After eight lost years of mediocrity and bad losses, I am more than ready to taste big-time success.

When the Bison trolls come on this site and run their mouths, that is what you will get from me.

What happens during the next five years under Bubba's leadership will be anything but "hypothetical". Do not forget that. Judgment Day is coming. The FCS will rue the day that UND was screwed out of a spot in the 2015 playoffs.

.....and NDSU would be a full member of the Big 12 in all sports, not just wrestling. You just keep running your big, fat mouth on here. Because when the shoe is on the other foot (and that day is coming), I am going to shove it all back in your face and I will enjoy every second of it. I have had it up to my eyeballs with you and your FBS-wannabe FB team. That will make the role reversal that much sweeter. GO FIGHTING HAWKS, GO GRIZ AND GO BIG SKY CONFERENCE

"Objects in the mirror are closer than they appear!!!"

Please tell me you are being sarcastic.

Yep, all Jones does is put together a line-up card and then sit and watch (sarcasm). I think Mussman was spouting some of the same nonsense during his final season. Jones has been in charge of this program for almost a decade now. He is responsible for the roster, the assistants that work under him and everything else that happens. I wonder if he will cut a couple of players to save his own a$$? The last vestiges of the disastrous Tom Buning regime are still causing damage to the men's basketball wing of the athletic department. And it's time to pull the plug.

But remember, if you don't have any idea who the next coach should be, you can't criticize the current one (sarcasm).

Who is your current DC? Leslie Frazier?

I don't think the Women's team will be bad this year; they'll bounce back once they get their injured players back in the line-up. But it will be interesting to see how the Women's team bounces back from a very disappointing 2014-15 season. As for the Men's program, you are right about the leash Jones has been given and it is a serious concern.

It's definitely something that needs to be watched this season, that's for sure.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone and don't get trampled by the crowds on Black Friday!

If you are talking about having bowl games for the teams that don't make the 24 team field, then I could get on board with this. And the FBS field of 4 will be expanded to 8 in the next five years. There will be too much controversy over teams getting left out that are just as good as the team being included. And there is way too much $$$$$ that can be made with an extra round of games.

Cripes, it took us literally decades to get rid of that horse*bleep* "bowl system" in FBS, and now you guys are trying to install it in FCS? The playoff system needs a better selection process and a set of consistent criteria, but it is still way better than any of this boneheaded bowl BS.

So we can have the national champion "voted on"? I don't think so.

You and I both know that if this happened to almighty, untouchable NDSU, Bisonville would have crashed and melted down Sunday morning. So please get off your high horse and stop acting holier-than-thou about this.

The fix is in.

And that could be it until 2016.

When the Bison get screwed out of a playoff spot and/or a seeding decision, I look forward to you coming on here and saying the same thing.

The FCS will rue the day that this team was jobbed out of a hard-earned playoff spot this year. Judgement Day is coming.

I am thinking we should start scheduling SEC teams every year so we can have at least one "quality loss" on our resume.

Hey, if you want to join the haters, be my guest. I'll stick with the Alumni Association and their hard work making this a better place.

Well, you did predict the next FB coach two years ago.

I also have seen talented teams (the San Diego Chargers of the mid-2000's for example) underachieve and fall far short of expectations.

Faison left Mussman in place way too long. And he gave him that ill-advised extension after winning the "prestigious" Great West Football Conference Championship. The fact that Bubba has turned the program around much sooner than most of us ever dared to imagine does not change the fact that Faison was slow to pull the trigger.
