entire night at a charity Karaoke event. With
impeccable vocals and dance moves to the song
“Let’s Get Physical” by Olivia Newton John, he
made a stamp on Boston and the New England
Patriots. Unfortunately, that stamp came on
a release form and he was on the next plane to
Fargo.
After two more years pursuing the NFL, Drago
made the decision to hang up the cleats, broom
stick and 80s head band, and focus on a new
career.
The question was then clear. What does this guy
do now? Either go back to Chicago or stay in
Fargo. The answer was even more clear – Fargo.
If there is one thing that Drago learned at NDSU,
it is that people have your back and the people are
everything. So with this desire to protect Fargo,
Drago wanted to create a business that would
help everyone realize the feeling and compassion
he received in the community of Fargo and Bison
Nation.
So a magazine was born. “FM Spotlight” was a
source of information for Fargo to find leisure
and entertainment. After the success of that
publication came three more magazines, but in
the most amazing full-circle type of events, the
fourth magazine presented to Drago was “Bison
Illustrated.”
In the second year as publisher of Bison Illustrated,
Drago then went on to start a NDSU Bison clothing
company called One Herd. (Meaning we are all in
this together.) He also started a charity that works
with One Herd to help make that meaning real.
The moral of the story is: Fargo, N.D., and NDSU’s
support structure, fan base, tradition and honesty
provide opportunities for anyone, tall, big, thin,
punter, dancer, broke, scared or lost to find
happiness and exhilaration.
Please use these football victories and exposure
opportunities to spread all the great things about
this University and community.
A special thanks to the Spotlight Media crew and
NDSU Media Relations for helping put together
this unbelievable issue.
Go Bison
