No kidding, it looked like Matt Z was mad that he didn't get assigned to the Mountain West Media Day in Los Vegas so he took it out on the Missouri Valley Media day in SF.

I haven't watched any of the coverage, but since NDSU announced, Zimmer and John Gaskins seemed to have taken a page out of the Fargo media book. Let's talk FBS into existence.

Of course. If the ag college of Fargo can be FBS, then THE University of North Dakota should have an FBS football program also. Put the plans in place, get it done. Win a couple FCS nattys in the interim. ndsu can’t run and hide from the state’s flagship university forever … although they’d like to.

The first half of the season won't tell us much except at Nebraska.   The first half is an incredibly easy schedule.   The real test comes down the stretch.   We have to make sure the gas tank is still full.

Good I like having a tougher schedule at the end either we are ready to be a playoff team or we aren't.

I would like to take a licking to USD at their place. Always a tough place for us to play. I haven’t regretted not attending the game at their place. Let’s turn it around this year! Time to head down there to watch us win!

Have gone a few times, easy to get a ticket, tailgating is enjoyable. If you look at last year's tape we lost by less than a touchdown and they scored a touchdown on a fluke play. We were the better team. They have a new QB this year.

Didn't Jerry get injured in Vermillion last year? He was never the same after that.

everything about this is sloppy.....just sayin'

Maybe they could find a local HS theater group to build/create a decent looking backdrop and stage it there. This looks pretty sad.

Nice to have some football talk!

The Article below didn't mention anything about Montre Samuels Parker. Did he get the okay to come back?

I swear the next lawsuit the NCAA wins will be the first they've won in a decade...

How many other FCS teams would be on an FBS invite list ahead of UND ?

I don’t think UNDs AD has the ability to think ahead .

ndsu kept saying they didn’t have any contact or heard from any FBS conferences about getting an invite, that was a bunch of bs , they had been working on that for a long time, why else did their coach stay, he knew what was coming
