Q: How do you keep thousands of folks glued to your Twitter account? A: Tweet

With that bolded part the pitchfork will be carried by MplsBison.

The guy doing the best job of reporting the issue evenly was Tu-Uyen Tran. From my sources, Tran was "too balanced" in the eyes of the Leigh Jeanotte crowd and they made enough noise to the assignment editors at GFH and the change to Haga was made. Haga is much more to the Jeanotte crowd's liking.

How is O'Day seeing a 16-team Big Sky? There aren't that many western FB schools (FBS or FCS). And there aren't that many "DU" (BB only) schools in the west either. If Utah goes Pac-10 and LaTech goes for better geography I see 30 western FB schools in the equation he's talking about: MWC: USAFA, BYU, CSU, UNM, SDSU, TCU, UNLV, Wyo WAC: BSU, FSU, Hawaii, Idaho, Nevada, NMSU, SJSU, USU BSC: Sac, EWU, Mont, MSU, Weber, NAZ, NoColo, ISU, PSU Great West: Poly, Davis, SUU, UND, USD If the MWC would decide to go for 14 to 16 teams there aren't that many left for O'Day's "14 to 16 team" BSC unless it were merged into a two-tiered (FBS/FCS) WAC.

"Judge, I am not guilty of robbing that bank. It's not my fault that the state didn't provide me with a cop to constantly remind me that bank robbery is illegal. He could have warned me and stopped me from robbing it. I am not taking the blame for your lack of oversight."

I'm more than a little surprised to see the Montana AD say something like that on the record.

What would happen if a character from Disney's "Beauty and the Beast" had plastic surgery that went terribly wrong ... Before ... After ...

... or the offensive firepower and confidence in it to overcome letting a couple bad goals get by.

Clearly the author has not spoken to me.

What's the longest sentence in the English language? I do.

Why are the playing two on Sunday and two today instead of alternating "east on Monday, west on Tuesday"? Or will they go to that after tonight?

But a return to the pre- "Roundtable on Higher Education" days is bad for everyone. This fiasco gives the legislators that want to return there plenty of political ammunition.

Daylight? Yes. But I fear this will put all the campuses in the NDUS under an old-school "bare bulb interogation" every time they attempt any construction. Thanks for the gift that'll keep on giving Joe.

They'll break it, but they'll face the consequences.

I always thought they needed a guy named "Pilot" to play along side Brad Bombardir. " ... Pilot to Bombardir ... bombs away! ... "

Seems someone disabled the "governor on the truck". Oversight doesn't fix that until after the violations happen. And the violator must face the consequences.

Why are you testing the governor of the truck at all? Know the rules; stay within them.

Drive 63 in a 55 mph zone yesterday and not get caught. No problem. Drive 63 in a 55 mph zone today and get caught. Surely the problem is oversight. However, in the NDSU president's house matter, it's more like going 150 in a 55 mph zone. Or would that be 2,400,000 in a 900,000 zone. Again, oversight issues.

Certainly, but why did it have to come to this? Upgraded oversight measures will be the effect. We all know the cause.

Guy goes to the bar and orders an Ovechkin. Bartender says, "What's that?" "A white russian not on ice and with no Cup." Bah-dump-bump ... TING!
