Think of what you're saying man! You are letting Marshall off the hook the same weekend the Vikings performed a miraculous 33 point comeback win.

Random Factoid of the Day: Frisco Texas Bowl (Boise State v North Texas): 12211 <-- 20 miles from UNT FCS Quarter (UIW v NDSU): 12569 <-- in a blizzard with closed interstate highways

Poll question - Biggest fail on the weekend: - Blowing a 33 point lead to Minnesota - Going lateral play in a tie game and end up throwing a 20 yard backwards pass to lose

Are you saying ...

He left Northeastern. To transfer it has to be via the portal.

I still say UIW should have tied the game at 35. And the Colts should have gone up eleven late against Minnesota. i love going for it on fourth but a tie game is a tie game and up eleven, two scores, is better than up eight, one score.

Can anyone refute or explain those pics?

And Word looks quicker.

That second drive looked … easy. 14-0 Word

Looks like Blake made the 25 credentialed. (See Twitter thread for what that means.)

No. That was speculation. As you say, one of the Berrys could make it explanation. My assumption is the truth is somewhere between the ends of wild speculation.

Allow me another bout of wild speculation to follow: Brad Berry was blind-sided by this. His daughter got wind of NODAK (singular) jerseys somehow, and got a half-baked idea. She got a friend who's an attorney (not Tarek Howard*) to create a MN LLC and do the TM paperwork. (For what ends? I'll leave that to the reader.) But when confronted with the appearance of conflict of interest Coach Berry had a succinct and direct call to a daughter explaining what the word "relinquish" means and why she'd be doing it immediately and without compensation. *Howie would see a conflict and warn off his client, I hope.

In fairness, Port's first story mentioned Tarek Howard as setting up a ND LLC that timed out in 2020; however, it is not clear Howard did the 2022 work for the MN LLC and for acquiring the TM.

I believe UND could do a turn-around this fast with an internal hire. Looks like that's what MoiSt did (Beard was the DC).

Dare I say that's a drop in a $10.5 million bucket.

Referring back to this posting, c'mon @southpawquote the FULL first quote you cited: "Well if wild speculation is the game ... and following Frozen's trail ... " I specifically said I was in the realm of "wild speculation". And that December 1 post is unedited.

Tomorrow in Brookings seems like "Fan Weather" ... or not. https://forecast.weather.gov/MapClick.php?lon=-96.75865173339845&lat=44.32731726449816#.Y5y6A3bMKUk

MoiSt just hired Ryan Beard ... Petrino's son-in-law.

From HockeyCanada:

Aren't a lot of UND recruits from Canada (e.g. McInnis, Boisvert) playing in the USHL right now?

Can't he be both?

One Fargo radio station this morning was saying NDSU should be doing the $5 ticket thing based on what they'd heard about presales and I94 and I29 being closed.

Looking at Massey, UIW has the ... 64th, yes 64th, defense in FCS. (Montana had the 6th.) That's a problem for UIW.

I do not believe I was "officially" in the then SEM, now CEM, until I was accepted into the degree program when I was a junior. If that's still in place you may have some "freshmen" claiming it, but juniors and seniors (prereq's done, accepted to specific major programs) are the numbers to track.
