if NDSU was FBS we'd have 22 more scholarships and even more depth. We cool, no worries
Wyoming is a terrible job your coach left you for. Noone can recruit to Laramie or win there and he dumped a 3 time national champ to go 4-8 every year. Did he even get a pay raise? If you were that great of a 1AA in the big picture beyond just wins and losses (your titles are legit I don't want to take anything away from that) why didn't you go 1A? GA St, Charlotte, So Bama Ole Dom, UMass, UTSA... How come you didn't join them and take a step up in the world???
You too scared that if you leave 1AA the big bad Sioux will take your spot of beating up on nobodies?
Sadly what is really embarrassing for ISU is that people will actually celebrate on here smoking NDSU like it matters. When the score is 41-24 and everyone is talking about how great Mangino is it will be humiliating and pathetic. Remember ISU has their 2 biggest rivals weeks 2 and 3 and people are worried about getting past NDSU.... And those KSU and EIU games are going to be tough as hell from an offensive POV that is really early in the season to be playing games like that under a new coordinator. Mangino will absolutely have to pad the stats to build the confidence of his players and keep the fans off his back because KSU and EIU could be really really ugly low scoring games where the offensive looks flat out bad. He just has to smoke the 1AA in this spot there is no look ahead.
If ISU were coming off a bowl game with those 2 games on deck and you were any old 1AA team and not one that just beat KSU it would absolutely be a prime upset spot but its the exact opposite. The 1A team is actually going to be fully motivated.
