The Sicatoka

When you were 0-2 in Buffalo, 3-3 is on the rise.

Ah yes, ... the short stagger from the Antique to the Bridge.

Because he's a taxpayer and the State of ND could end up on the hook for liabilities (costs) incurred by NDSU if say Mr. Robbins (et al) were to retain council and claim damages ... Mentioning the State, there's an open records law in this State. Now I'm pretty sure names would have to be blotted out (think: HIPAA), but wouldn't any testing of players contracted out by NDSU to a third-party be fair game for an open records request? It would be intriguing to see what NDSU's testing contractor finds during their evaluations. And this could provide some insight to Barn's question about NDSU having suspended their own for self-test results. We couldn't be sure (no names per HIPAA) but if there were X failed tests one would expect commensurate press reports about "violation of team rules" suspensions and such.

East coast bias.

The one that bothered me the most: Rudolph would run RB wheel routes with Olivera and not Santiago. Yes, Brady can catch, but, in that scenario you normally get LB coverage and LB v Olivera is more even than LB v Santiago. LB v Santiago is 99.5% of the time in John's favor.

Someone lost the improperly filed paperwork I guess.

Post-game Saturday, Hennessy "downstairs" made a comment that JJ looked "much thinner" than earlier in the season as JJ walked by him.

FlightAware.

I really miss Shangri-La before a hockey game.

The Antique is where I vaguely recall ...

May I choose to agree after I see Mr. Freund's offense in action?

Bring the winning formula ...

Do I? No. But has it become a legitimate question based on actual test results. Yes. Smoke. Fire?

No charge. It keeps Mafia off your back.

Who hired him?

I would think your question should end with the word "today". Then I'd think "tick tock" ... and they've put themselves in jeopardy for NCAA sanction and should step back from it.

I'd think they've put themselves in jeopardy for NCAA sanction and should step back from it. You missed my question: What do you make of Newman easily being associated with NDSU, Alabama, and Clemson, all teams that have become curiously much greater than their competition. Pure coincidence? Greatest motivational speaker since Christ on the Mount? Maybe some other factor his presence provides?

Bison06: You must admit the Ben Newman link is very curious.

Did someone just say "Clemson"? On a whim ... Suspensions of three Clemson players upheld after B samples test positive And then I find this ...

Hate to quote myself, but from that page ... Pouring ... what.

Isn't that another Ben Newman client? (Hint here.)

NDSU says they test their own on their own. Could they be "tuning", making sure they stay under detectable levels during specific periods of time?

I give you that. The NCAA is just looking at outcome. They don't care how it got there, just that it was.

Can we agree that the NCAA's line is doing something intentionally that gives an unfair advantage, be it stimulant or steroid?

Here we agree. I suspect intentional weasel-wordage as well.
