FROM THE PUBLISHER
What a Year!
Mike Dragosavich
Publisher, Bison Illustrated
W
hat a year to be a Bison. I can’t believe how many inspiring
moments swept Bison Nation this year. From ESPN GameDay
to March Madness and the finalization of the new BSA. And
how about Frisco?! However, those are only the main highlights.
So many other amazing things happened this year amongst the other sports
and athletes, not to mention the academic side of our program. I don’t have
enough paper on this page to list them all. Now, the key is how do we keep
the momentum going? In my opinion it lays in the hands of people like you
and I. We are the fans and the supporters. We need to keep donating our time,
money and support to this program to help keep this progressive culture going.
Thanks
This issue marks the end of the eighth
season of Bison Illustrated. The next
season of issues starts this August. I
would like to thank everyone who has
had an impact on helping us grow this
publication.
Special thanks to
my team at Spotlight
Media, NDSU’s
Sports Information
Department, all
advertisers and all
of you out there in
Bison Nation!

We are proud to announce that
we are launching a special issue of
