It has nothing to do with being afraid. Where did I say don't schedule them?
I said act like a Big 12 team and don't GIVE THEM ROAD GAMES!
Again, Florida hosts Toledo tomorrow. Please tell me when the return game is? Oh wait, they are Florida tehy wouldn't ******* dream of going to Toledo.
If you want to make it about money then tell me why fans selling out season tickets isn't enough support financially to have the program act like they are in the Big 12.
3 extremely stupid return games are on future schedules. One of them not only just beat us in the bowl BUT winning the 3rd rubber game of the series will the WORTHLESS nationally after BGSU just packed their **** in.
I'd love to hear what you think the program has to gain by going to Tulsa, Toledo, and San Jose and if beating those teams in their house will get ANY positive attention to the program? All it takes is 200k extra to not have to go to their place. And as I said the fans have completely done their part in acting like a big time program, its time for the AD to follow suit.
It is going to look that much worse when we lose to them. The toughness of our schedule is going down the toilet as well.
(yes this is overly pessimistic on game day)
I would think with the way we ended the season last year, against West Virginia and Tulsa, the team would be almost frantic to make amends, starting with the first game of the season!Oh, and this doesn't change a damn thing for our prep or attitude. If they went through the motions in practice this week and just thought we'd be able to beat UNI tonight because we're in the Big 12 we're going to be in for a long game tonight. I'm guessing they were just as focused in practice this week as they would've been if we were playing any Big 12 team on the schedule.
"Frantic to make amends"??? I'd think they'd be determined to kick some butt!I would think with the way we ended the season last year, against West Virginia and Tulsa, the team would be almost frantic to make amends, starting with the first game of the season!
I guess that if we are going to move forward "anywhere anytime" is ok. If you are fearful of the road, the team, the weather, the cheerleaders, the popcorn man then your approach is understandable.It has nothing to do with being afraid. Where did I say don't schedule them?

Was glad to see UConn lose also. :smile:Every year in these first few weeks, an FCS team beats an FBS team. If last night's Kstate game was any kind of a wake up call, you haven't been paying attention to college football the last decade. Hell, in 2 days of games this year, its already happened to Kstate and UCONN. If it took last nights kstate game to get our heads on straight, CPR and Co haven't been doing their job. Besides, any ISU Fan should already know better than to take UNI(or anyone) lightly. It wasn't that long ago they beat us.
Honestly, no one gives 2 ***** about strength of schedule unless you are in the national title race. 6+ wins are 6+ wins, regardless of who its against.
And because Jamie Pollard knew that we would be selling out games and fan interest would be at an all time high when we played these games.You're right!! We are a prestigious program with many National Titles in a great location just like the Gators. Why are we playing at Toledo? And Pollard should have known years ago when these schedules were made that NDSU would beat 4 BCS teams in a row and win FCS titles left and right. He's obviously not doing his job, off with his head!
I wonder if he threw up all 20 hot dogs he ate on game day as wellI bet the K-State Mask wishes he had a time machine.....
