So, I was thinking about ISU fans in general, and I came to a startling conclusion - because we lost last week, without some serious work on the part of promotions people at ISU, we're likely to see a crowd of 5,000 or less when we play NDSU. As someone else predicted, the casual fan (or student) will more than likely see that we lost and say something like, "Oh, well, ISU is back to their old ways. So much for football season..."


Fortunately, ISU is in a good position in that they have almost two weeks to convince everyone that A) ISU is still a damn good football team, and B) the game against NDSU could likely be the biggest home game ever played in Terre Haute for ISU football. Particularly if NDSU could beat UNI this week, they could possibly come into Terre Haute ranked #1 in the country.

So, if anyone from ISU is reading this (and you know you are), you really need to start a program RIGHT NOW to start building up this game. Remember the tension on campus and in Terre Haute leading up to the Missouri State basketball game last January? That's what needs to happen with this football game, and you're going to need all 10 days to make it happen.

OPERATION 10K is an all out effort to make sure we have at least 10,000 screaming Sycamore fans in Memorial Stadium on November 5. This game can be an EVENT in Terre Haute, like Homecoming all over again. Hell, have a damned parade if you want. Think outside the box, and don't think that Facebook is going to sell many tickets. How can you sell this game to Terre Haute? That's the big question, and the one that needs to be answered right now.

I was really disappointed in the crowd at HC (although I thought the official count was low), but now is the time to change that.

We have quite the brain trust on SycamorePride. What ideas are out there for making this happen???

Weather will play a factor, like it or not. I don't see any reason to expect a small turn out though. We should be very proud and happy with the turn out the team has been receiving this year. There were a lot of fans at the Illinois State game, too.
 
Sorry I can't be a part of the attendance figure, but I love the idea of Operation 10K.
 
Any chance of having the MBB scrimmage at 12:05 and the FB game at 2:00 linked together with "using BB ticket stub to get into the FB game." It was used last year and was fun for those of us traveling a long distance.
 
We will all be there ready to grill some bison burgers. I've been telling everyone I talk to that has an interest in football to get out to the game. Let's create a demand for more seats.

Yes, this is the perfect idea! Seriously, the tailgating food of the game should absolutely be bison burgers.

Do this.

Where's the marketing team?!?!?! Make this happen.

Ohhh buffalo meat how I love thee....(drooling, tongue out).

For those who live in the Terre Haute area, maybe there could be a campaign to write letters to the editor of the Tribune-Star, the Indy Star and the school paper with the Operation 10k idea. Someone should contact the athletic department and the alumni association to get people on the bandwagon.
 
Maybe they can contact the Green Acres Dairy Bar in North TH...

They sell bison burgers there. It would be a perfect tie-in for advertising. Of course, the animals rights activists would have a cow, I mean, would be upset.
 
Haha,
I was trying to figure out if you could eat Penguin meat before the Youngstown state game, unfortunately the Penguin fan I asked it to didn't find it as funny.

Now, that's a GREAT idea - invite the whole Wabash Valley to Memorial Stadium for a BISON cookout! If you could make the bison burgers cheap enough, you'd draw a crowd, just on the uniqueness of the idea! And then the folks would have enough left over to fork over the miniscule price for a ticket, and they could see some great football!

Someone get that idea to the athletic department!!!

.......so we are going to eat DOG the next time we play Southern Illinois????
 
Someone listened! Heard on the radio all about how awesome ISU football is and how we've been ranked a record 5 weeks etc. Lots of mentions about how we expect 10k in the stands for this huge game!!!

I sent word of Operation 10K to all the HI 99 DJ's to get it some free air time. They said their Ultimate Tailgate would be going on for the game also again!
