Jeremy_und2004 Posted September 14, 2013 Posted September 14, 2013 Well looks like ESPN is going to Fargo. As much as I dont want to say it, very cool opportunity for NDSU. http://www.sbnation....ge-gameday-espn Quote
Herd Posted September 14, 2013 Posted September 14, 2013 Yes, it is a cool deal, and would be a good opportunity for UND fans to fy a few ND flags too on their bye week. Hopefully it will be a good atmosphere in Fargo for Gameday. 1 Quote

Hopefully it will be a good atmosphere in Fargo for Gameday. Not according to Aces from BV: http://www.bisonville.com/forum/showthread.php?31079-Gameday-Sign-Ideas/page10 I've seen a couple posts from UN_ fans saying they are going to wear their hockey jerseys to the event... If that is the case, they damn well better not be offended when people tell them they SUCK.... ESPN even said they are in Fargo not only for NDSU but for the entire FCS. UND is in the FCS why would they chant Sioux Suck just for being there, unless the UND fans are there with shirts that say Buck The Fison. Quote
fightingsioux4life Posted September 14, 2013 Posted September 14, 2013 Would this have anything to do with all the drama at Texas A&M surrounding their spoiled-rotten sophomore QB? Is that why they wouldn't do their show from the site of what is arguably the game of the week in FBS (Alabama at Texas A&M)? Just a theory. Quote

Is that why they wouldn't do their show from the site of what is arguably the game of the week in FBS (Alabama at Texas A&M)? Just a theory. Alabama and A&M are playing right now. Gameday will be at NDSU next week. So no, that's not the reason. It more has to do with the fact that there are no ranked teams playing each other next week. Quote

Didn't you hear the biggest game of the week is next week....Delaware State at NDSU. Quote
fightingsioux4life Posted September 14, 2013 Posted September 14, 2013 Didn't you hear the biggest game of the week is next week....Delaware State at NDSU. Okay, gotcha. Thanks for clarifying. I shouldn't post after taking a Saturday afternoon nap! Quote
Wilbur Posted September 14, 2013 Posted September 14, 2013 Very very cool thing for them to do. I remember a few years ago when they went to a DIII school, just huge for everyone involved. Guess this could spew a little rivalry up between UND and NDSU. Plenty of UND grads running things in Fargo, and I'm sure one or two will show up. PS: Are there really no good games going on next weekend in the big boy division? Quote

Michigan State and Notre Dame is probably the highest profile one, but you know gameday will have at least one other game featuring ND so it's not necessary to do one next week. Quote

Plus to recognize all of the FCS why not NDSU since they are the 2 time defending NC. Quote

Yeah, plus Notre Dame was one of the schools involved last week in Ann Arbor. I'm kind of anxious to see where they decide to set up shop for the show. Maybe the south end where the Fargo Marathon stuff got started when I ran it a few years ago. Don't think there is much room on the west side with all the tailgaiting that goes on over there. Like I said, very cool thing for them to do. UND is off next week, maybe they'll interview Muss.....hahahaha....okay....never mind. Quote

Mention it once will be fine but not during the whole game. Quote
jdub27 Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 Being broadcast live from the Fargodome downtown Fargo... Quote
tho0505 Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 This is great for the state and will benefit all Div 1-aa. 1 Quote
Oxbow6 Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 This is great for the state and will benefit all Div 1-aa. This is a huge deal...I believe only 3 or 4 other times since Gameday has been in existance have gone to a non-FBS campus. And that gap between UND and NDSU FB widens even further... Quote
UNDBIZ Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 Being broadcast live from the Fargodome downtown Fargo... What a joke. It's still great for them, I just don't get the choice of location in Fargo though. Quote
Let'sGoHawks! Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 What a joke. It's still great for them, I just don't get the choice of location in Fargo though. I wouldn't want to be on the streets of Fargo between their downtown and the Fargodome on Saturday! Quote
jodcon Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 Being broadcast live from the Fargodome downtown Fargo... Why wouldn't they set it up near the tailgating? Or anywhere close to the stadium for that matter? Seems like it will dull the atmosphere a little to me. Quote
jdub27 Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 What a joke. It's still great for them, I just don't get the choice of location in Fargo though. Has definitely caused quite a meltdown which is entertaining though I'd much rather argue about that than the job status of our FB coach. Quote
homer Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 I heard about this in the Fargo airport this morning. Seems to be gaining some legs to being true. Not a good location. Quote
jdub27 Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 I heard about this in the Fargo airport this morning. Seems to be gaining some legs to being true. Not a good location. Has already been confirmed by multiple sources including the NDSU athletic department. Quote
Siouxperfan7 Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 So we just get blown out at home in probably the worst home loss in decades and everyone is calling for the coaches head and ESPN College Gameday is going to Fargo to talk about the two time defending FCS National Championship NDSU Bison. The gap between the two programs could not be further apart!! 3 Quote

The gap between the two programs could not be further apart!! You equate a few people on a chat room to "everyone". Step back from the ledge. I think we should start a money pool for the student(s) that can get UND sign/shirt/logo on camera during the program. Quote
siouxkid12 Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 well i just saw on facebook (https://www.facebook.com/pages/Move-ESPN-College-Gameday-to-NDSU-Campus/1415808241975922 ) that NDSU fans are upset that college gameday is in downtown fargo and not by the dome. what a bunch of babies Quote
Siouxperfan7 Posted September 16, 2013 Posted September 16, 2013 well i just saw on facebook (https://www.facebook...415808241975922 ) that NDSU fans are upset that college gameday is in downtown fargo and not by the dome. what a bunch of babies I guess with 2 loses in the last 2 years and 2 Championships to boot, Bison football fans need something to complain about!! What's next, complaining that the championship banner at the Fargodome is getting to cluttered all the years they kepp having to put on it?!!! Quote
