Let's fill the stadium and jam the airwaves/internet with Oredigger Pride. You're gonna want to be part of this...

Great to see so many @MinesFootball alumni at the game yesterday, especially the first QB1 I ever saw light up Marv Kay Stadium - 2016 Harlon Hill Trophy winner @Justin_Dvorak. We're rooting for @john_matocha in this year's balloting. We'll know Friday. Go Orediggers!

Oredigger Nation gathering in McKinney TX Saturday. Let's fill the stadium with Blue and Silver for @MinesFootball. See you there. Go Orediggers!
