Yup. Set all your d players 3 yards off. Thank you
Contrary to your belief, there isn't one of us that will be setting our players anywhere. Also the players aren't getting cocky, it's fans like you and others.

Sometimes I really think you guys believe you are going to be asked down to the field for advice one of these days.

12 days boys & gals. Will there be people up at 6 am for tailgating?

NO. Show up 10 minutes before kickoff.

We try to drive responsibly in Iowa. Tailgating is the practice of driving on a road too close to a frontward vehicle, at a distance which does not guarantee that stopping to avoid collision is possible. A minimum 2 second following rule (under optimal conditions) is recommended by driver handbooks, therefore tailgating can be defined as following closer than this distance.

I would absolutely love it if NDSU put up some of that "oil money" as an incentive to get Bama to play them so Bama could Roll Tide em into buffalo jerkey. I'd say that should shut some of them up but if the majority of them are like Lakes than I'm sure there would be a "valid" reason for why NDSU got smoked.
 
You don't replace 17 starters, or whatever it was, and a legend HC and not skip a beat, especially at the FCS level. I fully expect NDSU to be well coached and disciplined but they lost too many key players to what was their best team likely in their history.

But, NDSU is a dynasty. They hosted ESPN's college gameday for crying out loud!
 
why? and for the bold.. link?

If a team is looking to schedule an FCS school, you are most likely looking for an easy, warm up game which NDSU typically has not been. The games that have been scheduled currently for NDSU were scheduled before they started winning national championships, and they have been struggling to schedule FBS games since. Why not pay an FCS team you know for certain you can beat, since FCS wins are basically grouped the same and it's not like you move up the polls if you beat NDSU or if you beat some terrible FCS program. The big schools are not scared of NDSU nor do they think they will lose, but the possibility is there, and why take that chance like Minnesota has done twice and Kansas State last year.

Wisconsin is referenced in the link, but Nebraska gets the call out even more.

“I have talked to quite a few schools who say ‘Yes, we want an FCS game but we don’t want you guys,â€￾ Jorgenson said. “That conversation has occurred quite a few times with schools from the Power 5 conferences. That’s a product of our success.â€￾
