It really is amazing how one man and his visions and ideas can change things so much so quickly, and this is just the beginning. I wasn't at the game thursday, but have watched snippets of the team entrances and talked to some friends about how it was, and folks, it's only going to get better. I really think in bowling in the stadium is a must and I can't wait to see it. I think BVD was of the old guard of just managing an athletic department, not transforming it into what many thought was not possible. I think our fan base is a sleeping giant, made so by decades of terrible to mediocre football at best. I seem to always use them as an example, but Bill Snyder transformed K-State and look how the purple people responded. There's no way we can't do the same, as we are a superior land-grant uni than K-State (see national rankings) and Manhattan doesn't have a whole lot on Ames.
