Players and fans both wearing gold? NDU held a poll on fb asking if we should wear green or gold. They said however the fans voted would be the official fan color scheme.

Facebook page says they are telling fans to wear gold, so I'm assuming it's just going for the fans.

Me too, no since switching now and messing up the mojo. maybe next year. (did wear yellow once in 2012, got so much crap went back to green) Next - who really cares what the fans wear as long as school colors, think back to 3/4 of the Fargodome in plaid and orange from deer hunting. Mean green for me, with a splash of yellow !!

I've worn the exact same clothing every single game for the past 3 years... gold rush or not. Seems to have worked out pretty well the past 3 years for us and the team doesn't seem to mind too much either.

If NDSU asks their fans to wear a certain color to a game, I have no trouble doing so. It has no effect on the game, but it certainly adds to the gameday atmosphere.

It's a shame some won't do as they're asked by their team, but to each their own I guess. I'm sure many people like that still actively support the Bison... it's just that they blend in with those who don't.

I truly believe Eric "Shotgun" Shofstien as the OC will do amazing things with his constant 4 and 5 wide-out, spread-type of offense. It really will work well in our domed stadium, where weather does not dictate the offense you run. It will be a slight culture change for NDSU, but I think the fans are ready for that type of offense. We've seen how well it works for other schools, which would be amazing to see coupled with our traditionally strong defense. Hopefully Wentz can adjust to never being under center. I could even see Thorton taking some snaps, as he would be a dangerous runner out of the spread.

You can stop with Bill Brasky. Everyone knows that is made up.

What I am getting at is you see alot more green outerwear than yellow outerwear when the temp dips. not everyone is going to run out and buy a $60.00 yellow sweatshirt or $100.00 bucks on a yellow jacket. I know PL's position is that yellow is very intimaditing to the opposing team and all that, but i feel upping my Team Maker contribution this year and last was more important than a wardrobe change and the small amount of royality that NDSU recieves off of the gold rush marketing campain. Team colors is better than 5-6 years ago when over half wore neither green or yellow.

The next year I didn't wear it during the Youngstown game because I was hauling grain (we lost)
The next year I didn't wear it to the Indiana State game (we lost)
This year I wasn't wearing it during the K-State game.. then went and put it on at halftime
So, although it goes against the gold rush order I will be wearing my lucky green sweatshirt- don't take it to mean that I am not supportive of "wearing gold" ,I'm just superstitious!:)
