Not sure this is a proud claim for ND any longer

given our new scheduling model of at least 1 MAC school each year.

I would like to see us break the seal in a very bold way - schedule a game against NDSU in Fargo. It would be the biggest game ever in that state, and it would represent the true barnstorming nature of our once great program - playing a team that all of the elites refuse to schedule, and playing them in their stadium.
