Earl would need verbal permission from Jack Abramoff first, as would Kent. And Byron, he'd need written.

Birds of a feather....

I'll give ya a definite possibility of a for-sure maybe, or not.

For one side of the issue AISS can do "one-stop shopping" for you by pointing you to their favorite website. Where you'll struggle is finding out about things like Mr. Lapointe's behavior here. That's not as interesting to the media (for whatever reason). My point of view on digging for truth comes from a quote by Dr. Kupchella to US College Hockey Online:

... we live in interesting times.

What are you talking about? She's offering to send unsolicited, informational mail to someone's house. "Capitol One" does it to me four days a week. Is that harassment?

I have to say "hold that thought just for a minute". What are the long-term goals and strategies of the various conferences and how do they align with the long-term goals of the schools?

We can't look at that. It would prove that an American Indian can do wrong and that breaks the DS's template. And it would prove what someone said to me long ago: Some of the biggest bigots I've met are the anti-bigot bigots. You see, the Dakota Student digging into the story at all would be having to admit to DS readers that the DS story about a Native American grad student leaving UND because of his "high-minded principles" proves that the Dakota Student is a shill for the name-change advocates and allows itself to be shamelessly used by them. PS - How does the "Dakota Student" keep that name. The staff isn't all "Dakota", but mainly caucasian. Heal thy self. PPS - " ... caught red-handed fabricating ... racist material ... " Why hasn't he been charged with a hate crime?

McFeely continues to rip away. The judge's comments on the statements by some of the NDSU coaches are priceless.

That would require a journalist, even a student one, to do real work covering a story. (Only "sudo"-reporters work. )

The Big Sky folks could be facing a geographic dilemma soon: - the western wing of the BSC is making "departure" noises for west coast based conferences - the Mid-Con and Gateway are creeping west - they could soon be marginalized into a mountainous wedge of the country for a footprint Where will the BSC find schools even further in the future if they don't do something with the footprint now? I don't claim to know how this will all turn out. But I do know we live in interesting times.

Miller winning it this week, eh, nothing special. I'm sure lots of guys from Georgia have won it. Hey, Kozek, Watkins, take note from Brad. Your turns are next. Get on it.

This just in: George Ellis 1 NDSU 0 The story. McFeely chimes in also. PS - I'm sure NDSU lost only because Judge Marquart attends Sioux Boosters luncheons. It has to be more of "The Vast Fighting Sioux Conspiracy."

Think you missed part the first time.

Mentioning "on retainer", .... Only 8 days until the North Dakota Attorney General and the NCAA's attorneys meet in Northeast Central District Court.

I said I could see it; I didn't say I liked the approach.

To me the site-in-question is defined on four sides: - Columbia Road to the west - the tracks to the south - University Ave (not 2nd Ave N) on the north - 25th Street (extended through old REA to the tracks) on the east What's in there now? Old REA, Memorial, a grass FB practice field, (soon to be) a tower to a parking lot(?) from the ramp west of Columbia, and parking. I can only guess what'll be in there in 10-15 years, but I'm almost positive "Step 1" in any project will be making everything there today (save the new ramp tower ) "flat".

As a public service to all UND students, here are two key dates this semester:

The only seen eagle feathers on campus were worn by a real, enrolled tribal member. I've seen granite in the floor in the shape of an eagle feather walked on, but that's not an eagle feather.

Are ya kiddin' me?

One more notion here: UND President Charles Kupchella (August 2006): "We are doing what we set out as our goal: to make this one of the top 100 public institutions, which it already is by many measures, and to position the University so that our successors can make it one of the top 50 universities in the nation."

Given that, I'm surprised no one linked back to .... Phil Harmeson Curt Kreun Randy Newman now Rick Tonder and Tom Buning Sure are a lot of key people involved in GF government or UND Athletics or UND Facilities floating that trial balloon.

I could see Augie doing DI-AA FB like Drake and Alp..., er, I mean Valpo (meaning 0 scholarships).

PS - Shame, shame on us, .... not.

Gary, dude, you did educate many on this issue. You got many to think about it, and the arguments pro and con, and to decide for themselves. <-- True education. What you didn't accomplish was cajoling the majority to your point of view. <-- Indoctrination. Was your goal education, or indoctrination?
