< Bleep > this "pick the gold" crap. That's for the front-runners. The people want to know: "Who's getting relegated?" I have the Danes (last of Group A) surviving a three-gamer and the Belarus team (last Group B) headed down to "IA".

Your avatar; that statement; oh the irony.

Well, now we have proof that when it comes to talent evaluation someone in the Thielen / Mussman equation is 'slow'.

Sorry Volley, but even me this time feels obliged to say "link please".

So the Western Illinois head football coach bails to be not a coordinator and not the QB coach but the WR coach at ASU? Better to be fourth mate at ASU than captain of that ship? Let the conspiracy theories fly.

Forgive me, but if reading here is so damaging, in a word, don't. And beyond that, if harsh critique words can do that much damage how can anyone survive the actual playing field (where folks are out to maim you).

Which one are you?

Nor do you need to; just creep it. Search "@UNDFootball" on Google.

Every season since becoming FCS eligible. (Think about it.)

Junior? Junior!?!?! Is that you?

Not UND. Not even FCS. But, welcome to "when what's supposed to be a good thing goes bad".

A 6'5" guy from Iowa at that.

When's the last year NDSU did NOT have an All-American offensive lineman?

The SiouxFootball Twitter account re-tweeted something from these folks (about no Christmas card or something). Looking at the picture, I flew on the same flight as Griffin and his dad (a PhD) on a Sunday morning in October.

I forgot that Dooley was putting a little Mustard* on the end of her career. *Playing an extra season in a different sport after playing four years of a sport.

You forgot a couple letters.

Let that soak. Then ponder that in 2016, UND threw 3 INT and lost 9 fumbles. Yes, 12 turnovers in a season.

The map ESPN uses when flying a west to east redeye: West Coast (civilization) --> Las Vegas --> Flyover --> is that Chicago down there? --> more Flyover --> the Catskills (are we there yet?) --> East Coast (civilization).

Winning the Big 4 Big Sky titles in 2016 (FB, VB, MBB, WBB) A 2016 FCS playoff appearance A Big Dance Appearance in 2016-17 The 2016 NCAA Mens Ice Hockey championship. Hosting three straight western regional mens ice hockey events (2017, 2018, 2019) Having a president on record as supporting Athletics. Having a president that took action to restore fiscal health to Athletics. Coaches think in "game stretches": these three on the road, the next two at home, these couple series before the break. Athletic Directors have to think in terms of years. They'll look at 2017 with due diligence, but good applicants will also see the foundations and the basis to build from based on the build up to 2016 also. I suspect when the list is down to an announced three or four there'll be some good candidates that are currently serving as high-level AADs at P5 schools.

I know this will be blasphemy in some quarters, but the Brien logo didn't work well in certain media due to its heavy detailing. Some of those included: small presentations (this is why they had to create the less detailed version that didn't include the feather signature, and that was still a busy version) rapid motion or flash-bys (on TV where the lead into or out of replay) the small, small logo they use on on-screen TV scoreboards Sometimes less is more, and simpler is better. You may burn me at the stake now.

On the active roster, or dressed and on the game day line up card? Either way: proof is what it takes to make this line up.

Neither McIntyre nor Ladue have appeared in an NHL game yet this season per HockeyDB.com. Until they appear in an NHL game this season they are ineligible to be placed on this roster.

Purpur is a pipedream. He applied for the presidency at UND. He's not coming to be AD after that unless he's guaranteed more (post Kennedy), and that's not possible.
