You need to ask? Just look at him.

Jon-Durno, Jon-Durno, let down your hair.

Be careful of conspiracy theories. Signed, The Vast Fighting Sioux Conspiracy If you only knew ....

You'll have to site a source. A quick search by me found nothing regarding the Big Sky and such monikers. And if it was a problem, would the BSC have sent a letter of interest?

Semantics? No, legal process in North Dakota.

And when is that time relative to when NDSU raises the $8 to 16 MM for BSA renovations (while continuing to request Cornerstone funds)?

The ND SBoHE has statutory authority, meaning their power is derived by statute from the State of ND. http://www.state.nd.us/lr/cencode/t15c10.pdf However, their policies are just that, policies, not state law. State law is only made by the Legislative process and recorded in the ND Century Code. http://www.state.nd.us/lr/information/stat.../cent-code.html

The details? Does this pro-VSU conspiracy ultimately involve getting VSU a title that they maybe should have gotten back in 2002?

I assume someone has the NDSBoHE meeting minutes approving NDSU Downtown seeing how it is a new center and "Board approval is required to create, discontinue or name a school, college, center or institute."

Apologies. I was sure I'd heard someone who should know (Alumni Association fundraiser) say those dollars being banked (not waivered as noted). star2city: Where's the money for facilities improvements?

I've always found it curious that the Bison mascot's name is ThUNDar. (I love sticking that mental seed into NDSU heads.)

First, eliminate competition. (But I thought competition is good.) Then, admit that you really wanted what they already had provided to the community (and already had the resources for). http://www.in-forum.com/articles/index.cfm...04&section=News

I'll wait for the numbers without the "~".

No Massen? No Fabian? Ouch. Welcome to a bare-bones line-up for skaters: 2 injured (out): Massen, Fabian. 12 forwards: McMahon, Canady, Fylling, Genoway, Prpich, Marvin, Stafford, Porter, Murray, Zajac, Spirko, Kaip. 8 defense: Schneider, Fuher, Jones, Greene, Smaby, Bina, Foyt, Radke. Massen's played too many games. He can't apply for a medical hardship year. However, Fabian still could (if he doesn't play any in the second 50% of the season.) Think it would help him adjust to the speed of the game if we slipped Radke into the line-up at forward one night (say in Marvin's place)? Lee Marvin's fast becoming like that NCAA commercial with the psychology major/basketball player: "Am I a defenseman who can play forward, or a forward who can play defense?"

When womens hockey was brought on-line it was planned to add 3 scholarships per year to the maximum of 18. They are on course with that plan. And I believe they are taking that course because they are endowed scholarships. If NDSU has done this so well, why hasn't the media done an open records request of their books and shown the State what a good job they are doing? It'd be a great chance to shine and prove Dr. Kupchella's fiscal concerns misplaced. The last NDSU Athletics budget report in the media was that NDSU started the year fiscal year ~$1,000,000.00 in the red. Until a new report comes out that's all we know.

What a great job Sandy has! If he wins, he's a genius. If he loses, he's a fool.

What is the Big Sky most interested in? (a) Members who were first to jump into the DI-AA pool. (b) Members who are the right type of school (academics, athletics) for the profile of the conference and where it wants to go in a decade or more timeframe. If a couple years on probation aren't a big deal to a transitional school, wouldn't a conference have to carry a similar opinion if they were getting what they wanted and going in the direction they want to?

Without a quote it can only be taken as speculation from the author. You mean football contractual obligations could come into play in all of this? You mean like this?

Huh? Weren't you one of the folks surprised that UND didn't fax a petition to transision by 12/01/04 so 2004-2005 could be the transitional year? Now it's by 12/01/05 to make 2005-2006 the transitional (and accordingly 2006-2007 the first as a DI), again assuming that's the direction UND takes.

Jack Johnson? Michigan? Anyone?

sagard and Greyeagle are closet Sioux fans.
