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.

Hitchhike. That, or they steal cars from airport security.

The title game will be set to make the most money for someone, not to determine a champion.

No, the day was August 5, 2005. In reality, FSU, Utah, and CMU are on life-support, dangling by the string called "the whims of tribal politics". Or worse, dangling by the string called "what will the NCAA do next?" (aka the whims of academia-minded groupthinkers). The NCAA could decide to drop the "exception policy" tomorrow and they'd be stuck. As much as this feels terrible, I'd rather deal with it now instead of continually be swingin' in the wind on a string.

Remember, Heisenberg's list isn't an "in order" ranking but more of a "relative interest by teams" listing of players. https://spreadsheets0.google.com/spreadsheet/pub?hl=en&key=0AoPLTHefMmmTdGloMlVHTFFGNldvRHR3aG9naW82cEE&hl=en&gid=8

Hockey is wearing Reebok (or at least was last season).

It was me. I was going to re-title it but couldn't decide what a clearer title would be. I decided to close it instead. I figured those interested would start a new thread with a better title.

I think I made my second-round picks already by default back here: Re-reading that, I think I took all the home teams this weekend.

So do we add tOSU to this list as the guy who ran the team last season is being replaced by Urban Meyer?

If Akron really did that, I guess I know why they call their teams the Zips. That's how much common sense they have: Zip.

I think UND picked their poison and decided to focus on 8, not the brother 13. It wasn't good on the old GI tract to watch 13 do the damage, but UND survived it ... twice.

Mario had a better game Friday, when he was on the wing. But Rowney was losing too many faceoffs Friday at center, so Hak swapped them. Mario was better on faceoffs on Saturday but didn't have as good of an overall game. I know the solution: Carter -- work on taking draws!

Part of JMU at NDSU will come down to whether or not one side can get up two scores and really start to dictate pace. If it's NDSU, I don't seem JMU having comeback offense. If it's JMU, they'll grind the clock and it'll put pressure onto that bad turf-toe of the NDSU QB as NDSU will be forced to throw.

What happened? UND tie and then WIU hit 3, or classic BB where 0:19 seconds takes 30 minutes and 20 free throws.

Keep talking ... someone's listening.

They call that "style points". It's a misnomer.

EKU would seem to be the better matchup for NDSU. EKU seems "lighter" and would probably be easier to push around and run against.

What were they doing? Being servicable to solid role players. Just like guys like Ryan Martens, or Tom Benson, or Mike LaMoine, or Mario Lamoureux (some legacies, some not). UND's team style needs those guys. And if you can get them to come in with little to no scholarship impact, isn't that a good thing?
