A couple of interesting FCS-related items: Kurt Allen at Midwest Sports Fans asks how North Dakota State would perform in the Big 12, and offers a very sober and rational discussion on the challenges the Bison would face if they tried to move up again.

FRIDAY is the deadline for early bird season tickets.

Sports Extra reviews the 2013-14 season.

Want the Platte Purchase and/or Fairfax bridges? They're all yours. You just have to come get them and promise to love them like your very own children.
