So back on July 24th when I originally posted this idea, I never in my wildest dreams imagined it would work out the way that it did! I think that you guys will be surprised how well this works out (at least I hope so). I originally proposed the idea of starting this to my friends as "want to help start a tradition...?" Even though I graduate in the spring, I hope that this is something that expands every year until it is completely successful. And if I can only make it back for one series a year, I plan on this being it!
Could we have done it better? I'm sure we could have... but will it still take place anyway? Of course! The students should all know what is going on (thanks facebook). Thanks to the many contacts that Leah has, we were able to involve Sioux Crew, the Athletic Department, the Ralph, Sioux Boosters, and numerous other organizations. With the support of the fans demonstrated this weekend, hopefully all the previously mentioned organizations will realize how big of an opportunity this is for future years and most support will come from people other than students to organize this. It amazes me to think that without the few emails sent out at the end of the summer and the one facebook note to a small group of my friends this may not be happening next weekend....
Can't wait to see the turnout, even if it isn't as perfect as we all hope and invision it to be. Sioux fans are dedicated and I know that this event is something that will continue and grow well into the future.
