My only issue with it is that whoever created the video didn't read the standards manual for the new logos, specifically the section under common misuse ... "never rotate the logo".

It looks ridiculous sitting at that angle.

What are you talking about??? Who pissed in ur cherios???

I'm talking about the logo that sits in the middle of the screen almost the entire time. Its crooked, the letters NDSU are supposed to be straight. for all the pissing and moaning about logos lately I'm surprised that nobody else noticed.

Best commercial they have ever put out for Bison football. As long as they keep raising the bar I'm fine with their progression.

Some of you seem like you aren't happy unless you have something to complain about. It's kinda like the people who are complaining about being cold today after being miserable the rest of the week with it being so hot.

If you have complaints over the tiny things you have brought up, I sure hope you take it to NDSU. As for the commercial itself, I'm sure that it will sell the rest of the tickets that are left. And that's the main purpose of it.

I can't believe the backlash from my posts. I like the commercial I just find it comical that they didn't follow their own rules when it comes to using the new logos. I don't look for things to bitch about but I do find it hard not to point out glaring mistakes.

Awesome commercial!! Makes me pumped up for Bison football. If that wasn't the first thing that came to mind when you saw it and all you can do is complain about logo placement, run time, content, and other nonsense; then it really must be a slow day in July.

NorthernBison
07-06-2012, 09:09 PM
I think some people are being too literal. The logo is square to the words underneath. My eye naturally follows line of text and logo. In that sense, it looks fine and would look stupid if the logo was square to the frame.

Maybe they should never get creative. All words should be laid out perfectly horizontal on the screen.

Some posters on Bisonville have low standards and are still stuck in DII. I really have to agree that the standards NDSU made a big deal about were not followed.

Probably a good question despite your scarcasm.

As a corollary, NDSU is basically at capacity for its student body given its infrastructure, that being about 14,500 students. As a result, in an effort to save money, they have done virtually no advertising to recruit students, spending only a fraction of what they have spent in the past under Chapman. I have heard rumors that the student body could dip below 14,000 students this fall semester and opening the door for UND to once again be the largest university in ND. I can hardly wait for the UND trolls to get ahold of that statistic if, indeed, that happens.

So, my take is (and I again acknowledge your scarcasm), it is always good to do some advertising regardless of the perceived popularity of your product, if for no other reason but to make sure your brand is out there to be seen.

Helps create more demand. Hopefully promoted a loud and crazy dome weekly. In a perfect world you want every game sold out and hopefully inspire a few more people to join teammakers. If I wasnt a season ticket holder I may want to join. And maybe it gets tbe students fired up?

You sick of the road to frisco dvd already? I am. Cant wait for the season to start

I was just driving on university the other day. Realized there is a large space that I never really realized could have a building or two placed in it. the area behind Churchill and the Union. I am not an expert at all(DUH!) on growing the infrastructure but I imagine a dorm and a building could be placed there if they really wanted to keep growing.

That's the leading candidate for the proposed science classroom/lab building. Personally, I would hate to see that happen. That's the one area I'd like to see stay green no matter what. Better locations(IMO) include the grass area and pay lot next to Electrical Engineering, the grass area and Sheppards Arena north of IIAC, or the library(it's slated for eventual demolition once it's replaced). I also think Geosciences is a possibility just east of IACC.

For dorms, another pair of LLCs would be possible just to the north of the current two if alternate parking space could be found.

sounds like a good plan. I do like having that green space, but honestly, i rarely see anyone use it unfortunately. sometimes the churchill guys play some frisbee but nothing too wild.

Back when I attended NDSU I was told the ultimate plan for NDSU was to get rid of all roads and parking lots inside campus. Doubt that will ever happen BUT if they do, that would either free up a whole lot of land for other buildings or more green space.

some of the roads are unnecessary. I may get crucified for saying this, but one aspect of UND's campus i like is that it is a bit more green and open. The only problem is, where do you put the parking lots then? Destroy some of the land on the east side of university for parking?

As a former resident of Churchill Hall, I would hate to see this happen. It has always been a great place for playing football, frisbee, or just hanging out. Next you will probably say they should get rid of "Burgum Beach" where all the Burgum babes like to lay out int the fall and spring.

I understand why they still have a commercial.......actually I thought it was an OK bit of video, but nothing outstanding. My point is I have watched the Frisco video dozens of times, revisited the various videos on youtube often, and I was looking for some fresh video and audio. The 30 second commercial definitely was only a tease. The next two months is going to go by at a snails pace!
The creative types out there need to make a new video with some old to recent highlights summarizing the growth of the football program from the early 1960's to present. Add some great music and make it about 10 minutes long. Include pics and video of game action, facilities, fans, etc. over the past 50 years. That would be awesome!

I think it would be great if they made another DVD, perhaps just about the history of Bison football. Maybe ignore the first 60 years of it though :hide:

Looks like something they puked out in a hurry. Ding, ding, ding........we have a winner. I don't care because there are only about 2000 single game tickets to sell and those will take care of themselves. I was hoping they would just make a great one minute commercial to celebrate the national championship and get some of those who ride the fence to get out and join teammakers, or buy season tickets if they still can. Also, convince even more people to travel to road games and get out there and tailgate. Some things a longer commercial could have had more footage of:
1. The national championship
2. The new turf
3. The expanded tailgate parking lot
4. Tailgating fans
5. Game highlights

I concur about the road game point and the list above. If we are going to make these improvements, how about making even a small mention of it. The 1 second flash of the new rug isn't sufficient for a multi million dollar upgrade.

Bison03
07-09-2012, 03:47 PM
Everyone needs to relax. This was a 30 second ad to advertise that single game tickets are going on sale. 30 seconds is the normal time for commercials so this is nothing unnatural. If someone want to make a 5 minute video about NDSU football and pay to have it run on tv; go right ahead. If you think the video is a tease to get people to want more, then I guess the commercial was effective.

The_Sicatoka

I have heard rumors that the student body could dip below 14,000 students this fall semester ...

That goes against all the data that says long runs in the playoffs (FB or BB) results in an upward bump in enrollment (call it the "George Mason" effect). The NDSU FB championship says that shouldn't happen.

PS - The logo at an angle in the commercial flies in the face of everything they were trying to accomplish with your new logo standards. Did NDSU Athletics create their new standard just to be first to break it?

Mr. Burgundy

On a positive note, the tailgating area that is being complete is MASSIVE! The regular lots are being blacktopped. The new lots, on the other side of the "rain forest" (which is still there) is huge and being completed. Looks like a huge area for Bison fans. Should be another fun year. Probably 10 home games or so? I hope the Fargodome realizes that NDSU Football is bigtime event. How about some yellow seats instead of the red.

What a timely request! It just happens that I drove into Fargo and gave up some lake time last Saturday and spent a bit of time roaming around the campus (not as easy as it sounds because of multiple road construction projects).

I took a few shots of the tailgate lot.

Am I nuts or did they used to have hoof prints across campus leading up to Dacotah Field?

They should do that again from the new lots up to the dome doors.

In Columbia, MO, they have Tiger paw prints painted on the road leading from the Interstate to the stadium. Actually, Carbondale, IL (SIU) has teh same thing, except their paw prints are from Santa's Little Helper. Would be nice to see in Fargo.

However, if NDSU did that (or the dome did that) on their sidewalks or parking lots, the backlash from the winged monkeys would be horrendous.

I took a few shots of the tailgate lot.

From the SE corner of the area:

Small trenches in the lot (for electrical hookups?)

What's the moat for? I know Panthers don't like water and all but that's a little much.

What's the big stand for in your name? Because for as much as you run your mouth, all I can suspect is that you're desperately trying to make up for something small and inadequate.

If you guys were to put prints of your mascot leading from campus to the Alerus what would you use????????????

In Columbia, MO, they have Tiger paw prints painted on the road leading from the Interstate to the stadium. Actually, Carbondale, IL (SIU) has teh same thing, except their paw prints are from Santa's Little Helper. Would be nice to see in Fargo.

However, if NDSU did that (or the dome did that) on their sidewalks or parking lots, the backlash from the winged monkeys would be horrendous.

That's because people in Columbia can't read the traffic signs.....Either that or they're too busy brushing their tooth while driving to pay attention.

On a positive note, the tailgating area that is being complete is MASSIVE! The regular lots are being blacktopped. The new lots, on the other side of the "rain forest" (which is still there) is huge and being completed. Looks like a huge area for Bison fans. Should be another fun year. Probably 10 home games or so? I hope the Fargodome realizes that NDSU Football is bigtime event. How about some yellow seats instead of the red.

I am ready for 10 home games...but no thanks on the bunnywabbit color combo for our seats!

As long as we are ripping other schools videos, here is the "He Who Must Not Be Named" school's video. The song in it mentions "Flash of Lightening"; I though we own all lightening logos or references in sports.

At 0:02, is that Mussman "putting the screws" to some poor recruit?
And at 0:20, does that poor bastard realize that even if he does flap his arms hard enough to get off the ground, that he's still locked inside a tin shed with a bunch of empty seats?
Nice that they were able to capture 10% of teh actual student attendance in that one shot at 0:27.

OK I'm done.

I would have really like to see the footage of the last-second field goals against Northern Colorado and Sioux Falls.

Also, the bearded cowboy makes an appearance and that makes me smile.

Also at 0:44. Probably shows most of the students that were there. That is not smack. Take out the band and about 100 students showed up for games. Of those die hard fans, about 25 stayed to watch the second half. I guess most of their student section was passed out from the night before or at the Red Pepper.

Don't worry. They play Montana at home this year. Excitement is at an all-time high. Students will come this year.
