the chance to be a part of Big Ten football, and compete at the highest level of college fotball may be worth it.
D1aa is still the 2nd level of college football regardless of what it's called, therefore i'll call division 2.

Witness the hordes of bison fans in the TC area as testament to Fargo's draw.

Yes we play in the highest level of college football which is nice, until we play your "division 2" teams and prove how the bottom of the prestigious big ten isn't that prestigious.

Yes a lot of ndsu alumni live in the twin cities, a lot of them are also from the TC area who went to ndsu for college and moved back to be close to family and your "fun and job opportunity." (If you graduate from ndsu you won't be out of a job long in Fargo with its unemployment rate)

Nobody in their right mind would ever say Fargo is comparable to Minneapolis, it's not.

Ndsu has built their program on kids we didn't offer or only offered pwo, the fact that kill is getting these kids is a good step for this program. Even If it doesn't improve our chances in the big ten at least it improves our chances vs local "division 2" teams, if we play them in the future.

Apparently the North Dakota player of the year might be a PWO candidate for kill too.

Nice try bison. We?
Congrats on your cute little program up there on the tundra.
However, kids who want to play big time college football shouldn't think they are getting the same experience out of NDSU and the U.
Yes, absolutely we were beaten by NDSU. It was absolutely a disgrace, a black mark on our program. It also fueled some idiotic notion among ill informed sports fans that NDSU is somehow equal or better a to a B1G program, even our mediocre one.
Now we deal with morons like you posing as gopher fans trying to stroke yourself to our discussion of a PWO candidate who took the opportunity over the money.

Trot back to bisonville and discuss your own, and try to understand that we down here in B1G country don't give a rip about NDSU, nor does anyone south of Fargo, even when you win games.

Welcome aboard Mike! Always happy to have another Coulee Region kid in Maroon and Gold!

Your last point is tough, I think it's hard to say at the U. Kill doesn't seem to hesitate to play the best player, regardless of status. We saw walk-on RB Banham in the Bowl Game over guys like Cobb and Wright (on scholarship). We've seen the McAvoys be below guys like Christenson, Mottla, Bak and even Heifort on the depth chart. Wettstein over Hawthorne. The Aussie (I don't believe he's on scholarship) over Orseske. Scholarship WR's like Kiese, Hutton, and Wilson can't find the field. I realize that SOME of these are Brew guys, but in general, Kill doesn't seem to have any reluctance in playing a walk-on over a scholarship player.

I think the point you made here is why the PWO program is gaining so much traction.

The attitude of the coaching staff, and being able to point to case after case in which walk ons are getting on the field, certainly has to be exciting for a player like Conway and others.

Kill gets bashed by a lot of people on this board for his (lack of) recruiting prowess. Well, I for one think he is doing a number of things really, really well, such as building a walk on program that has been very stagnant.

Ole are you ok? I'm actually worried about you, whatever happened its not your fault, you hear me-its not your fault.

I responded to your ignorance and apparently that means I'm not a gopher fan? When I get my season tickets again this year I will send you a pic, is that the process to be a gopher fan? I really need to prove my gopher fandom to you.

You seem to think you have to live in the metro to be a gopher fan. There are a lot of gopher fans up north in the "tundra", but maybe they haven't passed the Ole gopher fan test either?

I would think with Conways size a few years in the weight room he could be a nice target at TE, if he is moved from qb.
