That’s true for every other team in the nation. We could lose every game and still fans would come from three states over.

Don’t matter who’s coaching. Gary Bronco Kalani. Doesn’t matter who’s playing.

We know winning. We know losing. We know impossible.

We are not a football school. Not basketball. Not soccer. Not research. Not academic.

We are our own brand and there’s nothing quite like it. And we are not the strongest brand. Notre Dame Texas Alabama Ohio St. So many other stronger brands. But hey none of those brands had to start from scratch 10 years ago and branch into independence. ND has always been independent and able to call their shot so that’s not really adversity is it?

We also have our own broadcast network.

We will not just survive but continue to thrive despite all the variables any of you think are important. Tell me what has to happen for us to fade into irrelevance.
