I wouldn't go that far Schnauzer.
FCS is not D2 they are D1aa or FCS with 63 scholarships. If any mid level P5 or G5 team schedules a top 10 FCS teams, from the year before, that has most of their starters comming back with no coaching changes it can be a tough game.[/QUOTE]
Now that we have some real talent again, I would like to see Minnesota playing the D2 king UND Bizon every year. I know they beat that 0-11 Brewster team and the worst team Jerry Kill ever had at Minnesota (His No. Illinois teams would have routed the UND Bizzon team every time) I'd prefer to see this match up whenever possible, now that we are better at almost every position.
I think a much elevated Gopher Team vs the current Fighting Bizon team would be a mismatch but at least the stadium would be full, which will not be the case against anyone else in the lower rungs,other than the current kings of minor league football.
I'm sure you do! FCS NDSU is 9-3 against G5 and P5 teams in the FCS with 63 scholarships You will underestimate the GSU G5 Eagles also, Isn't that right
Schnauzer!
