I remember my first year on campus (2009) and going to a volleyball game where everybody freaked out that the attendance broke 700 people, then 900 and I think the last game for the Great West title against USD they had their first 1000 crowd (I forget if it was at the Betty or ever).
Despite the way he went out, Hardee did a lot of great work to build that program. Pryor has seemed to keep the momentum going. Lets hope they cash in this weekend. Can't help to think of how great this team could be next year as well. They both have done a good job of recruiting both NoDak and Minnesota (both outstate and metro).
