Bison Dan Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Are you another one of those kool aid drinking bisonville members ? Just because one article states that They think it will happen doesn't mean it even has a small chance. The nation of college football will not even hear about the bison in the headlines this year because they have no fbs game. Keep dreaming man! The country cares about fbs teams. If it did happen both teams would Need to be undefeated which means UNI would have to beat Iowa Gee S>B put your jealousy on hold a minute. We played Del. State on one of our GameDays so UNI with a loss is no big deal. Our game with UM is the first game of the year and I imagine most college FB fans will be watching.

jdub27 Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I imagine most college FB fans will be watching. Calm down the hyperbole a little bit Dan. Most college FB fans? Yes, you are imagining. If you're right (hint: you aren't), I guess that means the ratings should be comparable to the major bowl games then, since those are games that most college FB watch? If the ratings from last year's FCS kickoff game are any indication, you couldn't be more wrong if you tried. Hopefully they don't spend the whole game talking about the P5 schools again.

Siouxperfan7 Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Oh really? Somehow a prediction from a USC rube who writes for SB Nation four plus months in advance means something? I'd argue with his idea that there aren't any big games that week when Oklahoma and Texas play along with Miami/FSU, Wisconsin/Nebraska, Arkansas/Alabama or Georgia/Tennessee among others. He also thought that Baylor played in Baylor, Texas before fixing it. NDSU v UNI is a much more intriguing matchup nationally!! If I had to predict for that week, I would say that the GameDay crew will be in Lincoln that week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homer Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 I wouldn't write off a return trip to Fargo cause it looks good on TV and the city treats the Gameday crew really good. One thing I'll give FU fans credit for is they find something on the internet and run with it as gospel. My prediction for that week is Fort Worth, TX for Kansas St. vs. TCU. only because I'm predicting they will be in SEC country the week before at the Alabama vs. Georgia game. This guy should have wrote that the PAC12 has off that week, there are some good college football games Week 6. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our game with UM is the first game of the year and I imagine most college FB fans will be watching. Montana vs NDSU will be a really entertaining game. Looking forward to that one actually. My in-laws are huge Bison fans, so I tend to watch more Bison games than I otherwise would. I know alot of Bison fans are glad College Gameday appears to be set for the week against UNI, but gotta admit, the environment would have been epic if it had been against UND. Fargo has already had such a good showing for those events, that adding all of the visiting fans traveling from GF and the surrounding areas would have made a great environment even better. Tailgating for that game will be fun, but gameday would be even more fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wow, how hard is the forum up for actual journalists? I thought this was a joke until I went to inforum and there is an online story. Correct me if I am wrong but isn't SB Nation one of those sites where anyone can write an article and give their opinion? Any journalists who is using that to put in an actual paper is a little concerning, they are basically message boards with articles. It's literally just someones opinion, with no actual evidence of anything correct? If that is the case they could have looked at Sioux Sports and Bisonville and said "so and so poster on Sioux Sports is predicting the UND vs. NDSU game will be a gameday game." Not very professional in my opinion, but journalism is kind of going that way these days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cratter Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 I'd be very surprised if Game day went to a FCS school 3 years in a row. Not much left to talk about. I don't see it happening. No "NDSU just beat a FBS team again" talk this year. But itd would be cool if it did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No "NDSU just beat a FBS team again" talk this year. But itd would be cool if it did. Honestly I didn't.... And I don't think many saw it coming again last year. Iowa State was a joke. I legitimately think they came because, yes, NDSU beat another FBS team, and they had a great showing the original GameDay and nothing was going on that week. The way I see it, NDSU is a great fallback option as long as NDSU is winning.... And the people show up to make a good atmosphere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UNDColorado Posted June 4, 2015 Share Posted June 4, 2015 Random question- My brother who is a NDSU fan wants to propose a bet with me on the upcoming game. Has anyone seen any predicted spread of this game? (or is it even out yet) Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone seen any predicted spread of this game? (or is it even out yet) Thanks Nothing out yet. Doubtful you'll see anything ahead of time either. However, Massey's ratings shows the "Most Likely" score at 38-3. No clue what his preseason stuff is based on, particularly for FCS. I'd show him that and take the 35 points all the way to the bank. FU fans are very vocal on how important computer rankings (Sagarin, Massey, etc) are when they are favorable to them, no reason they should trust them to help set a line. http://www.masseyratings.com/game.php?s0=279541&t0=North+Dakota&h=-1&s1=279541&t1=North+Dakota+State 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

geaux_sioux Posted June 4, 2015 Author Share Posted June 4, 2015 Massey ratings are not accurate til midway through the season. At the beginning of the year it just uses last seasons stats. So right now is the most accurate prediction of how the game would've played out last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to bring a new offer to the table! I do too but at least it gives you a third party source to get all the points you can. Massey ratings are not accurate til midway through the season. At the beginning of the year it just uses last seasons stats. So right now is the most accurate prediction of how the game would've played out last year. I won't disagree but I believe there was a lot of chest thumping going on about how Massey's preseason strength of schedule came out. If you're going to claim that as accurate, then no reason to not follow the same logic for the score prediction. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it helped to keep beating the FBS teams, but I think it had even more to do with the turnout they got the first time around. If NDSU does get it again, it would be really fun to have it be on UND NDSU weekend, just because the turnout would increase by even more which would be fun. BUT the stars would really have to align for that to happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone seen any predicted spread of this game? (or is it even out yet) Thanks Bisonswille has it probably at 80-0 for FU, I am predicting 14 points for the winner (hopefully UND) barring any major injuries in the Wyoming and Drake games I think UND can play them tough especially on defense, it's the offense that's queationable, but we will know more after the first 2 games where this team is headed.
