Friend of mine who is from Pierre, played football at Black Hills State, huge Nebraska fan traveled down to Omaha to watch Creighton play in the bracketbuster challenge this weekend. I have made him into a Jackrabbit fan having taken him to a football game and tailgating and generally by osmosis.
He was wearing a Jackrabbit hat I gave him and to his surprise was approached by 3 separate SDSU fans in two different establishments. An attorney and a banker from Omaha and Brock Gentile. The attorney ended up buying supper and drinks for the guys. Gentile was getting ready to play a game for the Omaha Beef. My friend was so surprised to see and be recognized by other Jackrabbit fans that he had to give me a call.
I'm not saying that the move to DI has increased our exposure outside of South Dakota, I'm just reporting what happened to a fairly new, unknowing Jackrabbit fan.
