2016 FCS Kickoff Game(s)

[EverettGriz]

It's like when a band plays a concert and tells you how great your town is before they get the hell out of there and on to their next show.

And you catch the lead singer's furtive glance down at the set list taped to the floor, knowing that the city's name is on top in big, bold block letters. "Thank you....Kalamazoo. We love you! You've been our greatest audience on this tour!!!"

And yet people will actually believe that the lead singer is telling the truth that the audience was better than everybody else! :lol:

WE LOVE YOU GRAND FOR-UH-FARGO!!!

Their fans are actually kind of hilarious.

 

[Bertram]

Yuck... Bison Vs CSU is the lone FCS Kickoff game for 2016

 

[alabamagrizzly]

Really?! Uhhh, ok. This might not be the national exposure Charleston's looking for. I wonder if they asked us and UNI.

 

[bgbigdog]

Were they even on UNDSU's schedule prior to the announcement?

 

[get'em_griz]

LMAO! That's the matchup that ESPN wants? Since ESPN is so in love with NDSU, they probably wanted to be sure that NDSU would actually be able to win the kickoff game unlike in 2015...

This one won't come even close to the viewership numbers that we drew for the 2015 kickoff game.

 

[BadlandsGrizFan]

Duhhh fuccccccck

Their best shows ever have come from Fargo.

Given the plethora of UNDSU imbeciles posting here, I recognize that my claim is quite grandiose: That said, this may well be the dumbest thing ever posted by a Tbuff.

Some evidence does go in his favor:

Fargo has set the bar in 2014." - KirkHerbstreit

Its never been like this before - Lee Corso

Thank you Fargo. Today's scene was the best ever for CollegeGameDay. Thanks for the hospitality and enthusiasm. We will be back. - Lee Fitting

In the four years you’ve done the show, have you had one week that has really stuck out as the most memorable you’ve ever had?

Sam Ponder: Definitely North Dakota State.

Clearly they were referring to the donut spread in the courtesy room

Hell, how long before ESPN has an ESPNDSU channel? Their love affair with them is sickening. I wonder who they are having do ESPN officials special favors?

At least this can be used as motivation for every other team in the FCS. I'd love to see the GRIZ put an end this madness this year and end their championship run. :thumb:

 

[EverettGriz]

Yeah, I won't be watching that.

 

[poorgriz]

How could anyone be upset about a double header FCS kickoff weekend between 4 of the best programs in the nation? Well I guess three of the best and one that just has a good team ( cough EWU cough). This would be awesome in my opinion. Playing in two dome environments isnt the best thing ever but at least theyre two good dome environments. I would love to see this happen. We dont need to get our panties in a bunch, I dont think we will have to worry about the kickoff in Missoula this last year being topped ever.

This is 2016. :roll:

 

[SoldierGriz]

I will watch. It will be the start of the football season, and I will be glad to get it started. I will probably bitch the whole game, but I will watch nonetheless.

Griz need to end this NDSU crap, and take their rightful place at the top...starting right now.

Hope the early morning workouts - now complete - will payoff. Hope this spring brings a crap-load of intra-squad competition, and that carries through the summer.

You do realize that to the average college football fan Charleston Southern is just the same as Montana.....they look at it all as substandard football.....

Sad. True, but sad.

Except we got mad praise for our stadium, crowd, atmopshere.Nobody is gonna care about this game when the Beezon are up 35-3 in the 3rd quarter.

Of course ESPNDSU is looking at televising the game against EWU. Probably looking to host another GameDay from Bristol...I mean Fargo in the near future too. I'd bet ESPNDSU already has lead in material prepared for the 5 time defending national champion ByZun in their unprecedented quest for 6.

They've sorta earned that don't ya think? They don't get the attention they deserve, their run of championships is incredible.

Yep...they have earned every, single bit of their press. No question.

Griz need to end it.

I thought that Fullerton was the one with all the contacts and relationships at ESPN, and that the BSC would and should be involved every year. He said so himself. Where are you Doug? How can the kickoff be "Dougless"?
