Surely McFeely is always interested in UND's best interests.

And every day this goes on the more I wonder ... dark horse? Mack Brown! <clap-clap> Mack Brown! <clap-clap> Merry Christmas everyone!

What? The wise sages here not knowing every last inner working detail? Say it ain't so.

If you saw anything other than football players leave, you have a problem.

I've long wondered why MFF just didn't buy out HOE, re-dress the facilities, and go with it.

Hey Mister next coach of UND Football: Set aside all your Christmas plans, family, friends, gifts, travel, ... everything! Why? So you can stand in front of a quarter of the media you should (because they're all home celebrating Christmas) and answer the same mindless, pap questions every new coach gets! Don't wait until after you've celebrated with your wife and offspring! Blow them off for some impatient fans! Sounds great, doesn't it! Signed, Brian Faison

Translated: Deep hole to dig back out of.

The only folks that can definitely say how an interview went are on the interview committee. Now if your "deeply involved with the football team" sources are on the committee they are believable; otherwise, ...

I'm surprised at the development of the US 2 corridor between I-29 and GFK. That must be a by-product of the Bakken (folks that used to go to Minot and are tired of that mess may be coming east now to shop). The fact that that area is now flood protected also can't hurt.

Remember: applications are taken until the position is filled. Any application that would come now would have to go through the same process: It would get evaluated and scored and if it comes in as high or higher than the nine that were forwarded on it would be forwarded on for a phone interview.

No. Don't be silly. They led with pics from LeBron's twitter feed of his swollen ankle. Now, ask yourself: kidding or telling the truth?

1. Offensive line -- it sets the tempo for the whole team, offense and defense (keeps them off field) 2. Defensive line -- you win an lose up front 3. Get the fans back. 4. Secondary -- you have to cover 5. A real DI running back I believe that UND has LB and QB talent available. I'm not sure about WR anymore, but, that would come in outside the top five.

Didn't a poster here predict a Dec 20 or 21 announcement and we all assumed that it was related to an FBS level bowl game? Just surfing through the channels tonight and seeing UWW it made me wonder. Yeah, I'm dreaming, but ... - Faison saw the Fargo Freak-out when "Bohl to UWyo" was announced and wouldn't want to do that to UWW. - Two, TWO, finalists? I don't recall any other place coming down to two finalists for a position. - Leipold has the credentials and last I can find he was making $100k base at UWW. Full Disclaimer: I'm dreaming out loud here. It's not going to happen.

I see a "pink turf" rematch looming ... but in Texas.

Cavalry would have to be kept "generic" enough that any warrior on horseback (see: statue in front of REA) fits.

And like I said before, I had a case of "screamin' weasel" once and don't recommend it.

Applications are accepted until the position is filled.

Girl fight!!!

A game on ESPNU just ended ... we can dream of a surprise late entrant, ... can't we?

Game just ended: UWW 52, Mount Union 14 UWW just won their fourth DIII title in five seasons with four new assistants and 49 freshman. Is it wrong to hope that Lance Leipold applies yet tonight?

OK gfhockey, if the old boy network approach is best you must support Hak because the old boy network put him in place. It works, or it doesn't.

Actually, the First Amendment does not apply to this private posting forum. The First Amendment applies to publicly owned and operated facilities, the "town square". This is a private forum; it's Jim's house so it's Jim's rules.

Bubba left UMD as a 0.500 coach and new guy (Nielson) come in and takes Bubba's players to the promised land. Wouldn't that point to Bubba being a great recruiter but leave his coaching skills in question?

Talking football, I can't disagree.

You keep posting like that and you'd better IM me a list of places with $1 drinks.
