NDSU TO FBS. HAVEN'T WE WON ENOUGH?
I hope all are trying to contact people within the know and tell them the support Pres B has. I have done what I can do.
"Sometimes a concept is baffling not because it is profound but because it is wrong" E. O. Wilson
"I'm not crazy my mother had me tested". Sheldon Cooper
My boss hates it when I shorten his name to Dick, mainly because his name is Steven.
All need to try to do something. I wrote Dr. B a snail mail letter supporting him. I contacted my state legislators within minutes of hearing that his contract was not renewed. All are very supportive of higher education and definitely were "on it" doing what they can. Last year in response to a negative article on DB (above the fold, front page, natch). I called the Forum and asked that they "not send that paper to this house ever again." Not the subscription lady's fault but she wanted to kinow why (this was not chit-chat, she filled out a form). I did not hold back. I let "er" rip. Livid.
Several years ago, I was speaking with a Forum columnist and I mentioned "clipping columns" so he knew I subscribed. He said "oh, you are the kind that the Forum really likes because that is where the income is "(being a subscriber). Since then I have received 2 "teaser" Forums thrown on my porch as an enticement but did not budge. I removed the orange plastic covering (good for picking up dog turds and recycled the paper sight unseen.
This new budget "crisis" up North has reminded me how much Dean has done for NDSU. I am thankful we have had his leadership. Black balling non contract holders from certain coaches and banning other media activity was stupid. At least they listened to the alumni and city and corrected course. Hopefully he can whether the storm and lead NDSU into the next Decade.
Reading Port's logic reminds me of a Jon Stewart bit from a few years ago laughing at FoxNews.
Step 1) Port writes piece slamming Bresciani.
Step 2) Forum writes piece saying "Some sources are reporting that Bresciani is a bad leader."
Step 3) Port writes,"See I am obviously correct because even the Fargo Forum is reporting the same information I reported.
The weather in Fargo keeps the undesirables out.....
...Which is why I live near the Twin Cities.
I see there was a half page ad in the Forum today in support of Bresciani signed by quite a few people.
