NDSU Adding Fall Game

[3rdCoastClone]

The Bison announced they're playing football this fall. Gaining a full month of practice too. Nice.

"NDSU's goal was to maximize opportunities to play games after the Missouri Valley Football Conference Presidents Council voted to move the conference schedule to the spring and allow schools, at their discretion, to play non-conference games this fall."

Good for them. Hell, probably get televised.

Wonder if this will gain traction elsewhere.

Your move Huskers.

Your move Huskers.

Hmmm... tempting but they might lose to the Bizon. Risky.

Bison head coach Matt Entz talking about his players....

"A lot of them were like, that's what we do at NDSU, we play football, so let's get back to work and get going. A lot of them probably were hoping things might change and it was good that we could make some decisions as a university and a football program. Up until this point, a lot of decisions were handed down to us."

Sounds like a winning program to me.

Would love to see a NDSU/UNI game as the only FCS game of the fall!

Bison were due to start the season at Oregon. That would have been fun to watch. I noticed our former NDSU AD and coach had no interest in picking them up this fall but took Arkansas State instead. Ha.

That always seams like a great matchup and I believe the Missouri Valley Football Conference is still planning their eight game conference schedule for the spring. Now that NDSU is the first to pick up a ninth game by scheduling teams in both the fall and spring seasons, might UNI consider doing the same thing?

I'll allow it.

The Bizon just operate at another level of FCS football. They do what the Huskers just squalck about!

FCS national championship game between NDSU and UNI!

Skip the preliminaries we call the regular season and the playoffs.

NDSU would beat Nebraska this season by at least 20 points. No way Nebraska schedules that game.

“Might”?
