Only if you have access to local hands and eyes (boots on the ground) to make physical changes or look at things in person as needed.

This seems to show why I think this team looks slower to me. This sure isn't a Dean Blais "smurfs" squad.

Can't tell if you're serious or not. I'll just say I'm not surprised based on the company he kept.

Too many of today's principals are 'educated' (have that advanced degree), but never came through the teaching ranks. Too much soft and cuddle love them mindset, and not enough expectations based outcomes. If I sat on a school board I'd require 10 years in the classroom to be even considered for a principal position.

Really? How come I can't hear UND Hockey on there when I'm supposed to be able to? https://fightinghawks.com/sports/2018/6/7/2048128861.aspx

Whale poop is a step above the %gobc.

This guy quit wearing orange arm bands. Not worth the abuse.

That's what gets me. You'd think someone in that role, if not a lawyer, would at least have some graduate level degree in Educational Administration. I know of an MS Ed Admin that'd take $119k to move to UND and do that job. Frankly, you'd probably get the person I'm thinking of for $80k and knowing the person they'd succeed no matter how "challenging" some are claiming the job to be. (This person has run statewide programs and had to deal with ND DPI and dozens of local school districts all at once.)

Speaking as a guy who works from home most of the time, when you work from home you're always at work. It's not a much fun as one would think.

Matters not. From behind; into the side board; major; rule book.

You'll have to read it. https://undfootball360.com/news/post-signing-day-live-chat Right under where it says "Vote Vote" in blue you'll have to click on "Chat" of "Live Info Chat" buttons.

What's the NCAA rule book say? To my eyes that was right between the numbers in the back: hitting from behind, and into the side board. See above (major) penalty, by rule.

Here' are three Tweets Chaves put out over the weekend. Any idea what he's setting up to lobby for?

Now that's some epic trolling. I bet that got "Five Bridges" on JohnBoy's troll-o-meter.

I assure you there's no way to insure against improper use of the term ensure. It's impossible to prevent its misuse.

What's an FBS with DI hockey budget look like? Well, simple reality says throw out the schools from the P5 conferences for comparisons; it's not even the same realm. So, good bye Arizona State, BC, the B1Gs. And for that matter, throw out the service academies (Army, Air Force). So what's left? UConn, UMass, and three MACs (Miami, WMU, Bowling Green). Given the stature of the UConn and UMass BB programs and how they spend on those ... The best comparisons are the three MACs. Today UND trails WMU and Miami but leads Bowling Green as far as expenditures. (I'm not drawing conclusions, just pointing out the data.) The south has its G5 FBS in the Sun Belt. The midwest has its in the MAC.

You can't fall off the floor.

Somehow some "contaminant" ... that's not approved for human use or consumption ... somehow got into Clemson players? So who brought the "contaminant" around in the first place.

Because of the elimination of flatulent bovines there'll be less need for feed grains. And less need for grasslands for grazing. That's good because elimination of fossil fuels means we'll need the space for solar panels. My rough calcs say we'll need 18 sq miles of panels just to replace Coal Creek Station at Underwood (assumes 200W per meter panels, 50% density to allow for infrastructure, and 4x the number of panels due to just 6 productive hours per day, and on site storage capacity for 18 hours of electricity*). But remember, all the cars and transportation will now be non-fossil fuel. That too will have to be electric. So you're going to need another "Coal Creek" just for transportation conversion to electric. At least. *Such storage tech doesn't exist today at this 1.2 gigawatt scale.
