Impressive. Back to back Division I Championships by NDSU. Those
fans must feel real good. Sold out Crowd in Frisco, TX
back-to-back years. Great for the Division I FCS...

regarding a move. i think all landgrant/flagship state
institution should aspire to play at the FBS level. that's just
my opinion. but it may not be part of ndsu's mission

I saw the FCS champ game over the weekend. i was really
impressed with the fan support of both teams. that's what it
takes to get program to the next level. SB has a way to go in
that area. but we are moving in the right direction. a
continuation of the winning seasons will hopefully put fans in
the stadium for our home games and will get more fans to travel
for the road games. lets not get the cart ahead of the horse
with big FBS expectations.

I agree with BigFF. We are not there yet with fan support. Also
it's not always the best move to jump up to FBS. I don't know
what it does for some of these programs. You go from being top
dog in the FCS to an after thought in FBS. You can get talent
but it takes alot more than that to be a successful FBS program.
Northeast football on a whole needs to get better. All the FBS
teams that have cut ties with the northeast ( Pitt, Penn St.,
BC, Rutgers, Syracuse, Uconn?) is a sign of disconnect. This is
a pro football area but it could be a college one as well. I
think that The CAA teams bring that back to some extent. Umass
playing in the MAC doesn't accomplish a thing. If in 5-10 yrs
they elevate some CAA teams from the Northeast like SB, NH,
Delaware, Maine etc and take some of the big east teams that are
going to be left in the cold when that conf dismantles and
create a new Northeast heavy conf, I feel that will work. But
putting SB or NH in the MAC would make no sense. It needs to be
geographic in order to get the fan bases involved. And hopefully
with the continued local recruiting our attendance will keep
going up, cause it needs to.

The Umass story sounds like a complete disaster. i don't think
we can compare S/B to UMASS ..Their Alumni would have to travel
90 miles to Foxboro stadium just to watch the game !!!!.
Complete disaster they are not to mention the football program
lost over $750,000 in 2012 due to low attendance. I would
actually like to see SB play UMASS...

Fantastic news about finishing No. 11 in the country. lets look
for an even better result this upcoming season. Realistically,
I see us winning at least two to three games into the FCS
playoffs as long as we get consistent QB and RB play this
upcoming season.

Washington, D.C. - Stony Brook All-American Kevin Norrell has
accepted an invitation to play in the National Football League
Players Association (NFLPA) Collegiate Bowl on January 19. The
game will be played at Home Depot Center in Carson, Calif., near
Norrell's hometown of Los Angeles.
The game will be televised live on ESPN2 at 6 p.m. ET, and
features the top draft-eligible seniors in the country. ESPNU
will broadcast four hours of live coverage of the practices.
Former NFL head coaches Herm Edwards and Dick Vermeil will lead
the American and National teams.
Norell's 2012 season will go down as one of the most prolific
campaigns in school and Big South history. The all-conference
performer caught 66 passes for 1,388 yards and 15 TDs. He's the
only player in Stony Brook history with at least 1,000 receiving
yards in a season, and owns the Big South single-season records
for yards, yards per game (106.8) and yards per catch (21.0).
He recorded 100 yards and a touchdown in five straight games,
including a school-record 214 yards against Charleston Southern.
In back-to-back games against Presbyterian and VMI, Norrell
tallied three touchdowns. Norrell owns the second and
third-longest touchdown receptions with scores of 89 and 86
yards against Central Connecticut and Pace.
Norrell, who started his career at Washington State, earned
All-America honors from three different organizations - The
Sports Network, Associated Press and Phil Steele.
Norrell finished his two-year Seawolves career with 20 TDs and
2,061 yards, which are tied for second and third, respectively,
in the program's Division I history.
In the week leading up to the game, current NFL coaches and
players will speak to the participants on the business of
football, and how to succeed in life after the NFL. The future
stars of the NFL will be given insight on how to handle success
on and off the field.
