You copied my meme to reply to me. I win the thread!

Looking at clock, doing the math (driving time/distance), I'm wondering if I can get to the fan luncheon in Fargo at noon. Then again, they can't/won't say anything beyond "process ... interviews continuing ... Kennedy ... great pool ... yadda-yadda-wonk-wonk."

No. D2 fans are the odd ones.

Offensive line. Offensive. Line. The. Offensive. Line. Nothing more need be talked about until that is feared, yes, feared, by opponents.

May the Gods of Hockey have mercy on your immortal souls.

Quite sincerely, with RT we'd still be DII with hockey in the WCHA.

Again, what is President Kennedy looking for? I'm assuming he's attending these forums to see how the candidate "handles a room". I assume he's also interviewing each privately (as the AD is a direct member of his staff). And I assume he's not doing the private AD interviews 1-on-1 but with one or two others of his staff. Or, at least that's how I'll do it when all y'all make me Kennedy's successor one day. But ultimately, it's not what you or I think best, it's what President Kennedy is looking for. And I trust Kennedy because he's shown he's willing to be bold and make tough calls to fit to his larger vision.

Maybe a naive question, but is there some "certificate" or "license" or "official training" that someone needs to have completed to be recognized as an athletics director by the NCAA. Or is the position just a title and a school can name anyone to fill it. I found the posting, but here's all it lists for Qualifications and a lot of that is boilerplate:

Yup. And Phil got the "bucket and mop" after Buning was let go. But, Phil was not permitted (as an acting) to do what needed to be done.

Faison was under the fiscal "too many sports for the dollars" bus before he ever got here. Lest we forget, Acting AD Phil Harmeson (post Buning fiasco) saw reality long before others dare face it.

North Dakota. Hey, a guy can dream.

No. Seriously. Anyone who'll publicly admit to having watched D2, seek help.

I would follow up on that claim before buying in.

Seek help.

Birds fly. Fish swim. Sun rises in the east. And ... Yup.

We've covered this already. As a matter of fact, twice.

Sanderson? The name "Coltyn" jumps to mind and I begin to ask and wonder ...

Nope. I want to build bigger and better and beat them time and again.

I just found a bunch of cello music on the Mafia's iPod. Cello music. This. And this. What next ...

For those of you unsure of the hierarchy of the NCAA, please note that "G5" senior associates or deputy administrators (#2s and #3s in their departments) are applying for an FCS AD job. I could be completely wrong, but I don't see any deputies or associates from "P5" schools having made our finalists list. As someone noted, we have a couple associate/deputy types from "G5" schools, but none from P5 schools. (Where's Morton from MSU? Purpur from Stanford?) That tells me there is a pecking order; or, put another way: - 'tis better to be #2 or #3 (or worse?) at a P5 than to be the AD at an FCS, or, - being AD at FCS is better than being #2 or #3 at a G5. "P5" -- ACC, Big Ten, SEC, Big XII, PAC 12 "G5" -- MAC, C-USA, Mountain West, SBC, WAC

I have a dime for them. Can someone float them the other fifteen cents?

So you're some-rich-somebody's accountant. < shrug >

To which "SMH" do you refer?
