we got gisi and that’s about it

I've heard this narrative before. However, if Fargo really is The Center Of The Known Universe:

Why did it take them years to raise $$$$$ to renovate the old BSA?

Why aren't they FBS already?

Why haven't they built a newer, larger stadium?

The answer is that they aren't as big and powerful as they think they are. If people in Minneapolis-St. Paul were told what people in Imperial Cass County thought of themselves, they would laugh until they cried. Fargo is just another place in flyover country to people in larger cities and/or states. And to be honest, that isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Offut is a Concordia guy and Tharaldson is a Valley City State guy. Offut played FB at Concordia.  They are philanthropic but neither came across as an NDSU guy. I wouldn’t know for sure but having visited with both of them a few times at lunch/dinner or social functions I doubt they would waste money to move NDSU FB to FBS. They have donated to colleges for scholarships/buildings/academic programs.

This may be a bit of bias, but having lived in GF/Bis/Fargo, Fargo really is the epicenter of the state IMO.  With that said, so much money is being poured into growth that there isn't much left over for NDSU football outside of what the fleas (aka the bandwagon fans) spend.  The thing is, the fleas have been jumping off for a couple of years now and no one gives a flying F about NDSU football except a select few.  NDSU was a fun social thing in town for some because it was new and exciting, but the novelty has worn off and no one cares...even the last couple of years when they won their last JV FBS titles.  You used to see every single-brain-celled individual wearing NDSU shi...l mean stuff...at one point, and no one wears anything anymore.  NDSU is like the Yeti Cooler of no name football....overpriced and a waste of time and money when you find out you're getting scammed.  That's why FBS hasn't happened and won't happen.

Has anybody ever heard of Hack City?

I stumbled upon their show on YouTube.  Obviously I was searching and clicking on so much UND stuff that this popped up.  They do a rundown of the FCS, presumably every week, but this is the first time for me.  They talk about our game at the top of the show.

Thanks for posting this; very interesting.

Fargo being the epicenter of ND does not mean NDSU is the standard of higher education or collegiate athletics in the state; certainly doesn’t mean it is the flagship. There are countless examples around the country where the largest metropolitan center of the state is not home to the most thriving university and/or collegiate athletic department in the state.

One thing they touched on about NDSU is that they haven't fully recovered from the COVID year, which is something I touched on in whatever thread it was back when Trey Lance declared for the draft.  I said that Trey's decision would help bring parity to the FCS, which it seems to have done.

Well I am still basking in the win AND smiling every time I think of it!!   This will last naybe 12 to 24 months.

It doesn’t quit…. Came up on my cell phone feed from KVRR (?) “Bison fall out of the top 10 first time since 2011. entered on what needs to be fixed.”

Ross sure spent a lot of time in Grand Forks for being a NDSU student, I wish I could find a photo of him with a Sioux jersey on…….

I think he was actually a Cobber?

When is the last time an NDSU has had a "Players only" meeting?!!  Got to admit watching all this go down in Fargo right now is very entertaining!!

Maybe our new nickname should be the Tennants, since we seem to be living rent free in NDSU's head now.

Moving forward mid-season? I guess they did not have their Juice with this weekend….

I just realized that NDSU ends their season at SDSU, vs SIU, and at UNI. That’s 3 potential slug fests to end things after two cupcakes. I expect them to bounce back strong but we shall see what SDSU does to them.

I’ll be honest, I expect a UND/NDSU rematch this postseason and worry history (1995) may repeat itself, but we’ll see.

But NDSU fans don't care about UND.  We aren't their rival.  Clearly losing to UND didn't really move the needle much.

I think the most likely way we meet them in the playoffs is if we are a seeded team and they are not, or vice versa.  If both end up playing Thanksgiving weekend, they can't play each other, and one of them is pretty much guaranteed to go to Brookings in the 2nd round.

I hope we meet in the playoffs and have a slugfest.

As long as UND wins, whether by 1 point or 40, that’s all that matters.

A post-season rematch entered my mind as well.  Maybe a 1994 style playoff game.

I see Tony is having another childish meltdown over on BV.  Saying our staff is negative recruiting haha. 
 

maybe they should ask why Entz is telling parents that their son can graduate from NDSU with a physical therapy degree for sure, so commit to us.  Uhhh…..

[UND Football Fan]

I remember both playoff games.
 

1995 UND team was depleted at corner had a short corner compared to Cheatham on the other side. That was the year Rob Berthiaume passed prior to start of season.

1994 playoff game was a defensive battle.
