Let's bake it up on Saturday man.

Does the ISU coaching staff have any ties with Liberty? Interesting schedule pick up, good one too. We used to take trips to Texas and Youngstown and the Northeast. Not anymore of course.

There is some added luster to NDSU right now as they sit in the FCS level of football. They're perennial Championship contenders and play a hard nosed, high level of football that landed their former quarterback a Top 5 overall pick and now currently starts for the Philadelphia Eagles.

Winning a ton of games in FCS is more fun than being mediocre in a mid-level FBS conference - and I dare say it's healthier in that the pounding you take every week isn't as rough as that of a FBS schedule. However, that kind of beating is what the NFL looks for, those who possess the toughness to play at a high level through pain against the best college competition. There's a reason why the vast majority of NFL draftees and UDFAs are from the FBS programs.

Here's some film for you, check out the block by #87 (Fells) at 5:24. Blows out the DE, Doris with the easy run for a TD.

That's great news! Glad they caught it before it got out of control!

How is Daniel Fells doing? I know he had some serious health ailments later in his NFL career that took him out of the game.

Plainfield Station is a slice of heaven on earth.

Moving up in conferences can be a financial burden, as good as NDSU is at playing football (and a decent basketball team), you have to fund things across the board and upgrade across the board. Money, Money, Money

Some say the MAC (nearest school is about 600 miles away), some say the Mountain West - nobody has called the Bison about joining (can't imagine they want the Bison all over their butts in football, which is exactly what would happen).

We'll we're not as big as those guys, but we'll make up for it by being slower. I can remember an Aggiedad joking about that from his playing days back in the 70's. Always slower, always smaller, but more united and together than any team they ever played.

Whatever's on that EWU tape, I hope we do that.

We sure did. Good news, the option is designed to take advantage of one defensive mistake. if the assignments can be stuck to, you've got a good chance to stomp it out. Poly can pound it, give them a yard they'll take 5, every time. Have to be sound on D.

We're heading down to SLO this weekend, this will serve as a side recruiting trip no doubt to the central coast and LA area.
