    Drago,

    I think it would be cool if there was a story or series of stories about those who went on to play pro ball. Something giving some insight into the Challenges of making a team, daily rigors, etc.

    Here's an idea for you Drago. How about media by the numbers. Back in teh D2 days it was common to get only 2 games televised, mostly local or statewide with UND. Here are the media numbers for last year (I'll try to provide links) Literraly we had MILLIONS of viewers and that's not an exaggeration.

    Also I heard we had some televised games that were pushing a 50 share in North Dakota.
    The tv schedule is here http://www.gobison.com/SportSelect.d...95&SPSID=11844

    TV COVERAGE
    2 - ESPN Games (espn2 and espn) with 2,078,000 viewers http://www.bisonville.com/forum/show...l+game+ratings (which combined was better than several bowl games)
    3 - ESPN Gameplan (robert morris, sdsu playoffs, and wofford)
    9 - ESPN3/Watch ESPN (simulcast)
    2 - Fox College Sports (national tv simulcast statewide)
    9 - Statewide NBC Network (colorado state was broadcast in Denver too)
    1 - Midco Sports Net
    1 - KVLY (UNI simulcast in Iowa)

    This doesn't include the Spring Game that was broadcast on statewide NBC live and numerous game replays, including HDNet

    THen you have media plugs that include
    for video, click this thread
    http://www.bisonville.com/forum/show...ght=2012+media

    espn top 10 plays twice (3 plays), espn highlights of championship game, college gameday, and our helmet was on scott van pelt for about a week.


    Then you have our massive radio network that spans from Montana, ND, Canada, MN, and SD that now features longer pre and post game shows which are also streamed live on the web and on the radio fargo moorhead app. Need local radio coverage? It's on AM and FM in Fargo. (101.9 FM and 79O AM) Don't forget Bison Feedback. There was several Bison discussions on KFAN with Paul Allen, Corey Chavous, and Ben Leber on KFAN in Minneapolis and Patrick Reusse.

    Then you have the Craig Bohl Football Show which airs twice on statewide TV and on Midco Sports and was extended another month due to the playoffs. We now have a 30 minute pregame show too

    And don't forget we sold out every home game with standing room only tickets while becoming a big road draw
    Northern Iowa - Top home draw was... NDSU
    Colorado State - 2nd biggest draw was... NDSU (didn't count game in denver on neutral site)
    USD playing away from home with a terrible record... NDSU was 2nd biggest draw
    Illinois State - 3rd biggest draw (late in year not students)
