I think we may
Absolutely and I think ILSU would win it this year.

PLEASE NDSU LOOSE!!!!!
-
Based upon what transpired today, I would be surprised if NDSU could defeat Illinois State on a neutral field. But Illinois State must stay focused and overcome the experience of playing on a high school field in New England next week.
-
That team that plays in the high school stadium in New England has made the playoffs 11 years in a row.
-
New Hampshire is VERY GOOD. I watched their game on Friday against UTC. Both teams are very good. Yes, UNH has a crappy stadium. As nova75 pointed out, they have also made the playoffs 11 years in a row, and this year are the #1 seed. So, ISU gets to go play in the cold and snow in New Hampshire. Also, the student section at UNH games really gets into the games. Very hard place to win for a road team
UNH has been ranked in the Top 25 for 184 straight weeks, the longest streak in FCS. Second is Montana State at 74.... Second in consecutive playoff appearances is NDSU at 5
UNH has now won 14 games in a row at home....42-4 since start of 2007 season...23 of last 24.... 33-2 in last 35 games at home... Over the last 11 years, 7 seasons with at least 9 wins... 6 seasons with at least 10 wins... the other 4 years, 8 wins in 3 of the seasons and 7 in the other... HC who is a Finalist for Coach of The Year, and in his 16th year as HC.... 112-43 over the last 11 years, including 12-1 this year.
And, they have plans for a brand new, state of the art facility. Construction will start in 2015 and be finished in 2016.
Give me the "high school stadium", 11 straight trips to playoffs, 184 straight weeks in Top 25, 42-4 at home since 2007, 2nd consecutive trip to FCS semi-finals any day, over Stambaugh Stadium, 1 trip to playoffs last 11 years, well more than 4 losses at home since 2007, and not even having a Head Coach.
Plus, come 2016, UNH will have a brand new, state of the art facility, and YSU will have a 34-35 year old stadium, that looks like it still has not been finished. And, who knows if YSU will be a playoff team either of the next 2 seasons?
The facility will offer increased and improved seating, lights which will allow for night games, state-of-the art broadcast and WiFi capability, concessions, restrooms, social and gathering areas and a special student section.

I saw EKU received a $15 million gift and is expanding their facility for 2016
-
Looking at UNH roster they do very well in Pennsylvania especially the Allentown area and even Pittsburgh.....
-
EKU is starting the football stadium renovations soon they spent 5 million on the basketball coliseum and are going to spend 15 million on the football stadium to increase capacity to 28,000. They are planning to move up to FBS around 2017 I think
-
NDSU -15
ISU R -4
*** we are all hoping for an ALL-MVFC final up here in Bisonation **
NDSU has been a different team last 2 weeks with 2 All Americans done, LB Travis Beck & WR Zach Vraa....it has hurt us ALOT especially on defense.
I look for a breakout game this week vs Sam Houston and roll into frisco for #4!

How many butts in the seats do you guys get?
-
Sorry Lake. One of the few joys I have had in my trips to YSU games in to stare at our 4 Sears trophies. Even though I know that GSU has 6, the only one they have gotten since ours was against us & they are no longer I-AA. It is one of the few joys I have left. So don't take this the wrong way way, but "GO SHS". Here is to hoping that you move up before you get another

I've been to about as many EKU games as YSU games in the last 5 years. I've never seen anymore than about 3K butts in the stands. By the looks of the Indy State game they had about 1K.
-
EKU was in the power of the 80's, while we were the power of the 90's. Heck Tressel left the OVC because he could not beat EKU and get an invite. Smart move. Also, Hood would have been a great hire here.
-
The UNH stands themselves look fine but who puts a track around the field? Is it a design from 1950? I'd take our stadium over that any day.
-
any of you guys watching this game? ILS has no chance to beat UNH and UNH has no chance to beat NDSU. Come on Redbirds!!! NDSU did what we did a few times ...coasted in to the title game from the easy west bracket.
-
Looks like Illinois State has learned to tackle by studying the YSU defense.
-
ISUr 21 UNH 18 F
ISUr vs NDSU for MVFC Championship (oh and the fcs championship as well)
-
I really thought that Illinois State had squandered their opportunity in the first half when they scored only six points during four trips into the red zone. This is good news for those who, like IAA Fan and me, would prefer that NDSU not gain four titles.
I know that some folks in North Dakota are saying that they wanted an all MVFC title game. I think those fans are lying or know very little about football. Illinois State will be, by far, the strongest team that NDSU has faced in Frisco.
When the championship ends, the record will show that the MVFC finished 10-4 in the playoffs. That is highly misleading since the conference will finish 7-1 in games not involving each other. And that comes after the single loss to FCS competition in the regular season. That is simply incredible.
-
darn
-
Roberson and Coprich are lethal. Secondly, their second half defensive adjustments got them this W.
Go Redbirds!
-
Half time adjustments ? I havn't seen them in years. Are they still legal ? ??? ??? ??? ???

Never heard of them.

EKU had a couple of games this year with the attendance of 16,000 The playoff game was played when the students were on break and the weather was terrible. they are averaging around 10 to 12,000. Also coach Hood wanted a contract extension but was told no.
-
...coach Hood wanted a contract extension but was told no.
Funny. We were courting a guy that EKU rejected.
Thank God Tressel took control of the search process and landed Bo.

Are these numbers butts in the seats or tickets sold? If butts in the seats, and I hope so. I am impressed. We were selling those many tickets but nowhere near that many came .

I think some of you guys were too swept away with some of the local reports of Hood. He may have been our #2, but Scott Roussel from FootballScoop.com knew Pelini was the guy 1 week before he officially came on board.
The local reporters saying we had little chance, or 10% chance of landing Bo, did not have the sources Scott had. Many were criticizing Scott, but Tressel and Pelini asked him to hold off further reporting since he already had it out in the open until everything was finalized. The only holdup was getting those commitments from the local $ folks in writing, or this would have been done late last week.
From what I've gathered, the Hood rumors of being the front-runner were simply not true.

According to Scalzo:
"Eastern Kentucky’s Dean Hood appears to have been Plan B"
http://www.vindy.com/news/2014/dec/21/how-ysu-landed-pelini/
It sounds like we were REAL close to getting a coach from the eighth ranked FCS conference with a worse recent W/L % than the guy we fired.....and apparently rejected by EKU.
Again....thank God that Tressel took the keys away from Strollo and put him in the back seat in his baby seat.....where inept ADs belong......

Nice cheap shot. Apparently you can't read because Strollo was handing much of the behind the scenes work, as is clearly evidenced by Scalzo's article.
Some of you folks never cease to amaze me.

Did Strollo have contact with Pelini? Of course, he is the AD. I guess that could be construed as "behind the scenes work." But Pelini made it clear WHO lured him to YSU:
From the Scalzo article:
"Pelini made it clear that Tressel made the job more attractive."
From the thread of Pelini quotes:
"Said Tressel was a big reason why he took the job, wants to learn a lot from him, since he has an understanding of how to coach on this level."
Scalzo has become a Strollo apologist, I suspect for access reasons, and completely omitted the fact that Tressel personally flew to Lincoln to court Pelini. It is a significant oversight that, IMO, impacts Scalzo's credibility. Regardless, it is clear through Bo's words that Tressel was paramount in his decision to coach at YSU.
-
FWIW....I heard Tressel gave Strollo a sippy cup and a juice box after putting him in his baby seat....and then changed his diaper because he went wee wee.

Those were actual butts in the seats

Nation, just so you are clear. Had Ron Strollo said "no" to Bo. Pelini would not be here right now. Tressel is so far removed from Sports at this point and you obviously have no idea.
You are the same people that said Strollo should keep a short leash on Wolf ..well he did & you still complained about the one year extension. Strollo's leash on Pelini is even shorter.

As detailed above, Tressel had an active and vital role in the recruitment of Pelini.
We should be glad that Strollo didn't say "no" to a winning BIG coach considering an FCS school??? :o What??!! :o Even by Strollo standards that would be a whole new level of ineptitude. If he did such an outlandish thing, he should have been immediately terminated and unemployable as an AD anywhere.
I agreed w/ the contract extension of the Wolf (and wrote about it on this forum) as the Wolf record was one of continual progress. I agreed w/ his termination....but began to have second thoughts when Strollo was courting candidates w/ inferior records to the Wolf. It would have been insanity to replace Wolf w/ an inferior product with an inferior resume.
-
Obviously, but Strollo clearly does not need Tressel to tell him this. Jim Tressel in not your AD and makes few-to-no athletic decisions. He has little-to-no athletic involvement.
The candidates interviewed that were less than Wolf in tenure, but above Wolf in their history with YSU. They deserve an interview & should always be given one. FYI, Hood was so much more than Wolf.

PLEASE NDSU LOOSE!!!!!
Give it up Dan! NDSU is a FBS team in an FCS league. If UNH held ISU (r) to 21 I don't see the Red Birds scoring a bunch on NDSU. Actually, I think "IF" ISU (r) played Costal Carolina they would have lost.
NDSU 38-17
