Link or it never happened.

Oh no, .... it's a motivator.

If a student-athlete got hurt in a lightning storm in a locker-tent, ain't nobody gots enough coverage for the suing that would follow. Nicholls State and the NCAA would be under new ownership.

Beating Nicholls, a first FCS post-season win, would be the program's signature win. And that's the only option available at this time. Focus on that.

Elbonian League.

There's only one game. Pitch a tent and get with the program.

You're saying for that 2017 year, yes? https://fightinghawks.com/sports/football/roster/donnell-rodgers/8608

(1) Alerus Center v. tents (2) and (3) Revenue? Attendance history and potential? 9837 (4) So UND doesn't have a conference ... (5) Sure hope there aren't thunderstorms with lightning when the student-athletes are in the tents with turlets.

The NCAA: We're all about the student-athlete (changing and showering in a tent in the parking lot) experience. What do you bet female athletes would never be expected to change or shower in a tent in a parking lot. <-- mic drop

Honestly, file the protest now. Those facilities do not allow privacy for in-game adjustments and game planning ... unless they make sound-proof tent walls down south.

Private outhouses with the new Montgomery Wards catalog are included, that's how! The fans in the stands just get a tree out back, and a handful of grass.

I agree; but, do you file the NCAA paperwork just in case?

It was 15 but who's counting ...

There's a joke in there somewhere ... Nicholls: That's all we have to spend on facilities. Nicholls: We spent them all on the bid to a field with no locker rooms.

Here's a question that I know the answer to, but I'll ask anyway: Zimmerman redshirted at EWU in 2015. He went to a JC in 2016. He appeared in four games for UND in 2017. He appeared in six games for UND in 2018. He's only appeared in three games in 2019 before he went down with an injury. Any chance he could get a sixth year of eligibility? (I know, I know, slim and none and slim left town. Sixth years are like double-eagles in golf.) That said, it would be nice to have another QB that knows the system next year. Otherwise it's Schuster, Grover, and gut ache.

Or if Poolman is dinged, we need Bast and Tychonick to reappear.

You keep dressing up the humor in so many ways.

What I've seen on television from Mariucci so far this year most nights is a lot of maroon and gold* ... seats. That's not good for college hockey. *Seeing those prime, yellow seats sit open has to make the UMn Athletics admins cringe.

Game 5, cinq, funf, cinco!, with a new head coach, new staff, players that were not recruited by him, implementing new systems. I'll give some margin, significant margin.

Agree.

I'm sure you relish that comeback.

Mandatory minimum at Mariucci is split (for PWR implications against the B1G), so win Thursday. There are no other games in the view-finder. That is all.

You're such a turkey.

The freshman got away with one. (Hope he thanked Scheel.) If he's what I think he is that'll not happen in the future. To my eye, it wasn't a great weekend for 3, 6, and 24. Each of them made more than one tape-to-wrong-tape pass in our own zone, or some bad puck movement decisions, on the weekend. If I was giving out grades for the weekend based on level of expectation (meaning we expect more from seniors than freshmen, more from top pair than third pair): 4 - exceeded 15, 20 - met 3, 6, 24 - did not fully meet
