    Well I’ll cheer like crazy every chance I get. Never know when the next Bison game is your last. Was in town this weekend for an event and was really sad to see so few people wearing NDSU threads, on a Saturday no less. We’ve long prided ourselves on being some of the best fans in college football. Not seeing that lately. The bandwagon got a hell of a lot lighter, and the marketing team has some work to do. I have some ideas, I’ll send an email, but I’m sad to see the apathy surrounding our great football program. I’m just glad I have my BV brethren and… sistren (is that a thing?) who still care.

    . Absolutely correct. Gene Taylor and Joe Chapman would have had it done.

    If you wore the uniform...you're a champion.

    I've had multiple people I rarely speak to text me and ask who they need to get ahold of about pledging to a buyout fund.

    I think some people still care

    When you play football, you gotta like the taste of blood, And 50 percent of the time, it's your blood.

    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.

    One thing Entz said in his first year all the time was to not screw it up. To me he is just driving the ship not directing it. That doesn't sound like a leader to me.

    With due respect, I don't think marketing is the most immediate problem. Nothing kills a bad product faster than a great marketing campaign that gets people to try the sh#t. And right now, the product isn't great.

    But there is a lot of sub par product out there that moved up. Hell we are better than at least 80% of the FCS with better facilities. WHY -----look at where they are-----geography. Its really that simple. IMO Nothing else is holding us back. The football world had known about NDSU for a very long time. If we were so desirable we would have moved up a long time ago.
