Yes it is impressive NDSU won 5 titles in a row, but it is not an all inclusive tourney for D1? So it is comparing apples and oranges. Granted UND has not won 5 in a row, but NDSU hasn't played a Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, Boston College, I think you get the point, in a tournament either. Plus at lower tier div 1-AA ftbl they get to play the first 2 or 3 games (hey, tip of my cap to ndsu for earning that right) at home and then play the final on a neutral field. Top tier div 1-A hockey doesn't operate that way. 2 Quote

I know there's a lot of small Eastern schools with successful FCS football programs like there are in D1 hockey. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think you can be a D2 or D3 school and be lower tier D1-AA/FCS in ftbl (unlike in hockey, e.g. UND prior to 2008). To play D1-AA ftbl you have to move your other sports up to D1-A I believe. Quote

Obviously a very bad hire. When an AD goes up the football coach and tells him to back off and not to score anymore(against UND) something just isnt right in his head. Quote

Jamestown Posted April 17, 2016 Posted April 17, 2016 TV Ratings The facts cannot be ignored. The 2015-16 FCS National Championship football game had more national TV viewers than ALL 3 games of the 2016 Frozen Four college hockey tournament. Frozen Four TV Ratings UND/Denver 361K BC/Quin 138 UND/Quin 541K Total 1.04M FCS TV Ratings NDSU/Jack St. 1.40M Quote

(and didn't even succeed at that!) Hm, I actually emailed him a couple of years ago to get my dad a signed photo for Christmas(they are both Harvey guys), and he was coaching at a college in New Jersey. Got a very warm welcome into the dome about ten or so years ago while coaching Northeastern. His wikipedia page shows a two year gap in employment in 2010-2011 where I suppose he could have maybe coached some high school ball? Quote

What I'd like to know though is this number of viewers for hockey, or households? When a Bison fan threw this at me before, I looked into it because I had a hard time believing it, and it turned out that comment hockey was reported by number of households, which equates to about a 2.4 multiple if you compare household to viewership. This could have changed, but if it hasn't, that puts the hockey national championship around a 1.3M rating. Not a lot of difference. Quote
UND1983 Posted April 17, 2016 Posted April 17, 2016 We all know football is way more popular than hockey and will draw viewers no matter what. Not sure why they keep trying to tell everyone? Quote

It feels really good over on this side, impervious to the dialogue. REAL Sioux fans know, it's not about the name, its the history and tradition of it. Take the name away, but you can't take away what it stood for. Chanting, Sioux forever, at the end of that game was just an epic way to end the year and show the country why we're the cream of the crop. NDSU is tops in FCS football in terms of fan following, so good on them, imagine if they were subject to a name change, they would react exactly the same, we're all North Dakotans and proud of our boys, and the history they've written. I can't put it any better than this so I won't try <slow clap> Quote

Popular Post MafiaMan Posted April 18, 2016 Popular Post Posted April 18, 2016 Rather than beat this kid with a sack full of potatoes, I personally think we should be heaping praise upon him. After all, it's likely the first time an NDSU student has been able to write or speak more than a full sentence without throwing in a "Sioux suck sh*t!" comment - something doctors have recently diagnosed as IBS, or Irritable Bison Syndrome (sometimes also referred to as BTS, Bison Tourettes Syndrome or MUTS, Moo U Tourettes Syndrome). Haters gonna hate, but I consider this feat by an NDSU student to be most impressive. 9 Quote
