Outstanding in two ways! Good job MBB team! Good job Coach Jones and staff!

Those folks love one thing more than their PC-brand of liberalism: Their power. If they vote this in they've handed more power over their domains to the NCAA. An NCAA that is: - looking at who is in your practices (no men in womens practices?) - the articles your SIDs run on the website (ratios of mens to womens stories) - hiring practices of your school for coaches (and Black Coaches Association report cards) Are they really going to vote to hand away some of their power? If so, I hope they get everything coming to them.

Take heart in the following words from here: and here:

PCM and I are in the process of buying a series of local, but high power, stations around the region. I'm going to be Ops Manager and Program Director; he's going to be the News Director, Sports Director, and Prime On-Air Talent. Our format: "All PCM, all the time!" We'll be bidding on UND Athletics.

A wise (old) man told me once: Anybody can say anything. To me, that statement from Brand was, quite simply, posturing.

I've always tempered my lacrosse musings with "If UND were to go DI ..." Well, that "if" is no more. And now Canadian schools (lax is the "other" national sport of Canada) are a real possibility in the NCAA. If should be an interesting ride.

Holding just over 15k, I think she'd be a "go" too. http://www.mtscentre.ca/

No answer yet to this, and now more money down this rat hole .... NDSU to appeal Ellis ruling

The biggest wind(bag) in ND is back on KFGO. http://www.in-forum.com/articles/index.cfm...mp;section=news Now I'm going to the window to look for four angry dudes on horseback.

Ah, the whims of tribal politics, where everything is always good and righteous and pure.

I agree with these two. Why? Imagine Joe Chapman as Chancellor. Imagine Charles Kupchella as Chancellor.

That was us too. But it was a dollar bill when we gave it. Signed, The Vast Fighting Sioux Conspiracy " ... if you only knew ... "

We're behind it all. Signed, The Vast Fighting Sioux Conspiracy " ... if you only knew ... "

Let's recap for folks who don't "get" this: It's pretty simple.

Did you say "forensic accounting misadventures"? You mean like NDSU and SDSU both having perfect karma where expenses were met exactly, to the dollar, by revenues in FY 2006? Now that's good karma. Poor, poor UND. Their revenues didn't exactly match expences. There was a $350k difference, a difference where revenues exceeded expenses. http://ope.ed.gov/athletics/InstList.asp Somebody caused NDSU's numbers to match to the dollar. Who? Tell me or you're hiding something!

What's so hard about this? Bills?

Kind of like Florida compared to Appalachian State this year? And how does one "rank" popular sports? By their championship game being televised on a network? Their semi-finals? The whole last four playing down being made into a weekend-long prime publicity event? And finally, what does this have to do with Bohl not being hired at Minnesota?

The school on the southern edge of Winnipeg may disagree with you.

So humor us: Point to one that UND and the State lost as badly as NDSU lost in the Ellis case.

Where's the Fargo Forum story on what the AG's office billed NDSU for representing them against George Ellis' (successful) age discrimination lawsuit? PS - We taxpayers did pay for that one. We paid Ellis. We paid Ellis' attorney. We paid the AG's office. We paid Dorn, and Bohl, and Miles, et al, for creating the whole mess. We paid.

You mean you're supposed to follow those? Somebody got Myles Brand's or Walt Harrison's cell number? Mike Williams has never seen an arena proposal that he's liked. I don't blame him for his point of view. He got elected with it. However, yes, he must also make sure what he proposes is legal. Personally, Fargo needs a better place than "Gate City Bank Theatre at the Fargodome" for shows and events. The Fargo Theatre ain't it. Grand Forks is blessed with the Chester Fritz Auditorium.

At risk of repeating myself ....
