Thanks, BWS, for bringing this up today. I was going to post a note on it today as well.
A few thoughts:
As we watch the team play, I hope ss.com members notice the knee braces worn by our offensive linemen. These are Don Joy braces (the best available) that WE purchased for the team last year. The OLs would have braces had we not gotten involved but they would not be Don Joys. Thanks to all that contributed.
There hasn't been much activity at all since the $3K was raised. I had heard from some folks that indicated they would donate but they have not done so, it would be great if you did help!
When Let's Help Bubba was launched in August of last year, we were coming off a great year (terrible finish) and most everyone was on the Bubba bandwagon. Therefore, I used "Bubba" in the name of the fundraising effort. With the poor season last year along with some ups and downs this year, some fans are down on Bubba and some of his staff. PLEASE DON'T WITHHOLD YOUR CONTRIBUTION DUE TO THE THOUGHT THAT OUR GOAL IS TO HELP THIS COACHING STAFF. While the staff certainly benefits from our help, we are helping the UND team and its players. We would be doing this no matter who is on the coaching staff. While I think everyone really understands this, I have heard the comment "I don't want to help Bubba - we need to make a change!"
Thanks!
