Before you make yourself sound like blissfully ignorant NDSU fan, check your facts. 2013 home opener.2011BisonAlumni said:Maybe not NDSU, but they at least needed a good FCS team. Montana by itself, at least not the Montana of 2015 who will open they year ranked outside the top 15, playing a cupcake does not warrant a game by itself on ESPN. The App State game that you speak of was a playoff game, and, by the way, it was against App State. Pretty standard to have FCS playoff games on an ESPN channel and when you play against a dynasty like App State, it helps pull the game onto ESPN.
Regarding very few people caring about NDSU, I don't really care. FCS teams and fans should pull for other teams in the FCS instead of laughing at them and supporting fools like Andy. I am not being arrogant in my comments, just a realist. I think it is pathetic that fans like you try to tear down other FCS teams that help bring up the entire FCS into somewhat national relevance.
You are right . I forgot about that game. That game still supports my argument though. Playing App State helped make that game happen for Montana, just like NDSU does this year, and much like Montana would have for NDSU last year, had NDSU accepted ESPN's offer.
lol.....obviously life didn't exist for you up till 5 years ago. Montana has probably been on ESPN more times in last 20 years than NDSU.
Been a fan of NDSU since I can remember. I certainly would hope Montana has been on ESPN more times in the last 20 years seeing that in the last 20 years, NDSU spent 8 years as a D2 and has only been playoff eligible for 7 years. In the last 5 years though, they certainly have been making opportunities for themselves with 11 games on ESPN channels, 2 games on Fox Sports, and 2 times hosting ESPN Gameday.
