You're not going to beat SMU.
Find me one Griz fan that's happy about that game.
We're not sugarcoating our schedule.
Face it, your AD bitched out.
In case it's not sinking in yet,

As someone posted earlier, it really makes msu look like pussies; not ordinary pussies, but large, even hugemongus pussies. In the eyes of the FCS world, having your AD's signature on a contract has as much substance as a piece of soiled toilet paper.
It's all about being afraid to play in Fargo.bigsky33 said:
Face it--our AD made a smart business move. To travel two times out to ND doesn't make good business sense. Those two trips would cost mucho money. To get a play-up game is a good money maker. Let's face it, in todays world schools need to maximaize the bucks. Why do you think Panhandle State is coming to Missoula? They are going to get heir heads handed to them.
MSU has a good track record in play-up games, beating Colorado, close game with Minnesota and losing to Washington State on a mistake in the last seconds. They have been competitive in their play-up games.

In this case it means $100,000,no more no less, I wish we could have played it, but we have several players from the Dallas - Ft Worth area, not sure what the payout will be but I am sure it will be worth a lot more to play SMU, lots of players will be happy that they will be playing in front of family and friends.Lakerhater said:
As vocal as I've been about this, I can't deny that we've done it, too.grizfan95 said:
Don't you remember the scheduling debacle that was 2007?
Pretty sure we bought out Cal Poly and SDSU that year to play Albany and Southern Utah.
At least we haven't done it since then.
I just have a problem with Cat fans saying this is entirely a good thing. I really disagree.
Your a fool if you don't think it isn't about the money. Schools need all they can get. Like I said, two trips to ND in one season does not make any sense business wise.
As I mentioned , you won't see your AD jumping in to fill the void at NDSU. It's your chance now to play the best in the FCS. But he would rather play Panhandle State. You could buy your way out of Panhandle State easily and move up and play the FCS champions now. So much for buying out games to play better competition!

Jesus, you can't be this stupid.bigsky33 said:
We'd have to buy out and reschedule at least 2 games if we even wanted to.
Our Panhandle game is Sep 21st, the same day NDSU is scheduled to play Delware State.

Which doesn't mean that S.F. Austin, Sam Houston State, McNeese St. and Nicholls St don't have openings on that date (21 Sept 2013). UofM can easily drop Panhandle State and schedule one of the above; quite easily. That's if they got the gumption for it; which I most hardily doubt.
