Re: 2011 Schedule

Well to say USD is crap is a little over the top, they do have 1 more FBS win than SDSU.........

Wasn't talking about USD

Re: 2011 Schedule

I think a game with Sioux Falls college and/or the other DII schools in state would be a good thing on a rotating bases, differnet school every year.


There are bigger schools in other states that do it.

Basketball, yes. Football, no. IMHO.

Re: 2011 Schedule

im also glad we didnt schedule a d2 team or some other cupcake. i want to go watch a competive game, not a 50-0 blowout. i would still get season tickets no matter who was scheduled but will enjoy an southern utah game more

NOT SMACK, FACT: Remember, NDSU plays in a dome. They might as well be an Arizona team in December games.

you obviously didn't see the MSU and EWU games

Re: 2011 Schedule

Playing home games in Dec. has to be high in the AD's wish list, because NOBODY would want to be here in Brookings (besides possibly the Big Sky teams/ NDSU).

The schedule is what it is, and if Jacks run well thru the schedule, they will be selected.

Re: 2011 Schedule

Only a Bison fan would use FBS wins as a measure of success/comparison instead of overall records or head to head.

Also

I would have been one of the first from Bison town here to congratulate you guys had you beat the gophers too BTW, I cheer for any FCS vs FBS except UND

and this is probably one of the most serious posts i've had on here

Well it isn't easy for a transitioning FCS team to beat ANY team from a BCS conference, seriously I'm not saying USD is a great team but they deserve more credit than Captain Morgan St or ANY NEC, Pionneer, Patriot, MEAC, SWAC school

BTW this quote is more smack than my original post

Re: 2011 Schedule

I don't sense any smack. Stating a fact that USD has an FBS win and we don't. It's okay to be confrontational in a non-smack thread and not to jump the gun so fast on deeming it smack.

Not a grumpy admin.

Re: 2011 Schedule

I think SUU is a good choice. The price was high because we had no choice. SUU won the Great West last year. I remember another school that won the Great West, and we didn't think it was a joke. I don't think SUU is a pushover though, which is kind of what we wanted. On the other hand we should have a really competitive game Sept. 3, which will get us ready for the rest of the schedule.

Re: 2011 Schedule

Townson is in the CAA so Nova had to play them, thats like people saying we played Ind. St the past couple years before this last one. Savannah St. is FCS, as well is Morgan St. and USD. I think that Savannah St. used to be some sort of rivalry w/ GSU but I could be wrong. I'm all for us playing a crap FCS, but scheduling a D2 is dumb because that makes the rest of your schedule harder because its like taking a game off the schedule when it comes to the playoff selection commitee.

Re: 2011 Schedule

Well, if you look at the schedule of the top programs, the ones who made the playoffs last year... that's not how it works... Eastern Washington played a D2 team. Delaware played West Chester. North Dakota State played Morgan State and USD. Georgia Southern played Savannah State. Villanova played Towson.

You can pretty much run through the FCS playoff field and you'll find that just about every team played some weaker or lower division opponent in an out-of-conference game. So while it's nice to say we should play these kinds of games... so should everybody else. But they don't. So we're at a disadvantage in the end.
