Goon's knowledge of thermo-nuclear fission and Higgs bosons.

About SiouxVolley's theories of a rejuvenated WAC with FBS FB: I've roamed this Earth long enough to realize that "absolute words" come back to bite you; thus, with regards to what he's saying I'll say neither definitely nor never. It's plausible, possible, but has a whole lot of moving parts.

I assume you refer to NDSU's athletic budget. "What?" you ask. Why I say please refer to the Bresciani emails that Port got via FOIA. In there you'll find where Bresciani told Larson to prepare budgets with 5, 10, and 15% cuts to the athletic budget. No one seems to want to converse about that other than jdub27 mentioning it a couple times.

You get that off Mafia's iPod? Found this one on that device also.

I just listened to Faison with Heitkamp (there's 15 minutes of my life I'll never get back) and what lawkota transcribes above is the quote. And the context. There is a world of difference between "right now" and "for now". One states the current position going forward (funding football); the other is a hedge if you think a change might happen in the near future. Faison stated the position and then stated what comes with it (need for a football conference).

Best hair at the bald man convention.

I won't say "stinks" but I will agree with you that this first hawk logo is just the sacrificial anode.

Over the last week (at various forums I haunt) I've seen some interesting names pop up. Thus, I bring you ... The SWICH! -- The South West Ice Consortium for Hockey! Arizona State UCLA UNLV SDSU Utah But you need some old guard "cred" so Denver Colorado College USAFA That'll happen right after North Dakota joins the B1G as a hockey affiliate and the Alaska schools are both "option 1-ed" out of ice hockey by their legislature in Juneau. All the above will happen right after I win PowerBall and MegaMillions in the same week.

We know it wasn't the SDSU bunnies. The article said so. So who would be silly enough to transfer to USD, to see USD as an aspirational school. I'll go WIU. (Other MVFC schools have other aspirational schools.)

They're a species that may soon be extinct in Anchorage. On the east coast, they're just endangered.

A $1.4 million problem is better than what they are facing at UAA and UAF. https://mmf.smugmug.com/All-Galleries/Alaska-Nanook-Hockey/201617-Hockey-GIFS/n-wMqVcn/i-f9LMBbL/A

I'll disagree. Like I said before, after an uninspiring name my expectations for a logo could not have been lower. They beat them.

In a word: No. They didn't before; why would they now.

So you're kinda saying ...

Oh. My. http://www.news9.com/story/32784075/oklahoma-native-american-says-he-was-attacked-over-redskins-shirt

Yeah, but if the NCHC breaks ASU in (say ASU gets to competing for NCHC home ice then bolts) the B1G will be sorry if they take them because the "M" schools won't get any more conference banners.

I never said the GA did anything wrong. I agree with your assessment.

OK, ... so I'm still tinkering. I only adjusted sizes and alignments.

Was the guy at USD with the non-USD backpack and phone in a public place? Were there postings about "no cameras" or such? If the guy was in a public place doing nothing prohibited he should've told the GA to pound sand. And the guy should've never given the GA a student ID to prove anything. Go pound some more.

One other things people forget is that the world knew that the MVFC wasn't seriously looking at anything beyond 10 teams. The MVFC visit that UND cancelled was going to be nothing more than a courtesy visit. Go look at the history in various posting forums. It was well discussed then.

And you do realize to use leverage you need a fulcrum. USD's fulcrum was the league's willingness to be at 10 teams (but not 11).

Patty V of the MVFC has been very and consistently outspoken that the MVFC is not looking for teams.
