Looking forward to it. Here is hoping for a repeat of last year!

[Professor Chaos]

Awesome! I'll be nowhere near Fargo or Ames for this game so glad that I'll be able to watch it.

[centennial]

Cool.. Hope we own Iowa State

Beans of the cool variety.

Fox Sports 1, Home of the Bison, I like it!:D

Did this channel ever rival ESPN?

I guess you would know what irrelevant looks like, so if you want to call it that, sure.

[centennial]

And its already irrelevant
ESPN reaches 99 million homes
FS1 reaches 90 million homes
Their bigger games have better ratings than FCS NC. We'll take it.
What's your excuse for not making the playoffs? Not enough 3 star players?

[BisonBacker]

And its already irrelevant
Kind of like you and your team

[NoDak 4 Ever]

Funny that the FS1 bashing is coming from the same guy who said this about CSS (Comcast sports channel or something like that - like Midco Sports Net for those of us up here xconfusedx) picking up an almighty Mocs broadcast and their whopping 4 games on ESPN3 last year:

UTC will broadcast the UT Martin game will be broadcast on CSS. This will basically be a 3 1/2 UTC infomercial. Mocs will have the CSS game along with 4 ESPN3 games this season. Awesome.

It's an absolutely huge deal. Especially that UTC is producing it. This is not SS, it is CSS. While it may not be in as many households, it has a reputable college football brand, unlike SS.

I'm sure it was a nice 3.5 hour UTC infomercial watching UT-Martin run up and down the field on them.

And then there's this:

What is this link? Comcast has 23 million subscribers. Directv has around 17 million.
Assuming this 23M number is even accurate (which I have my doubts about considering the source and lack of citations) that's about a quarter of the number of households FS1 is in.

I doubt that I ever made a case that CSS was a bigger network than foxsports1. Its apples and oranges. Our school taking over a CSS broadcast was a big deal to us as is y'all being on fs1 is to y'all. I'm just wondering if this network has eclipsed ESPN. Yet?

Acting like fs1 is espn is about like acting like Iowa State is Florida State which I'm sure y'all will do win or lose.

They will be probably be better than Iowa state this year. Either way I want be calling for us in the AP top 10 the next week.

[Saint3333]

This is typical, Chattown trolls the program with the most fans. How that App is gone he's moved on to NDSU?

Congrats on the game NDSU, publicity is difficult at this level enjoy it!

That "Thank you Gameday!" chant to the turn of our normal "Let's go Bison!" chant still brings goosebumps and a shiver down my spine. Such an awesome event to partake in and I'm very thankful for ESPN for showcasing our program as much as it did that day.

[AmsterBison]

Beat a Big 12 team on FS1, then EPSN does Game Day for Montana. That would be a good start of the season for the FCS. :)

I think Montana v NDSU would be a great showcase for the FCS... at either place. I mean, the Game Day folks would love Missoula.

[MplsBison]

Hopefully ESPN will send Gameday to one major FCS program every year. They should expect similar passion at places like Montana, Montana St, Delaware, etc.

[chattownmocs]

Maybe they should send gameday to see one of NDSUs big FBS games. Oh wait. They don't play good FBS teams.

It would be a great game for Game Day to come back for but there's some tough competition that week with Clemson playing at Florida St.

[IBleedYellow]

I don't think we'll be getting GameDay back for awhile. I think Montana may get them sometime down the line, though!

Maybe they should send Gameday to the production of your second place media guide.

Kansas State-24-21 4th in the Big 12. 8-5 record last year. 23 on Sagarin.
CMU 44-14 MAC champions in 2007
Our backups would beat your chump team. Most FBS teams want nothing to do with us.

Is FS1 the same as FSN? My Bears play Texas Tech on FSN for the first game of the year. It also said Texas Tech TV.... no freakin' idea if that's a national station or a web stream. xlolx

Short answer: FS1 is a national cable sports channel while FSN is an umbrella term for a group of regional cable sports channels.

Kansas State does not recruit real talent. They get reject scrubs. They weren't good last year and were particularly bad early. At least play someone with real players and stop bsing about playing a team who was decent because of lightning in a bottle the previous year.

Kansas state and Iowa State are the two worst recruiting programs in the entire BIG 12 which makes them most prone to FCS upsets.

I don't think so. I think NDSU is getting a lot of respect because of the past, rightfully so. Chattanooga is getting a lot of trepidation based on the past, rightfully so. But just a comparison looking at the two teams, chattanooga is the more talented team.

FS1 has the Big 12 contract but the actual pull was NDSU. It probably wouldn't have been on if ISU were playing Toledo.

As far as FS1, they have the backing of Fox Sports and they chose to have NDSU and Kansas State as one of their first football games ever. They even had it moved to Friday night to make sure they had the exclusive.

That's the best game they can get! Because they have no relevance as a network. The SEC Network opens with South Carolina and Texas A&M. Iowa State and North Dakota State?? Hahahahahahahahaha. Cyclones vs the Bison baby whoooooo

who gives a ****? Honestly, NDSU is the premier team in FCS and gets a lot of ink outside of FCS. Your effort to minimize this success, given your pathetic team and your overblown sense of their actual worth is a lot of fun. Mostly because you actually seem to believe your ****.

Now, get back to work. Those $5 footlongs aren't going to make themselves.

I'd be curious to know the ratings of that game vs. the ratings from other games on national cable channels that weekend.

It will be good national publicity for both programs.
