Nah. I have the same beef with pretty well all attendance numbers... At all schools.

Tickets sold or butts in seats.

It would require years and years of being awful.

I doubt we'll ever see another day where NDSU only had 4k again. Sports are cyclical though no doubt

I was at the game with my family.... So I'm guessing we watched the same game unless you got confused and flipped on some high school all America game

Some programs demand success. Others hope for it. If Ole Miss goes 8-4 every year their coach will never get fired. They may even build the guy a statue. Can you say the same about Bama, Michigan, or ND?

Comparing Florida to Alabama in terms of national succes/fan expectations is unfair. Very few schools/fan bases are Alabama-like.

That works imply UND has ever had a football dynasty... Which is nonsense.

A big difference is that Alabama fans probably look at that time between titles as this awful stretch of time.. And were willing to do anything to get back to that level of success. Florida fans are probably happy competing for conference titles and beating on Fl St, UGA, and Tennessee.

What I'm seeing here is one school has an expectation to win championships... The other has a goal of trying to be as good as the other. Two very different sets of goals.

Be careful. The Ivy League chooses to be nice. Schools like NDSU/UND etc become a non factor if those schools decided they want to win.

Fumble on a run. Fumbled snap. So at least two. Not sure if they ruled otherwise on others.

Fumbles. 3 in one quarter.

Going to tell us about the fumbles? Just because the offense recovers them does not make it acceptable.

Mind filling everyone in how many fumbles he has? Debating if I should call him Everett Wentz or Carson Golson?

Looks like exactly how I described him. Mediocre today.

I think he meant what do you have that you are willing to part with...

Have you considered that NDSU is significantly sexier right now than UND? If UND made it(and a substantial pilgrimage was taking place), it would be a big deal and I'm sure the coverage would be plenty satisfactory.

I'm guessing if UND made it and had a major pilgrimage, that you'd see the same sort of deal going on.

I believe he said they would need a different stadium(remodeled one near campus) in place for the move. I don't think it'll happen. He seems pretty confident in it, most other folks are very skeptical. And if UND was FBS, and asked NDSU to play a neutral site game while NDSU was FCS, I think it'd be silly to turn down. That'd be a way bigger coup than getting them to go to Fargo twice while both schools are fcs. Again, I don't see any of this happening. But I'm a 22 year old with zero control over any of that.

They'd have their foundations buy enough tickets to get to the minimum is what he is saying. It's the Eastern Michigan model. The rule let's tickets sold count. I'm not involved in the NCAA so I don't know if it is something they would ever let happen. I think it's a dumb idea to go FBS with the intention of using sponsors or foundations to get to the minimum but if that's an avenue that is available and some schools choose to pursue it, that's their prerogative.

At least they could go hunting right after the game without changing

So what's your excuse then for being closer to the bottom of the hill than the top?

We'll see about SEC. I still think it's the toughest conference to win. I'm just happy my guys got that monkey off of their back by beating LSU.
