Working on some tailgating items

[TAILG8R]

A while back I saw some NCAA logo branding irons for branding your steaks when grilling. [LINK]

I did a little research and tracked down the contact info for a distributor and asked about the possibility of having NDSU branding irons made. It took a while to get a response but I did finally hear back from them.

Here's some of what was in his email:
"I apologize for taking a month to answer your request. I decided to do some research into the licensing for schools such as NDSU and check into the available manufacturing of a shorter run. On our current list of available schools, we must order a minimum of 1,000 pieces and our best selling teams such as Texas only sell about 1,500 total annually. So, I needed to find a manufacturer with smaller minimums.

I have secured initial approval for licensing to make an NDSU bbq branding iron. My next obstacle is finding out how to open the channels of distribution in that area. We won't be able to secure a sales rep for one item, so we'll have to go it alone."

Later in the email he states that this will be there first license (since they are just distributors of the others) and asks for help with ideas on who might be interested in selling them. Yes I have contacted scheelsguy already.

So this fall at tailgating when you bite into a juicy steak with a NDSU logo seared into it, just think of the little people who got the ball rolling.

I also won't turn down said juicy steak as a gesture of thanks

Ok I have to ask who is going to be the first crazy tailgaiting drunk that wakes up with Bison Branded on his Arse.

A brand will work as well as a tattoo to join the Holy Order of Bison. Submit pics to bisonmike2, the archcharlatan of the church. Your check will be in the mail.

I think we need a Bison iron to get some asses moving on the new arena project!

[Bison55]

Oh -but the Arena is a priority "wink wink"

But we can't build it in these financial times, even though a lot of other arena's are either going up or being renovated on campuses across the contry "excuse excuse"

'USMC's still do that once in a while. Another reason it's good to be a soldier.

And I was under the impression that pinning was the thing to do.
