Missing a starting FB in a power run offense is a big deal; yet, he didn't travel with the teams and it wasn't reported until game time?

It's mind boggling to me how NDSU can really not do anything special on offense but be so dominant. As I've said, they don't do anything exceptional, but what they do they do exceptionally well.

I think I'm pulling for the Swiss. Not sure exactly why, but their flag is a big plus.

Lingonberries v Chocolateers. Nice.

Do they reseed for the semis or will one semi be FIN v SUI?

Thank goodness the Red flows north or we'd be flooded with tears.

If I type this and hit 'return' it goes here. If I type this but hit 'shift' and 'return' at the same time it goes here. Is that what you mean?

So ... nobody's linked to the MJHL website to learn more? https://www.mjhlhockey.ca/

Yes.

Felt sorry for the U18 lads as they were stuck in MSP Sunday night.

So how would private equity investments work in light of the DI principal of institutional control? Wouldn’t the investors not the university run things? And how is that not professionalism? The NCAA best tread lightly. Lose that amateur tag and Congress could get interested and that’s always fun. https://www.oregonlive.com/sports/oregonian/john_canzano/2018/12/want-to-buy-a-stake-in-the-pac-12-conference-its-exploring-taking-on-private-equity-partners.html

Santa doesn’t punt. And he sure doesn’t run double reverses.

Agree, disagree, no matter, the data point remains: UND just lost a verbal commit QB to a G5 FBS. That would lead me to believe that even shoe-string budget G5 FBS has a stronger pull than FCS.

There's nothing wrong with Wentz as a player. Now his offensive line in Philly ...

Here's a better school for that ... and maybe in general.

You're about a month late to the mountain there broke-beak. Brien's put his own (c) on the item. He owns all the rights. Just send him cash instead.

And here I thought Grand Forks had the better sandbagging crews ...

As a wise mentor counselled me long ago: "Stuff takes time."

Funny how those things work ... Normally it's "We're most affected! We decide!" ... until the ward wants something that is a bit pricier than the ward alone can afford and then it's "The city needs this so send money please".

Through the first 8 games I'd have agreed. I think he started to figure it out at the end. There are other positions I'm more concerned with.

Does Braden Hanson count?

The more I ponder these 23 the more I think I'm in agreement with those saying between now and February the focus should be: - a QB straight from HS - a true NG, preferably someone who could be in the rotation sooner than later - another safety (a JC transfer would work here) Frankly, that's it. Focus on those needs. Disclaimer: I'm assuming there are no departures that create a need.

Decommits from USAFA, visits Michigan State, and then visits DII Saginaw Valley? https://football.thedzone.com/players/emanuel-ferguson

Don't most guys decommit when they think they've got a shot at going up a tier? (See: Case from FCS --> G5 FBS)
