Re: 2019 SDSU October 26th
Got a kick out of listening to Stig on the radio today. Telling SDSU players that ESPN was there because of them. ESPN is there because of the Bison make no mistake about it, the game just happens to be in SD. SDSU has done nothing that makes the rest of the country turn its TV channel to their games or even be aware of who they are without mistaking them for San Diego State Univ. Where if you mention NDSU football, people from all over the country are much more likely to have knowledge of the program. SDSU has so big time catching up to do before they can thump their chest thinking ESPN is there for them. Look at how powerful NDSU was as a draw for ESPN to come, we played Delaware State and Incarnate Word, and SDSU had to have NDSU show up for ESPN to even think of showing up in Brookings.
From the movie THE PROGRAM
Regent Chairman: This is not a football vocational school. It's an institute for higher learning.
Coach Winters: Yeah, but when was the last time 80,000 people showed up to watch a kid do a damn chemistry experiment? Why don't you stick the bow-tie up your ass?
