Recruit? Well, kinda, sorta, ... http://www.grandforksherald.com/event/article/id/223086/group/UND%20sports/

Given Portland State in 2012 is non-conference, and that PSU and UND will be in the same conference going forward, and that UND got $150k from UCA, I suspect (don't know) that the PSU game is a single game deal.

PS - Minot and Williston got hosed. Eastern bias. Hot goalie. Etc. Etc.

They should be recruiting the northern Alberta oil fields for workers for western ND/Bakken formation. Those guys would think they've moved to the equator.

If Omaha has multiple people in the penalty box, does the second to last one out have to call ... UNO! ... before going back onto the ice? I think they should have to, and if they forget they should have to put two more guys back in the box.

International Falls got hosed! Eastern bias!

But that would be the ultimate "Unspeakable Name". I'd claim He has a good lawyer to take on the ACLU, but we all know there aren't any lawyers where He lives.

Alternatively, if promises (commitments?) were made, you'd hate to renig and have that image spread about.

Just put "YHWH" on the front of the jerseys. (We'll see who figures out the what and why for that. )

Scholarships are one-year arrangements (contrary to what some will try to tell you). Did they earn it for their second year? Did they earn it for their third year? Did they earn it for their fourth year? Did they earn it for their fifth year? I think that's the same question in each case.

When they had the ball, a 3 point lead, and 32 seconds to play, and then travelled, I figured it was the beginning of the end. And then to travel again on the next possession ...

Inch. Mile.

That won't be it. I expect some contrived process where various aggrieved groups (aka the Cabal of Victimhood) participate in the process along with students, fans, and alumni, as "equal partners" but the Cabal will have veto power as well. (Think about it: " ... the pigs are more equal ... " -- George Orwell) If you've never seen the campy, so-so movie "PCU" watch that and you'll see how the process will work. The cause-heads will be out in force.

Sweeney? Uh, if you were listening to UND Radio that would be Tim Hennessy. If you were listening to UAA's television, that'd be UAA's Haider. Glad to see that you caught yourself on that. Actually, Haider isn't too bad to listen to. But good grief, you could string out a red squirrel on crack and meth and put it behind the television camera and get better images.

Many college teams are scheduling into 2018, 2019, and 2020 right now. Seriously. Finding something for 9 months from now is near impossible when teams are scheduling for 9 years from now.

Fixed and clarified that post for you. * ... "the wrong teams" are any teams not in the private elitist clubs called the SEC, ACC, Big {integer here}, Big {Roman numeral here}, or Pac {integer here}.

NDSU folks like to say UND would never get into a conference because it was "too isolated". What never made sense to me is that UND and NDSU are 75 miles (not 750 miles) apart. If one is isolated, so is the other by the nature of ... 75 miles apart. Now someone has pointed this out to them and they are devastated. {shrug} Oh well ...

The process is yet to be defined ... which scares the **** out of me.

I'm surprised there's no reciprocity with Illinois. North Dakota has reciprocity with: Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, and Wisconsin through Midwest Student Exchange Program. Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, South Dakota, Utah, Oregon, Washington and Wyoming through Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education. (The bold are Big Sky Conference states.) .

Do you only count "C" or "A" also (Stafford)?

Was the ad cheesy? Yes. Was it horrific and degrading to {insert sub-category from Cabal of Victimhood here}? Uh, no, other than maybe to Vikings. (They threw something at him!) I communicated with a guy who has a daughter attending UND. His first reaction after watching the ad was not, "Holy cow! I've got to get her out of there! She's being educated by a Viking professor! The Vikings mascot might be hitting on her! The Vikings are having a terrible season! What if she marries the Vikings mascot? How could I ever live that down?"

To be considered an alumnus you only have had to have matriculated, not graduated.

I see a team that learned how to win and built some confidence in its abilities. Hopefully the coaching staff did the same. They'll need that and more in the Big Sky.

It was Sun Country when I flew on UND charters.

Yup. Teams like Boise State and TCU were costing the bowl games and the superconferences too much money so they changed the rules (of their game) again.
