    T. Boone Pickens is the really big money at OK St. Hamm could be as well, though, don't know.

    We all live in stories... It seems to me that a definition of any living vibrant society is that you constantly question those stories... The argument itself is freedom. It's not that you come to a conclusion about it. Through that argument you change your mind sometimes... That's how societies grow. When you can't retell for yourself the stories of your life then you live in a prison... Somebody else controls the story. - S. Rushdie

    Two big economic impacts for ND, Oil and Agriculture. Both are in the toilet. Those without jobs probably won't be donating.

    I think TeamMakers used to announce in the fall how much money was raised in the past year. Kinda thought it was announced around Home Coming. I don't recall seeing anything this year, but maybe I missed it. Anyone know?

    They generally announce it in February during a basketball game. Simmers comes out with one of those giant cardboard checks and gobison reports three different numbers in a press release and nobody knows what exactly they mean. Give it a couple more weeks for the 2015 numbers.

    Does the 50/50 raffle count towards this?

    Yes, but it's an admittedly tiny portion of the total. The vast, vast, vast majority is from football seat fees. Wouldn't be surprised if the seat fee portion exceeds 90-95% of Team Makers revenue.

    They gave a break down at the annual meeting. I was surprised at how little the 50/50 was. And we really increased our membership.
    Maybe Road remembers...
    I like to surround myself with people who share in my inappropriate comments, sarcasm, and random shenanigans

    They presented a check at one of the basketball games, can't remember the amount but it was the largest ever I believe. 3.5 to 4 million range comes to mind.
