  1. Are you Rob Port?

    He is a college student that made a mistake while drunk. it has happened before and it will happen again and again and again and again. Not sure why people continue to want to make this into some huge ordeal.

    Why?

    The problem concerns me; what comes after is what I'm interested in.

    This is not Mister Beck's first problem involving alcohol and fleeing from law enforcement. That's my interest.

    UND has four hockey guys short scholarship dollars for a second alcohol incident that didn't involve fleeing.

    I'm interested to see how NDSU handles this problem (which also has the overhanging issue of violence/agreeing to a fight).

  2. This series certainly has the possibility of going 7, doesn't it? Why, oh why does the NBA generate so much hype when the NHL playoffs are infinitely superior?

    Because ABC/ESPN owns the broadcast rights and they marketing (ESPN) what they are producing (on ABC).

  3. Blackhawks get called for two too-many-men calls in the OTs; I saw the Bruins get a stick up in the face of a defenseman and at least one hold (on Toews) and a trip uncalled.

    I shake my head at how the NHL game changes (is called differently) in the post-season.

  4. Cops can only deal with what they see in front of them, in the middle situations that most of us would want no part of, and try to enforce law.

    The sort-it-all-out-later belongs to the court system where they sort out and restore order.

    That's why the TV show is called "Law & Order".

    I'll say it again: Mr. Beck would be much better off right now if he'd have no history with the court system. Even if he was the victim of an attack a second fleeing charge will probably not be viewed lightly.

  5. As in most situations, the truth in all of this will be somewhere in the middle.

    I suspect we'll find neither was a passive victim nor a willful aggressor; however, the consequences to each will based on their histories. The judicial system tends to look for patterns of behaviors and escalates its response when dealing with recurrences and escalations.

  6. Count me as one who thinks UND should seriously consider Gwoz should a replacement for Hakstol ever need replacing.

    Would we have to start picking up players with unpronounceable, over-consonated last names?

    Gwoz is too high-maintenance for me. I've named my front-runners if the need came about.

  7. So, under the scenario of Hakstol leaving, who'd replace him?

    At this point in time, I'd have to think the front-runners would be Berry, Eades, and ... recently resigned at UNO Steve Johnson. Maybe Bubs (Berry) moves up and Johnson come in as an assistant.

    Hearing of Tim O'Keefe's impending retirement I guess I'm not surprised to hear even remote possibilities of Hakstol moving on. And the recent media articles about Hakstol's NHL potential to me are not coincidence. (Toss in Johnson's sudden resignation and my antennae are up.)

  8. I'd love to see the Big Sky work out a "scheduling alliance" with the Pac-12 similar to that between the Big 10 and the MAC.

    Let's see, ... LA, Palo Alto, Seattle, Boulder, and Tempe ... or State College, Newark, Bloomington, East Lansing, and West Lafayette.

  9. I'm sure that the Big 12 would also like a massive pot of gold, greater respect from the SEC, and casual Fridays. Wanting something, and actually getting it are two different things. You suggesting that the top 5 conferences would like to split isn't worth patting yourself on the back about, it is something we all know. Telling us this is going to happen in the fall of 2013, and it actually happening would be a little more remarkable.

    What, you think this is the kind of thing that just happens because the Big 12 says they'd like it?

    Yes, they'd like that whole list; but, they didn't come out and ask for those because they knew they had little to no chance (or had casual Fridays already).

    What they have done is start the discussions on something they think they can get. That is noteworthy.

    Upon further review, by asking for their own subdivisions they are asking for their own pot of gold. ;)

  10. 2017 gives us time to get the IPF up and running and recruit some better athletes. Who knows, we might be playing FBS by then (not likely, but you never know with all the realignments going on).

    The PAC-12 could be part of a new division by then too ... strange days ...

  11. Don't forget some are Pharmacists. You may not know this, but that isn't the same as farmers.

    So it's not

    "... with a blue pill here and half ounce there, here a pill, there a pill, ... Old MacDonald had a pharm ... "

    (I left off the last part because I'm pretty sure the NDSU folks can't spell "E-I-E-I-O". ;):D )
