yes it was leaked yesterday that this year was the year and the committee saw a chance to scale back on the MVFC entries. They said two max. Why not, conference is not that good, we let the same team win every year. People are bored. It was just like Delaware and the A10. Then the NCAA started to snoop around & they have been past tense (until this year) for quite some time. I am sure if the NCAA decided to set their sites on NDSU, they would fade away as well.
YSUGO:
Are you saying that the Bison are doing illegal stuff.
IAA Fan:
Probably no more than anyone else, but if the NCAA was given reason to "observe" the program...as with any other, things would change. Just as they did for Georgia Southern, Delaware, YSU, Appalachian State. The rest of NDSU's dominance is location and the simple fact that no one is willing to commit to playing the same style of ball (as NDSU) for a chance to win one game a year. Same advantage that we used to have when we were an independent team. I mean if a team lines up and play's smash-mouth, it is going to take 3-4 years to become good at it. That is 3-4 years of sub-.500 seasons. What AD/HC is willing to do that to their program and careers? Do you guys remember when ISU was still an option team when we first joined the Gateway? They were the only one left and everyone had trouble with them. Why does even a weak YSU team match up well against NDSU? Because we play the most similar style of ball. As to NDSU, let's be honest ...no program is that good. It is just not statistically possible. Even if a team dedicated themselves to defeating NDSU, the Bison can afford to lose 3 games and still make the post-season, so why would they care? It would require a conference to dedicate themselves to focusing on one team (not going to happen). All of this adds up to dominance.
FOOTBALLFEVER:
Duquesne defeats #16 Towson 31-10 in the opening round of the playoffs. The Northeast conference continues to recruit and steal players from YSU on a yearly basis
Penquin68:
I see that Northern Iowa won 16-13. Watched some of the game on line and the Lamar field goal kicker missed 2 makeable field goals and an extra point. Northern Iowa could have easily lost.
Other teams in the playoffs do not look like they could be better than us. We need to just get in.
