exactly! I really do look forward to moving up hopefully in the next 5 years..

I'll be sad if we aren't playing CP or Sac anymore.

Sac is still a possibility if/when we go MWC. They'll have openings on their FBS Independent schedule! Gotta keep winning the rivalry games while we have them so that when they stop, we have the trophies in the building. Will need a new, Tahoe-themed one for Nevada since they're already bitching about that. Maybe the Golden Trout or something

The level of recruit also goes up in my opinion, even with the heavy academic standards - we'll be getting more guys who were looking at Stanford, Cal, Washington etc.

no way. P4 teams especially the Big 10 or SEC get the most elite athletes.

I think we will still get better recruits than being fcs

Yes, there's no doubt about it. What G5 has the best academics? Rice? I'm sure we could compete with them.

Yeah probably like Rice, SJSU or Uconn? Honestly of those schools Davis already has pretty similar quality facilities (maybe increase the football stadium by like 8-10K)

we're a better school than SJSU but they are still a good place to attend .

East Texas A&M getting razzed by Van Pelt.

Harvard up 21-14 at half with Princeton. Could they get a seed? Playing them in the playoffs could be fun and scary. I could see students attending for that game.

Harvard won. They are looking solid.

Time for the game of the week. I'm rooting for the Jackrabbits to support my coworker. But I just don't think SDSU is on the same level as NDSU this year.

CP is not getting blown out. Only down 13-3 at half.

20-3 now with 11 to go in 3rd. MSU outgaining them 307-80.

Ooph!

Probanly too little too late, but CP brings it to 27-10, then recovers a fumble and driving down the field.

TD CP! 27-17.

Doesnt seem like montana state is unbeatable

Agreed. If we can put a perfect game together, it's doable. Let's just not start from such a deficit this year.

well put. I also would like to see us heat up earlier in games but sometimes teams seem to just not be able to do that

What is happening with colorado

NDSU QB - long run. 6'3", 233# QB Cole Payton. He had 4 TDs rushing Saturday.

they brought in a lot of new players and it takes time to gel!

All roads seem to point to NDSU and a Tarleton showdown in the Final. Do upsets happen, especially in the playoffs?...absolutely, but man those two teams are very impressive.

How good / fast are our wideouts?

I know right? Things could be clicking for us on another level come playoff time, who knows - I do know that having to play on the road in Bozeman, in Brookings, in Fargo etc. etc. the playoff games that matter, it's big body, big boy football - while I love our team speed, the wrong venue, the wrong weather, it can all be nullified because we aren't posting up and going to get 50/50 balls. Dixon/Simpson will be huge for us down the stretch.

Can the Aggie defense continue to hold their ground against the rushing attacks of Montana State and Sac State?

Well they did lose twice this year already so I think we knew that already. LOL.

What did Marion say about officials to get fined?
