Okay, let me break it down for Lakes and the rest of the Bison fans:
1. After ISU wins, nobody will bat an eye. National media will not give the story two minutes, as no one cares about an FBS school beating an FCS school. We'll go into another 3-4 NATIONALLY televised games while NDSU will wallow in obscurity the rest of the year. NDSU will try to get to the FCS NC game, but might trip for a second time against UNI. ISU will continue on to try to get to a bowl game (which will probably still get higher TV ratings than the FCS NC game).
2. IF NDSU happens to win, again, nobody will bat an eye outside of NDSU, as it will not be as big an upset as the win over KSU. The national media will not give a crap. ISU will still go on to it's NATIONALLY televised 3-4 games and still try to get to a bowl game. NDSU might still get to an FCS NC game and try to become 4-time king of the nobodies.
Either way, NDSU will remain in obscurity all season long and go back to playing games televised on ESPN8 (the Ocho). Bison fans need this game more than we do. This is their superbowl. To us, just one more game on the schedule. We have bigger fish to fry (Texas, OU, Baylor, KSU).
Rant over...
