UND1983

Minnesota was #48 (NDSU lost). Central Michigan was #82 in 2007 (NDSU won).

Yes I do. I asked if NDSU has ever played a team ranked that high. Not unbelievable to ask that.

For the record, I am not trying to say NDSU is bad. They are very good. The statements that have been said are so over the top, blanket statements that leave absolutely no room for discussion in Bison06's mind. Personally, I think it would be a different world if NDSU would actually play an FBS team that is ranked in the Top 50 even of the Sagarin ratings, on a neutral field, in the middle of the year when it means something. But that is what message boards are for.

I don't even know what to say anymore. You lost to Indiana State at home but would go on the road to a neutral site and beat USC. Got it. Question: has NDSU ever played an FBS team ranked in the Top 50 of the Sagarin Rankings? Top 60? Top 70? Go check it out and let me know the answer.

No, he said they would beat them. Not just 'stay close and not embarrass themselves.'. That is a level of arrogance that needs to be called out.

Let's start with USC. We are all ears.

you are backtracking. You said you would take them, meaning they would BEAT, any team outside of Top 30..no questions asked.

So now its "would beat ndsu so badly". Last post was u would take them vs any team outside of top 30. Which one is it?

I see Kansas State is picked 7th in the Big 12 next year (out of 10 teams). Can you guys just admit/laugh about the the fact that Gene Taylor has the magic touch when it comes to scheduling FBS games? Its almost unbelievable how it works out. They go from Top 5 in the country to 7th in the Big 12 (out of 10 teams).

Look at the play by play from the moment that Taylor got hurt and left the game. Their defense quit after that play. They were doing great until he got hurt and I don't think they ever forced a punt again. Not saying anything about NDSU, just pointing out a sign of a mentally weak team that they would give up like that. NDSU just crushed them in 2nd half.

They pounded SH in second half. SH basically gave up. They were never the same after there all american safety went down.

SH looked shell shocked after their best player went down. 10-3 FU

Obvious that SHSU doesn't think much of Marcus Williams. He is getting worked over.

Worst holding call ever. Terrible

The picture on DirecTV is god awful. Horrible.

You have to realize they have had 1 home game all year, I think, and haven't had one in over a month. That will play a big part in record and shooting ptc.

Not interested. The easiest path to the playoffs is to schedule FCS doormats. They all count the same.

Keep going. UND played them in 2009 when Mike Leach was the coach.

Like I said, I am done. Go look at TT's recent history on your own time if that's what you think.

They were 8-6. In the MAC. Please don't compare the MAC to the Big 12 ever again. Anyway, enough of this. Doesn't matter anyway. I apologize for flaming it.

I believe they were favored vs. Minnesota.

Thats fair enough. I simply asked if you would like to see them play a good FBS team to where they would be a decided underdog going in. Then winning it would be even sweeter.

Yes I would have liked to see NDSU play a good, solid FBS team like that. Wouldn't you - as an NDSU fan? NDSU has been the favorite in their last two FBS games, which is almost unheard of.

Average? They were 9-4 overall and won the Alamo Bowl. They ended the year ranked #21 in the country. They would be BY FAR the best team NDSU had ever played.

Its only taken him nine years. It got to the point where he finally had to admit there strategy was to only play winnable FBS games.
