Gene Taylor to Kansas State!

[Mr Meaty]

Gene has many excellent qualities but the main one is his vision. Great leaders can see ahead and move the entire organization there.

Most people have this skill. The challenge is to hone and use it well.

Larson has it, Taylor has it, even Entzion had. Of course, Bob diverted much of his energy to troll for queers and couldn't simultaneously operate his gaydar and police sting awareness program at the same time.

When Gene Taylor succeeds, Bison Nation rejoices. I'm glad we got the chance to beat Iowa while he was there though. Don't tell me Gene didn't smile just a little bit when the ball sailed through those uprights that day.

I picture his hands up in the air while saying "I told you guys."

A few years ago I was in IC for a game and stopped in and saw Gene. Had an interesting conversation talking about comparable fan bases passion and hard nose brand of football. When I asked him if they were still going to play the Bison after we seal clubbed the Cyclowns he told me that he and Barta were catching bits and pieces of the game while watching the Hawkeys game. At the end of the game Gene said he looked at Barta and said--"""who was the idiot that scheduled those guys" Barta said "" who ever it was he needs to be fired""

My fondest memory of GT was the day the Big Sky turned us down for a conference invite. I ran into him at the Union as a student and he was completely devastated. It was a 10 second conversation but the jist of it was that he refused to fail and that he would get us into a conference that we would be proud of. Indeed Mr. Taylor, indeed. Good luck at K-State!

Really happy for Gene. I think it really demonstrates what a special place this is that an AD can leave and you still have the fans cheering for him to succeed and even the guy himself still openly roots for us (when we're not playing them).

Too bad the Bison play Oregon in 2020 and don't have an open date that year; GT could have bought out the UND game and, instead, scheduled the Bison.......it would be just another "f'hawk you" to the F'Hawkers.........nice.

[ByeSonBusiness]

My favorite Gene memory is when NDSU was rolling out that stupid Emo Bison logo, I sent him an email about how ugly it was. Like half an hour later he emailed me back explaining the process a bit.

Good luck, hope he nails the football coach hire when the time comes.

[Bison Loaf]

Gene's vision was much-needed, his leadership was impeccable, his character was refreshing, his scheduling was leading-edge, and his "dealings" (or un-dealings) with UND were absolutely inspired.

An NDSU legend..............no doubt!
