The Sicatoka

Now I know what Bohl meant when he said his players were being "very cooperative" with investigators.

Will that cover their legal expenses?

Darell: If the NCAA answers those two questions in a bad way for NDSU, they've already used those players in a game this season.

IF (<-- note the big IF) it came to the point of "wins get erased" I don't believe it'd be from LOIC but more likely from the eligibility status of those players based on this: The NCAA's version (the only version that matters) of the answers to those two questions could go either way. And all it takes is using one ineligible player to void a game.

Ah, ... work release.

So do Cavalier and Oakes pool together and buy in bulk?

I think Stevie Ray Vaughn (RIP) should get credit for this idea as his tune gave me the idea. The North Dakota Crossfire

Rob Port and Al Carlson (and their mission to lay waste to the ND SBoHE and the concept of local control) will latch onto this issue in ... three, two, uh, too late.

Yup.

I saw an actual television commercial for it on Midco last night.

Sounds to me like a potential new remedial class at NDSU.

More twists and turns: http://www.inforum.c...icle/id/373553/ Seems the basis on which the company paid is coming into question. However, just because someone offers what may turn out to be illegal incentive payments doesn't mean you get a pass on filing a false affidavit. Taking the notion to the (admittedly) monstrous extreme to make the point: Someone may put a million dollar "hit" out there on whomever (a quota system; but both actions are still illegal, meaning the pay offer and the "hit"). If you perform the "hit", claiming you did it for the incentive (the money) doesn't clear you of the murder. Just because your boss may have offered to pay "per signature" (illegal in ND) doesn't allow you to fake names on a petition or sign a false affidavit when you turn the petition in. (However, it may "mitigate" what the court system does to you.)

Reading through the updated bios of the current UND mens hockey roster I noticed that Colton St. Clair graduated from Fargo South HS. I guess I can't think of any other South graduate to play mens hockey for UND. Yeah, yeah, he never wore a South jersey; he just graduated from FSHS while playing for the USHL's Fargo Force. I know. I know. I know there've been Fargo North graduates (Williams, Kaiser, O'Leary), but I can't come up with any Fargo South graduates. Anyone?

If you want to play the UND thing in the middle I've already tossed in the idea of ... SCOUNDRELS

Yes, I believe it was part of Freud's weltanschauung.

Yes. http://publicsearch.ndcourts.gov/CaseDetail.aspx?CaseID=2442059

Earlier this summer NDSU LB Brendan Jemison was dismissed from the NDSU team when the reports came out he was about to be charged with a class A misdemeanor. He was gone before the charges were filed. These guys: A misdemeanor, not yet charged, but still on team. That discrepancy is what is being questioned. I know many are saying "there's more that Bohl knew when he decided on Jemison" but that, honestly, is a whisper campaign and no one should be in favor of those. If there's more Bohl should've been clear as to why the Jemison situation is different. Yes, he gave a "not drugs, not sexual" answer about why the current eight are still on the team. It sounds nice, but is unsatisfying to the media because "it is NOT ..." isn't an answer. The media wants the "it IS ..." answer. If you don't give the media an "it IS ... " answer they'll go and dig to find one* (and may not be pleasant to people they believe to be withholding in the mean time). *No guarantees what they find is really the right "it IS ..." answer either.

Just remember, we're always a lawn mower toss away from problems. It takes daily diligence on the small stuff to keep the big stuff at bay.

It would've been medical marijuana in the pipe except ...

Here's what really makes me laugh: Bohl (and assumably Taylor) knew about this since before the season started (Bohl said for a couple weeks during his presser) but didn't do anything. Bohl could have easily sat those eight (or is it more since yesterday?) for the Robert Morris game as "team discipline" and no one would've been the wiser. Then, when the AG and SecState came out this week Bohl could have come before for the cameras and said "It's a matter that's been dealt with internally. If more needs to be done that decision will be made after the charges play out in court." Bing! He'd be done and he'd look absolutely golden. And he'd have cover with administration, fans, and media until the justice system did run its course. As an added bonus, a one-game suspension sets a tone for what he believes the punishments should be. He should've seen dealing with it up front would save trouble later. (That's the lesson everyone can learn from Penn State by the way.) Instead, now, he's having to deal with questions about "Why is Jemison gone but these guys still there for the same A misdemeanor charge?" and "Are you sure that this isn't related to a big game on Saturday?"

Be nice. Go to http://publicsearch....ov/default.aspx ; select Cass County; click the "Criminal\Traffic" link; Last name: Ojuri; First name: Samuel; Click Search at the bottom of the page. He must be a nice young man. Fargo Police seem to like to chat with him. But you'd hope he'd get those windows fixed by now (after two conversations).

This just showed up in my IM. They didn't want to post it themselves. I'll do it for them because their posits seem reasonable (as do their reasons for not posting themselves).

How come the words "identity theft" haven't come up, or doesn't that apply. I was broadsided by a drunk driver about 30 years ago. If you want to make DUI a felony I'm all for it because what they did is an A misdemeanor (and DUI is worse than that by your statement).
