Weill my buddy says that I am right, so I don't care if you are smart, you are still wrong.
Shoot me in the fucking head.

Back to the topic of the thread.
NDSU still has a long ways to go when it comes to fundraising. I believe our endowment is around 140 million. UND's is 230. Hell USD is over 200. Lawyers and doctors, I guess.
It has been getting much better with more endowed chairs, etc... but it is definitely a work in progress. There have been lots of really good programs and ideas the past several years. I've said this many times on this site, that I spent about 15 months at Texas A&M doing a MS and they call me 4 times a year and I still get mail from them regularly nearly 20 years later. Until recently, I have rarely been approached by NDSU to contribute, but maybe that is because I have been contributing on my own. But the point is that I am now getting those phone calls.
Giving Day seemed like great success. 300 K raised in a day. Thank you to everyone that gave and especially to those that put up matching funds!

Now back to your regularly scheduled bitch slap match between people that don't know each other and will never agree...
