Back to the true purpose of this thread: Miami's Riley Barber --- GONE! Signs with WAS, gives up senior season. I feel so terrible for Ricci Blasée and his bros. Not.

Good grief. Did no one tell them they can order online and get overnight delivery? http://shop.redpepper.com/ Think how many extra grinders you can get for the cost of four hours of flight time!

Uh, the "Blake" the LA Kings sent out was Assistant GM (and former Kings defenseman) Rob Blake. (Pretty sure Jason doesn't work for the LAK.) http://mayorsmanor.com/2015/04/blake-on-trip-to-north-dakota-waiting-on-ladues-decision/

Seems you missed this: http://forum.siouxsports.com/topic/20545-whoa/

Heck, there's even more cowbell in there too!

The branding guy's name may be "Kelly O'Keefe" but I don't believe he's related to Tim O'Keefe et al. He seems to be an east coast guy when you look at his VCU Brandcenter bio and LinkedIn account.

When your compliance types get canned for doing their jobs, they tend to files lawsuits and not have to work much after.

The Turkey and Taco Meat Grinders!

"The Mayor" (John Hoven, an epic LAK bobo and rube) says that Forbort is the heir apparent for Regehr's slot. The questions surrounding the LAK defense are: - do they resign Andrej Sekera - will Slava Voynoy ever be reinstated by the NHL (his trial got moved from next week to July) The bad news is LAK is looking for their future right-handed defenseman.

Not. Surprised.

Hey, if Schlossman knows that LaDue can stay through a senior year and avoid signing a two-way deal (only get NHL money), so do Rob Blake and the Kings. They would much rather sign him now to a two-way deal than have him play out his college eligibility and force anyone looking to sign him into a one-way (NHL money only) deal.

Bring back the Trunk Monkey!

Told you so, Mafia. Now pay up.

The latest: http://www.grandforksherald.com/news/education/3724115-updated-und-student-senate-votes-table-resolution-no-confidence-until-sunday Kind of damning on the resolution's author/student senate president:

One, is worried about tuition and the operations of their alma mater, so much so that they take action and bring the issues glaringly into the light. (See: "Whoa" thread in this forum.) The other? Cat picks up 50 votes in NDSU student senate election http://www.inforum.com/news/3724678-cat-picks-50-votes-ndsu-student-senate-election

Like it or not, the Franzen story is out there now. The anti-NDUS folks will use this as an excuse to keep digging, and they'll find something, real or not. Former NDUS official claims she was fired for saying Bresciani deleted emails on purpose http://www.grandforksherald.com/news/region/3724169-former-ndus-official-claims-she-was-fired-saying-bresciani-deleted-emails

Then put your guess down on paper, ... uh, ... electrons? http://forum.siouxsports.com/topic/20542-the-name-em-game-2015-16-edition/

I don't believe I did that. I just noted that LaDue could be gone already.

Try this concept: Did Blake fly out with LaDue on the plane?

And the hits keep on coming for the NDUS today. Now playing at NDSU "The Deleted Emails Redux": http://www.inforum.com/news/3724133-former-university-system-official-claims-she-was-fired-saying-bresciani-intentionally

Uh, shouldn't they be thinking about graduating and saving money?

Here's more information on the various plans/tuition models. http://www.grandforksherald.com/news/education/3711205-und-mulls-changing-tuition-model That third option sounds like a pretty good incentive to go on the four-year plan. Oh, and also: That's a really good deal. A 15-credit on-campus (full time) student taking one online course would pay for that online course separately today. Under the proposed plan the online course would be counted as part of the full time base rate.
