I’m not sure what you mean?

Who names their kid Taco?

Nobody, Taco Dowler as a young kid standing in the kitchen (maybe eating Mexicano food) jokingly announced his name is Taco. Obviously it stuck!
Don't disparage his name or his athleticism, as he was an outstanding athlete in high school sports in Billings. Taco's amazing punt returns for TDs, plus his almost miraculous catches as a receiver of Touchdown Tommy's passes, mark him as a football player who has earned respect and has been loudly cheered in affection as the Bobcat Nation crowd again responds to the announcement of yet another TACO football feat.

You stadium bench warriors in the peanut gallery just keep eating your burritos, green with the envy at being even close to the athlete known as TACO!

And Taco's twin brother had the nickname of Buritto. But he decided he didn't want to be called that still eventually. Taco kept on keeping on with his. The way I heard it.

NDSU has been very interested in moving to the FBS level of college football in recent years but no offers to join a conference. This year they lobbied hard to be admitted to the Mountain West when Boise State left, but the invite went to North Illinois. Not sure if Montana State has any such plans? If you watched the, “Mayo Bowl”, which Minnesota played in, it’s hard to understand why a school would rather play in that game rather than a national championship game like last night in Frisco. More money I suppose. The bottom line is, who gets in which conference boils down to the number of TV sets in a school’s geographic area. As evidenced by the Big 10, originally a Midwest conference, now has teams on each coast.

MSU and UM would have to move up together by vote of the board of regents in MT. One can't go if the other doesn't also.

I understand some of the perks.. maybe more enrollment = $ though personally, I like our Division I FCS setting.

Esteem? Esteem getting our arses handed to us each game does not sound enjoyable. Seems MT one's rocking it while the other is in the gutter and every once in a while we're both doing okay to good...

Edumacate my why we would want to step into the FBS? If I recall Idaho bumped up, had their arses handed to them repeatedly and it hurt their $ to the point they dropped back to FCS, right?
