Forget AC/DC...
If Kyle Emanuel could come out and play Thunderstruck live for the Bison Intro, I could die a happy Bison fan knowing I've seen the most awesomest sight possible on this earth. Imagine this...
Place: FargoDome
Time: Season Opener moments before Kickoff
As usually the lights drop, phones begin to flash green and gold, and the crowd roars to life. Everyone in the Dome turns to the new massive HD screens to witness the gloriousness of the Bison Intro flash on their millions of pixels (except PL, he's like "meh"
). As the seconds tick by nothing happens and the crowd noise begins to silence. Concerned fans turn to one another and ask if something is wrong? Just then the spotlights zero in on a single person standing on the 50 yard line. As they watch the figure slowly walk out to centerfield, one by one they begin to notice the #53 Bison Jersey and the person wearing it is Kyle Emanuel. The crowd roars back to life and reaches a crescendo just as he reaches a microphone stand sitting in the center of the field. He pauses for a long moment allowing the astonished crowd to quiet back down once again. When finally the Dome has reached a pin drop silence, he leans slowly into the microphone and says, "Bison Nation... this ones for you". With all the quickness of a blitzing NFL linebacker, he kicks over the mic stand and swings an electric guitar emblazed with a neon glowing Bison over his shoulder. As the opening riffs of Thunderstruck begin to shred off of the guitar strings the video boards of the Dome come to life displaying the epic plays of Bison history in a High Definition glory and scale the awestruck fans in attendance have never before imagined. As the Championship banner slowly begins to rise, Middle aged men begin to scream like 13 year old girls at a Taylor Swift concert, knitters start taking shots of Fireball in the stands, Anish Shroff rips open his shirt revealing a "I heart Bison" tattoo emblazed across his chest to an enthralled ESPN audience. As the banner reaches it perch amongst the rafters of the FargoDome, and Emanuel slows to the finale of Thunderstruck, fireworks erupt as the Bison storm the field. The season to chase a sixth straight National Championship has finally begun.
