Yeah, you can only hear so many Any Given Sunday speeches before they lose their edge. Although if it helps the players so be it I guess... but I could do without his stuff in the fan hype videos.
Maybe they should see if Al Pacino is available for pre-game motivation???
I don't get it. Standard is a poor choice unless used something like, The Gold Standard. By definition standard is "a basis for comparison. Other definitions of standard use the words usual, average and normal in them. NDSU Football is way better than average. So OK, Dominate the Standard, what is so great about that since it doesn't seem like the bar is set high enough.
Even though I don't like Ford trucks their slogan, "we are the bar" is a great one.
I'm fairly certain they're referencing NDSU as the standard to win championships. Until proven otherwise, the style of play NDSU uses is the way to win championships in FCS football. Hence the standard. Now go dominate whatever you need to in order to remain the standard. Not a tough marketing slogan to figure out. However, I doubt the marketing department has much say over whatever phrases the coaching staff is going to use to motivate the team for a given year. "Attack the Process" and "Dominate the Standard" sound like something straight out of a motivational speaker's notes... *Ben Newman ahem* Like has been said before, whatever motivates the athletes to perform year-round to produce championships is just fine for me.

If you leave tailgating hungry and thirsty, you're doing it wrong
I am so sick of the Bison already. Win this, win that, blah, blah, blah. I'd really, really like to know how they do it. I swear they have to be the luckiest sob's on the planet. Just sick of this bs, just fed up.
Would you bet your mortgage on the standard being " to win championships. Until proven otherwise, the style of play NDSU uses is the way to win championships in FCS football. Hence the standard. Now go dominate whatever you need to in order to remain the standard"?
Another definition of "standard" is:
: a conspicuous object (such as a banner) formerly carried at the top of a pole and used to mark a rallying point especially in battle or to serve as an emblem
Pretty sure they want Bison fans to dominate tailgating.

They could have just said "Seven of Eight" and left it at that.
The only reason some people get lost in thought is because it's unfamiliar territory.
