Four road teams win the wildcard round. Four home teams win the divisional round. <-- That's a call.

Agree, and trim down that lowest section behind the "no lower beak" also.

I've long said I wish Ed Schafer had gotten the UND president job when Kelley got it. Now I get my wish, but on an interim basis. But when I see this list, I don't see Purpur coming out on top. Sorry.

I see two that interest me: Dr. Jay Noren: Associate Dean, College of Medicine University of Illinois at Chicago; Former President (2008-2010) Wayne State University Dr. Ronald T. Brown: Associate Vice Chancellor for Academic Affairs, University of North Texas System; Former President (2013-2015) Univ of North Texas at Dallas

Part of NDSU's success is during their playoff runs they've only faced one or two teams built to beat them. Let's face it, beyond ISU (Red), UNI, SDSU, (a shocking) USD, Montana, and a retooling UND, the rest of FCS is not built to play power, in-the-trenches, mistake-free football that it takes when you play NDSU right now.

I'm going to say it again: NDSU doesn't do anything exceptional; however, they do what they do exceptionally well. The culture in their FB program right now is 'do it right or sit' because the guy behind you will do it right if you don't. Mistakes on the field are not acceptable. This mindset is one that needs to be instilled in any program looking to compete against them.

With no true academic chops, and no PhD, Fetch has as strong of a chance as Ray Purpur.

Mentioning goaltenders ... What's up with ANA acquiring another goalie yesterday?

Rumor has it that you're just peddling rumors.

Ryan Johansen for Seth Jones? Seth Jones for Ryan Johansen? Discuss.

Are you starting a rumor that there'll be another rumor?

Ray's problem? All athletics; no academics.

If nominated I will not run; if elected I will not serve ... oh, wait, you were talking about Bill, not me.

You'll be getting an email explaining the process shortly.

The "#10" withdrawal's title is President. I hope that wasn't this fellow.

Where the < bleep > were you six months ago !!!!

That's academics; I'd like to see one for athletics. Better, I'd like a new one that would work for both.

An "ND" logo that is ours and ours alone is a needed addition.

You forgot "with a French name" and "that claims to be Catholic while behaving otherwise".

Seems that way to me also. I suspect that it's hard to be "offensive" (or "hostile and abusive") when you're primary marketing icon is a letter of the alphabet in a color or two so that approach would make academic-types happy. When the new athletics logo comes out I hope it includes a new "ND" icon that isn't the interlocked. We need to step away from "Our Lady of South Bend" and their usage of it (even though we used it first).
