UND Fan Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Bubba is very thankful for our assistance with the ankle braces. His note to us: "Thank you all for your generous contributions to UND Football Priority Needs "Ankle Brace Initiative". Your continued support is greatly appreciated." We are now ready to launch Bubba 3. As discussed earlier, upgrading our video equipment so players can view practice and game film outside of Memorial Stadium will certainly help them prepare for future opponents. The goal for this initiative is $5,000. Your participation will be appreciated. Here is the link: www.undalumni.org/bubba3 UND BIZ - if you could pin this at the top if the FB thread like you did with Bubba 2, it would be appreciated. I am going to post another comment or two regarding our helping the program, etc. separately. Over the last 2-3 weeks, I have learned a few things of interest. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarnWinterSportsEngelstad Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 $3900 was raised if $3000 went to the first funding drive, $3000 + this $5000 = $8000 total drive. Therefore we are $100 short of half way there? Should be good traffic on this forum this week with 2 Big Games at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzie82 Posted October 22, 2018 Share Posted October 22, 2018 Could you translate that to English, please? The ankle brace fund filled up, correct? How much has been donated towards the $5000 for the video equipment? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post UND Fan Posted October 22, 2018 Author Popular Post Share Posted October 22, 2018 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! 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
