Powell's in charge of MBB. Here is who's who in terms of people and responsibilities. http://www.undsports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=13500&ATCLID=3683583&DB_OEM_ID=13500 If you have a question about what's going on in your kid's classroom at school, do you ask the teacher, or go directly to the principal? Hint: Ask the teacher. If you don't get a satisfactory answer, then you go to the principal. Closing thought: Powell's responsibilities include MBB ... and FB. I'm sure getting the MBB page updated is priority in mid-August with the start of FB just around the corner. Ask geaux_sioux about that, I'm sure he'll have an opinion.

BYU also does not want its teams playing on Sundays (think basketball).

OK, so let me get this straight: Years ago John Buccigross puts out hats that say "Cawlidge Hawkey" and they are like way so cooooool. So, seeing that, and the number of college hockey fans that scooped them up, Adidas plays off that with the new nickname and they are like way so baaaaaad?

That's about what I estimate as well -- hire a scapegoat either way. Such typical "management": Need to make a decision? Hire a "consultant" so you don't have to and can shift the blame.

There's only one way to get game experience.

So what does this mean (other than a bill for the ND SBoHE)? I have my suspicions and beliefs but I'd like to poll the audience first.

The only poll that matters is the pole you raise a banner on.

Speed is an issue. Gateway in GF is one that gets me as posted too slow. When Veterans in WF was new it was posted at 35 mph. That was too slow. Even now with new business around it it could still be 40 mph. Then 19th Ave N in Fargo, that's 50 from the interstate to the airport turn, but then down to 40 to the NDSU. Why? There's no cross traffic because there are no side streets for that mile. Or east Century in Bismarck, and on and on ... To me there is a worse issue out there than speed or uncontrolled intersections: People have started interpreting a yellow light as "gun it" and are running red lights. I've seen it in Bismarck and it's really bad in Fargo. It's not great but not as bad in GF. My advice in any of those place is when the light goes green for you, then look and go.

Don't worry. You were before.

Q: How do you deal with a guy who likes tossing lit matches? A: Don't be pouring gasoline around. Bresciani tipped his own gas can.

The messenger, hatchet man, whatever, on "shooting the messenger". https://www.sayanythingblog.com/entry/on-shooting-the-messenger/

No.

The only funny thing here is the crowd with pitchforks and torches outside Rob Port's door for merely being the messenger.

Don't buy the distraction folks. And Delaware is just that, a useful distraction by the NDSU AD to give cover to Bresciani's issue with the ND SBoHE.

Easy. The outcome of this will also impact UND. Like the man said ...

Bresciani (in his email related to the situation) regarding an email from an alumnus said, "For even me to dip down to this level of discourse would in my experience be ill-advised." * So addressing the concerns of alumni of his university is a "dip down" for him? C'mon bison73, know your place before Bresciani. *See here, July 31, 5:24 pm

And what bar they set will surely be noticed by the Carlson Cabal in the Legislature.

You killed Kenny! (Mine weren't in my mailbox just now so that's why you got that.)

Bresciani says his texts were "not apprpriate". You know what I don't see in Bresciani's words? An apology. Not to his AD that he threw under the bus, nor to the alumni he had no time for, nor to his university for creating this giant distraction.

I'm holding out until the official rollout on August 13.

You're misinterpreting priority points. I don't get a break on season ticket prices based on my Priority Points rank. The ticket price is the ticket price and it's the same for everyone. (Champions Club levels pay different amounts.) However, based on priority points I do get further up in line if I want to move my season ticket seats or if there are limited seats to an away game. For example, if you want to fly the UND charter to a Frozen Four, you say you'd like to get on their plane and then they fill it based on priority points rank.

... the best method there is to keep stewards of the public funds and trust accountable.

Hey ... Mollberg as the holder for the PK ... that's not a bad idea at all ... I think we're well on the way to giving opposing special teams coordinators nightmares.
