Q with the shout-out to The Beach in the interview. Nice.

Makes you wonder if having General Armacost (USAF, Ret) at the helm of UND didn't aid the Senators and UND and Grand Forks. And the "National Security Corridor" update to Harrington Hall makes way more sense now. https://blogs.und.edu/campus-renewal/2023/07/harrington-hall/

Hey Dan, say you're a county snow plow driver. What you doing when you're told your pay will go down for the next five years. Or would you rather they stop doing maintenance on roads and bridges. Fewer sheriff's deputies? Holding the line on budget is near impossible right now; in my industry things are up 30-60% since 2019. I don't like it but I understand it: The county is struggling with inflation just like every business and household. NOTE: No politics, just abstract concepts (budget, inflation), are discussed above.

Normally don't like a Senator's "PR" site, but, exception: https://www.hoeven.senate.gov/news/news-releases/hoeven-sky-range-is-a-game-changer-for-hypersonic-missile-testing-builds-upon-partnerships-weve-brought-to-the-grand-forks-region

Well, at least the Twins won't break the 1951 Dodgers record of blowing a 13.5 game lead in August ... but that 7 5 gamer lead doesn't feel solid. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1951_National_League_tie-breaker_series

The sit rule never made sense to me at HS level if they're coming back to the HS they left: OK, you're worried a kid went away, played tougher competition, came back, and will be better in NDHSAA play ... but by that same logic, the kids who stayed will get better by playing tougher competition (the guy who came back). That would raise the level of play in NDHSAA, wouldn't it?

At this point, I'd agree.

Oh. Wow. That's just hurtful.

Well that surely puts some swirl into the water. The assumption was brother James would follow him to the Crimson; now what ... If I were snarky I'd say ... BU's NIL offer must've hit the number ...

My guess: Same as my basement -- long straight walls are not as strong as a wall with some "breaks" in it (effectively a series of smaller, stronger walls).

You should see the foundation plan of my house: longest straight basement wall is sixteen feet. A two foot bump or jut here and there. Those strengthen the overall structure.

Wherever might you have heard such whispers ...

Idaho has become the "Northern Iowa" of the BSC. They're the fashionable pick. Sometimes they back it up and sometimes not. I suspect an up year this year for them. PS - since December 8, 2001, that's "Saint" Luke Schleusner, patron saint of one career broken tackle.
