Over on that board, if someone asked the question of what are the 10 most pathetic programs in FCS, I'm sure NDSU would be on most of those lists.

Retaliation against certain fans of yours...

TwinsBisonFan (sic) will tell you, the level-headed/good humored Bison fans are treated well

A couple programs living on past glory right now. I too have McNeese on my list, but both of these better start winning playoff games again soon if they want to stay in the top 10.

The 2009 SCSU team could compete to win against any team in the nation. They could run the ball, play defense and dominate in the trenches. We got lucky that we won that game.

im glad someone else can see that...

Yeah, just not sure anyone else has built a body-of-work to compete with them yet

No, a good handful (generally the most vocal) of NDSU fans are the worse thing to ever happen to the planet/FCS football. The product you put on the field is generally pretty good, but the overzealous fans who believe that one good season and a handful of wins over bottom of the barrel FBS squads (since joining D-I) makes NDSU god's gift to football ruin it for everyone else. I respect the NDSU football team, I don't respect a large majority of your fans.

You are letting your ECB shine through.

EWU certainly belongs in the conversation with the schools I mentioned.

App State, Montana and Delaware are the big three of the decade. No other schools have multiple NC appearances since 2000.

Based on CURRENT (last decade) success and recognition...

ASU
Montana
Delaware
GSU
UNI
JMU
UNH
Nova
EWU
Wofford/McNeese/SIU

With UMass, Furman, W&M, Montana State, Richmond, Cal Poly and NDSU on the bubble.

Montana State was a top ten FCS/1AA program from inception to about 1985. We've got a long way to go before we can be considered top ten again.

But I think we're gaining on it.

- Major facility improvements upcoming
- Routinely in the top 10 in attendance
- Haven't had a losing season in 10 years


The glaring omissions are playoff appearances, and more importantly, playoff wins
