are Cinderella teams.

So you don't think the FBS playoffs is the same as the Dance without the Cinderella teams?

Boise State, how many times should they have been given a shot at a NC.

Just like the so-called FBS playoff will be. No one outside the P5 will play in it.

Yes they do, whether its attendance or nicknames.

Why doesn't Northwestern play in a 100,000 stadium with 9.5 million people in Chicago's metro? Could it be $$$$$? Its supply and demand. Gophers wasn't exactly filling up the Metrodome before they moved.

Yeah it was why does the NCAA have a 15k rule in football but no attendance rule in basketball.

Bethel and St. Thomas was off that day. Last year over 42,000 saw Minny play Western Illinois.

Gee Lakes did you go around counting the people on your fingers and toes.

49,554 saw South Dakota beat the Gophers.

So distance is the reason no one goes to EMU games. Is that your stance. Its not because they have won one conference title in the last 27 years.

That is right, no one is there because they stink not because of distance from Michigan Stadium.
