NDSU's QB Carson Wentz is the "belle of the ball" he is being mock drafted at #2 overall, #4 and mainly TOP 10. Has any MWC school had a kid go that high or seen this much hype on? Alex Smith went #1 in '05. It gives me a headache just trying to think down to your level Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanforHeisman Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Darian Thompson is ranked as the #1 S going into the draft.. Probably not a first round pick, but will gone by the 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NevadaFan Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Mississippi Valley State produced one of the best players in NFL history. I think the MWC should lock that program up - for the Mtn. Division of course... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is there any legitimate momentum within the NDSU administration to compete at the 1-A level? You and a few other message board posters are the only ones I have read that are discussing moving up as an option. I don't see national writers talking about it. Is the Forum even discussing it? The run has been great for NDSU and they have received a lot of national press (none about moving up that I have read) and deservedly so. Have there been any feasibility studies on what it will do to the university or how expenses would be covered with the bump up? What sports would be added for Title IX with the increase in football scholarships? By the way, are there any plans for NDSU to upgrade their library? That should be priority #1 for the administration in Fargo if they want to be considered a major regional university. @lakesbison No rebuttal?

Yes the NDSU admin & booster club has visions of moving up, they are waiting for the invite...(they think MWC will just drop 1 on them) I think they need to go AFTER the MWC with strippers, blow & strippers as incentive! No Feasibility studies as of yet, they say once we get an invite, the study will be done but dont want to waste money until then: Sports added would be Swimming/Diving , Equestrian. NDSU library had a facelift last year but 50 million was just spent on a STEM building. NDSU has 8 current NFL players and are sending 2 to the NFL combine, Wentz should go top 5 and LT Joe Haeg 6 6 315 going 2nd-3rd round Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lakesbison Posted February 12, 2016 Author Share Posted February 12, 2016 well, lets face facts MAC/Sun Belt wont invite NDSU because they would be the top football team the minute they signed on. Mountain West would rather have football stadiums half empty with zero atmosphere than a guaranteed sold out every game at NDSU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NDSU 8-3 vs FBS teams, beating kansas st, colorado st, minnesota, iowa st , kansas. NDSU only seats 19,000 (sold out last 5 years before the season started) but its amazing and loud & could expand to 22,500 (MWC averages 23,500) NDSU has new $44 million basketball arena, basketball team been to back to back Big Dances. NDSU deserves a MWC invite, Fargo flies to Denver/Salt Lake City couple times a week, make it happen! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nIqTcbDq088 Video of Football opening.... atmosphere beats ANY in MWC outside Boise St https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4u-UO8OlH84 NDSU on ESPN Gameday twice... whens last time MWC had them? You sure you want in? I mean, we've got some pretty sheety officiating going on in this conference. The World Needs More Cowboys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't know anything about attendance, especially in the MWC. In the last 5 years you've averaged in the low-mid 18's. Your Kibbie Dome+ only holds 19k. That's roughly a half full stadium in the MWC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lakesbison Posted February 13, 2016 Author Share Posted February 13, 2016 Mr Convert below are "paid" attendance (not butts in seats). NDSU would be above SJSU, WYOMING & UNLV.....and Very close to UNM UN USU.... PLUS NDSU is sold out before the season starts with 3000+ waiting list Mountain West Conference Attendance: Boise State – 33,612 San Diego State – 29,066 Fresno State – 29,036 Air Force – 26,026 Colorado State – 24,917 Hawaii – 23,433 New Mexico – 22,562 Nevada – 22,170 Utah State – 21,362 UNLV – 19,371 Wyoming – 18,060 San Jose State – 15,312 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
