    That's more of a one-time donation to get their priority points up, right?

    Yes. Depending on where that $250,000 was directed, you could get up to 5,000 priority points. If is was towards the SHAC, it would be worth 2,500 points.

    It is characteristic of the unlearned that they are forever proposing something which is old, and because it has recently come to their own attention, supposing it to be new.

    Interesting. I don't remember seeing those quotes before, only speculation from fans.
    Some say it's a backward place. Narrow minds on a narrow way, but I make it a point to say. That that's where I come from.

    Pat Simmers told me directly: If you want season tickets for football today, cut me a check for $250,000 and we'll get you in the Dome.

    I heard of one guy that said he would have given up to $250000 to get prime season tickets but didn't have to. I can also state my neighbors company got 6 season tickets this year and they didn't even give a fraction of that or are NDSU grads. They joined the lowest level of Teammakers and knew the right person to make contact with Pat. From my understanding this isn't a first time occurance either which is unfortunate.

    This can't be sitting well for the anti-Bresciani group. Should we be expecting a spin on this soon from the Dilly Bar-loving fella?

    the mayor knew exactly what he was saying and to whom...
    I like to surround myself with people who share in my inappropriate comments, sarcasm, and random shenanigans
