How'd they do in the finals? Who'd they end up playing anyway? I'm sure they won.

[Gamecocks99]

In 1977 DII and 1 AA were combined until the next year being - 1978 1AA WAS BORN - NOW FCS.

Jacksonville State played Lehigh University in
The Pioneer Bowl National Championship in
Wichita Falls, Texas on Dec 10th, 1977.
It was extremely cold.
Lehigh Won and JSU was the Runner-up

[Gamecocks99]

Lehigh Won 33-0. Our QB got hurt early and did not return to the game. Much respect for Lehigh. Great memories.

Right, lets talk about that. I mean, you play for championships, not semifinals amirite?

[McNeese72]

A long, long time ago in a universe far, far away!!!!!!

[McNeese72]

In 1976 McNeese beat Tulsa in the very first Independence Bowl (we were Div I-A then and we also played in the 1979 and 1980 Indy Bowls). That has about as much revelance as the original post.

Dom Izzo. Writing for Bison Media shared this score along with Jacksonville State beating NDSU 21 - 17 in 1989
In Jacksonville in the QuarterFinals.
We played for the Championship each year and the Bison returned home and didn't play either of the years for the Championship.
JACKSONVILLE STATE WON THE football
CHAMPIONSHIP in 1992.
BASEBALL, NC BACK TO BACK IN 1990&1991
And JSU Won the Basketball NC in 1985.

yeah. since that 1977 loss we won 9 football championships. Kind of gets you over it. In fact, we talk way more about the 2010 quarterfinal than anything.

I dont see anything for NDSU to be ashamed of? It was you second time to reach the semi and those players help start what has become a great program. I would bet money those players were pretty damn proud group of players for NDSU.

We got our butt stomped in the finals but that group is still one of the best teams in our history.

Notice NDSU has no names on the backs of the uniforms? It is for a reason. NDSU plays as a team not an individual.

That is pretty good. Although I'm not sure that I'd say it's the triple crown since it isn't the highest caliber of play (ie: the basketball championship was D2).

Here's some of our history:
Football: 12 Championships: '65, '68, '69, '83, '85, '86, '88, '90, '11, '12, '13, and '14
Women's Basketball: 5 Championships: '91, '93, '94, '95, '96 (the original NDSU 4-pete Championship)
Wrestling: 4 Championships: '88, '98, '00, '01
Softball: 2000
Women's Track & Field: 2002
Men's Cross Country: 1972

I don't believe any other sports have won National Championships. I could be wrong though.

History question for NDSU, what happen from 2000-2010? Was this a transition time or was the program down? JSU had moved up and I didnt keep up with DII much during this time.

[BisonFan02]

Announced move in August of 2002...2003 onward 5 year probation....2008 first year eligible....fairly rough first two years...been good from 2010 till now. The 2006 and 2007 teams probably could have been championship contenders as well if they were eligible.

2003 team beat Montana as a D2 team
2005- 7-4 Against D1
2006(10-1 with one point loss to MN), 2007(10-1 beat MN, and CMU 44-14, they were the MAC champions that year) teams could have seriously challenged for the NC.
2008(6-5), 2009(3-8) Moved to MVFC bad years by our standards

I know its not to me but I support JSU and my high school. The others I support as much as NDSU, UNI, SHSU, EKU, or any other school. Enjoy watching others play but Im for my school unless I have offspring/kin/friends playing for another.

Can't speak for him, but me and the Mrs. will be there.

As I've said, I wanted to play y'all as soon as I saw we were in opposite brackets. To be the best, you have to beat the best. The usual blah blah aside, most of your fans here are pretty good guys and from lurking on your fan board, I didn't see anything too bad there either.

The whole "no FBS teams" is a doubled edge sword. No, you don't have competition from a Bama or Auburn (not that we'd get their recruits anyway), but we get very little media love in the state. We rank behind the second tier FBS schools in that regard here. Nobody gives a rip about us but us. We get looked down on for being FCS even though we'd probably have beaten Troy or South Alabama this year and would beat Dollar Bill Clark's gang of thugs and rejects when UAB revives their crap program.

But the average fan sees no difference in us and the DII schools here. But we have Jax State grads who won't go to Frisco but will be at Jerry World New Year's Eve.

We've won one title game in a row and officially 1-1 in title games. We had one loss vacated when the other team was found to have FBS level of scholarships. (Though I think it still counts as a loss in our record)

[dewey]

Don't miss the point they have no fbs school.in North Dakota to recruit against. Fargo is far as you can go. Lol.

I am not sure if you have mentioned it yet but we don't an FBS school in North Dakota....good god everyone is fully aware that we don't have an FBS school in North Dakota.

You do know that FBS teams recruit nationally and not just the state they are in right?

You should just change you signature to "Yeah well North Dakota doesn't have any FBS schools in there state" so that way you don't have to type it in every post you make.

Good luck deer hunting and with baseball cocky.

I agree with this. If an FBS school wants a ND player they more than likely will get them. NDSU probably cant pay what ND, TOSU, UAT, Auburn, TX and the other big boys can.

^^^^^^This right here. There is usually a ND recruit or two each year that get a P5 scholarship and an NDSU offer. Needless to say NDSU doesn't win too many battles with the P5 schools. If a player is really talented it doesn't matter where he is they will be found.

Dewey

[Bisonwinagn]

I think NDSU only gives offers to about 3 recruits each year out of ND as there are not many D1 recruits in the state. We compete with Iowa, MN, WI, MAC, and Valley schools for most recruits.

Do SEC fans really know the difference between Troy and JSU? I promise you most Big Ten fans have no clue what division teams are in outside of the Big Ten. G5 and FCS are no different to most fans as both get limited exposure.

SEC fans believe you have the them, then the other P5 conferences and then all other teams. Boise and Mt Union are in the same division in their eyes. This only changes if Paul Finebaum tell them differently.
