NDSU invited to the White House

[Professor Chaos]

Regardless what you think of the guy who currently occupies the White House I think it's pretty cool to see an FCS champion recognized like this.

Since they're FCS champions they won't get the 5 star gourmet meal that Clemson got with Burger King, McDonalds and Chick Fila, instead they'll get White Castle burgers and fries.

He said North Dakota State Bison properly at his Fargo rally.

Yep, that is pretty good stuff.

As was mentioned if you have an poli stuff to add you will get f'd up quickly by me if you do so on this board so keep this in mind...as a friendly reminder.

This is good for the FCS as a whole. More exposure for the FCS is what we all want (besides winning titles) regardless of what team we support.

I'd bet that kind of exposure will help on the recruiting trail.

Will Coach K join the team on the trip?

[Redbird 4th & short]

obviously an honor and a cool thing, and clearly good for FCS as a whole. If not for fact that they've won so many times, no other FCS champion would have been invited. So it's a good thing for FCS in my mind.

Cool deal for the state of ND. Wonder if the media will get all worked up if they get fast food.

How many people have ever toured the White House? I was lucky enough to do so back in 1995 on the 4th of July when you don't need a ticket. We got there by 8 AM and there was already a huge line. By the time we left, the line was wrapped twice around the place. Quite an experience, especially when Helicopter 1 landed and we were told to get away from the windows.

I sure wouldn't turn down the opportunity.

I went in sixth grade with my parents. That was in 1979. Not a fan of Trump, but a tour like this would be a little more personal than the standard one I had then and would be fun.

Regardless of what you think of the occupant of the WH, you've got to look at this as an FCS getting the same invitation the NFL and FBS champs get every year. Accept the invitation just out of respect for the office and because the accomplishment of the top team in the FCS is finally getting recognized.

That should be the menu for big state dinners. No reason for the big shots to eat so high on the hog. Waste of money.

I remember a certain politician about a year ago when someone complained that they wasted a million dollars that it was an insignificant amount.

As awesome as that would be, I do not want that hassel of trying to tailgate and go to the game as security would be through the roof. Hell they could limit tailgating to those who have tickets and the hard perimeter around the dome would be a pain to get through. But as I said, it would be an awesome experience.

That all depends on whether it's an announced visit or not. Obama used to attend Wizards games (admittedly no tailgating or AF1) without much ado.

Many have thanked the President and Senator Hoven for the invitation to see the Nation's Capital and the White House. Seems everyone was very political neutral. Which is more than can be said about people on this board.

Honestly wish the Poli board would be deleted and a NO POLITICS rule implemented sitewide. Would make you ****ers stop attacking each other.
It's done that way on Bisonville, it doesn't work there either. In fact, this thread has been a lot less political than the Bisonville thread on the White House trip was. Maybe having a poli board for folks to go shoot their partisan loads at is actually a good thing for the "no politics on the FCSD board" policy???

Also, if you think this board is a bigger cesspool of politics than Twitter read the comments under pretty much any of those tweets you're referring to.

Useless trivia of the day.

In 1865 Andrew Johnson invited the Brooklyn Atlantics and Washington Nationals amateur baseball clubs to the White House. First visit of a sports team.

Pretty cool that he took them to the Oval as well. Happy for all those guys.

Congratulations to the Bison for earning this trip. Looks like everybody had a good time and were appreciative of an opportunity that in reality very few get. Well done, gentlemen!

"Quiet protest".

Bummer.

Reminder that this is a FCSD board thread and there is a political board on this site for you to pontificate any partisan political views you may have on this or any other subject.

Crazy that it’s happening again

[dewey]

What an awesome opportunity for the team to visit the president and see the White House.

Regardless of your opinion of the president it is still an incredible trip that most of us may never have.

Go Bison!

Pretty cool!!

Does anyone have a list as to which sports teams get an invite? Pro teams, college teams- but which ones? I'm wondering where they draw the line. I love it that the FCS champ gets to go.

sames for linkedin ... I'm amazed at the toxic garbage people will post on a professional networking site. Some of them are trolls, but many are regular professionals that are so apt to take the bate on both sides and say some really toxic stuff ... with no fear for what it might do them professionally .. that aspect just amazes me, and honestly scares me. Stuff like this will only get worse before it gets better. Civilty has really eroded lately.

Anyway, congrats to Bison for their invite to WH !! Any attention to FCS is good attention ... though spreading it a little more would certainly help. Were going to try and help on that front next year !! xnodx

I think at this level it depends a lot on the home state's senators and US representative(s) and their relationship with the prez. I'll leave it there to avoid going down a wormhole but draw your own conclusions from that.

I believe last year was the first time ever the FCS champ has been invited to the White House but now that it's been 2 years in a row hopefully it'll happen more often than not going forward regardless who the champ is. It's great and well deserved recognition for the players, coaches, and program as a whole.

Not sure if the 2009 D2 national champions MSU-Mankato women's basketball team got invited anywhere, but I was at Target Field the day that they visited the Minnesota governor. Coley Ries, the star pitcher, thew out the first pitch at the Twins game (overhand and it was a strike) and she even gave me a hug afterwards.

Hopefully it continues for the FCS champ annually.

But Cramer is a big supporter of Trump so I'm sure that helps the cause for NDSU.

Your online persona waves more than any flag on any pole in america, dependent upon the direction main-streamers are aligning themselves. What a big liar you are.

You want to see toxic? Look up the St Jude Shriners hospital in regards to the commercials. Holy buckets.

To get the thread back on topic, Congrats to the team and coaching staff.

Congratulations to the Bison; have a great trip.

Our '16 team was not invited to the WH. Were the earlier NDSU NCs invited?

Don't know who was the first to be honest, but I did know ysu went in March of 1995 after winning the championship for the 1994 football year.

Ok I lied, if that press release is correct it answers the question.

The visit by the Penguins was the first invitation ever extended to a college or professional team in any sport in the state of Ohio. It was also the first appearance by the Division I-AA champion to the White House.

Holy Cross had existed for around 50 years before North Dakota became a state....not that that would help us in a game against NDSU :)
