  • Go Big or Go Home

    The article is up on the Courier. Sounds like Dannen and Farley have announced their intentions that they would like to see FBS football at UNI, and they think the time to do so may be soon.

    I cant link the article right now.

    What are everybody's thoughts on this??

      We gone.

      And it's 110% the right decision. The question is who is coming with us.

                30 years doesn't mean sh*t.. they've always been our rivals, right?... right?

                okay, I can't keep up this charade.

                  If only there wasn't another thread where this had already been discussed.

                    Other thread was all speculation based on a vague twitter post.
                    This thread is still speculation, but not quite as vague.

                      it sounds as though we can spend less time argued the "if" and start arguing the "how".

                      so anyways, lets start arguing. how are we paying for this ****?

                        Fun fact:
                        if my research is correct, UNI is 3-0 vs. the MAC since moving up to I-AA/FCS
                        1-0 vs. Ball State (win in Muncie in 2001)
                        1-0 vs. Eastern Michigan (win in Ypsilanti in 1998)
                        1-0 vs. Ohio (win in Athens in 1999)

                          the money is the obvious hurdle, but i am thinking about some other things as well.

                          will the casual fanbase continue to support a team that isnt as successful on the field?

                          will the dome be adequate going forward? how does capacity compare to other MAC/non-BCS teams?

                          how does the transition work exactly?

                          will we have posters?

                          will we sell beer?

                            hopefully it would increase and it all depends on what conference UNI would go to as to how successful the team would be. big conference, hell no. MAC, sign me up NOW

                            will the dome be adequate going forward? how does capacity compare to other MAC/non-BCS teams?

                            gotta sell out the UNI-Dome consistently before you get a new stadium

                            how does the transition work exactly?

                            no idea

                            will we have posters?

                            yes

                            will we sell beer?

                            hopefully. be a great revenue generator no matter what conference we play in

                              I've been to Toledo and drove by BG. We'd be fine with the Dome. all different facilities, all nice enough. I bet EMU is a dump.
