The Sicatoka

So what you're saying is those not talking about early departures should depart now.

He does have the tail-twisting down to a science.

OK, so why does that bother you so much? It's the internet. There's lots of snake oil. PS - You constantly feeling the need to refute his theories sort of makes you a hypocrite (i.e. you "acting superior" in your own way).

Why does this (the SV theories) bother you so much?

http://www.startribune.com/gophers-ad-search-narrowed-to-final-four-sources-say/378844131/ Could the "undisclosed" be ... (the recently reneged on MSU) Brennan? The STrib says it's not Gene Taylor (contrary to what The Forum thinks: http://www.inforum.com/sports/4029266-reports-gene-taylor-finalist-gophers-ad-job )

In that situation you don't need this "Marsy's Law", you need ...

Uh ... OK ... and you know this ... how?

Anything to brighten an otherwise dreary day.

If that's true, I'm with UND-1: Just say it and all will understand. Family > _____

Oh yeah, this move will haunt him to the end.

Forgive me, but tell me how SV's theories are any crazier than if someone, twenty years ago, would have said the WAC would be made up of Chicago State, Grand Canyon, and UT Rio Grand Valley today.

Makes you wonder if he was leveraging Utah (or someone else) and had to play the hand this far. I'd hate to think the man didn't do his own due diligence before accepting. That would be unprofessional.

OK, ... 46-70-116. Completed the season "grand slam": conference regular season title, conference tourney title, Hobey, NCAA title. 1987 is less than 30 years ago.

You forgot "a winning Powerball ticket" in your lists of wants. PS - Just for you ... "Lily".

If you had hockey year-round, wouldn't it always be hockey season?

I'd say send the Twins in toto to the minors, but Simmy and the FM RedHawks already have a roster.

But hey, the Wild will have an outstanding 0-n record in Game 7s.

The Stanley Cup is a nice visitor, but I'll take the permanent resident the team brought from Tampa.

... and gained some grey hair.

Yeah, but that "II" team would grind everyone down.

I think Ed is there to leave a clean, fresh slate full of opportunity for his successor.

Is that any greater of a threat than the other real and serious issues faced by Idaho and NMSU football?

OK, then I think we're mostly agreeing. The P5 will do what they do how they do it (namely, on their terms). Once that happens comes the open conversation at the schools that would consider moving.

I won't go that far. They'll talk, quietly, and then roll out what they (P5) want. Seen it before. "It's good to be the king!"
