  1. *I assumed Carlson was behind this from some of the earlier posts.

    Is Al Carlson behind this? Can't say; don't know.

    Will he willingly use this to keep working toward his end goal (dissolution of the ND SBoHE and return of those powers to the Legislature)? Oh yeah ...

  2. We finally deal with the UND moniker.

    And the fiscal issues at NDSU (Dr. Chapman).

    And Dr. Shirvani and the turmoil of his tenure as NDUS chancellor.

    Now this:

    NDSU president accused of destroying 45,000 emails subject to an open records request

    http://www.inforum.c...icle/id/404107/

    Welcome to the next round of Al Carlson and his Cabal claiming ND SBoHE and the NDUS is completely out of control and looking to wrest control over ND Higher Ed back into the Legislature.

    Thanks Dr. Bresciani. :glare:

    Edit: Fargo Forum headline updated to:

    NDSU president denies deleting 45,000 emails subject to open records request; state AG investigating

  3. I think we should have a picture of something in ours that represent North Dakota or Grand Forks. What would that be though?

    The endzone is flat and level. It's either green or has a white overlayer.

    What more representative do you want? Replace the corner pylons with sandbags maybe?

  4. Apparently I'm supposed to insult you.

    Let me see...

    Uh, your mother dresses you funny?

    Does that count?

    Weak, weak, weak. Try something like this:

    You're such a pitiful soul that you are out at bars by yourself after closing, hitting on females out of your league (by your own admission), getting into alley brawls, fleeing law enforcement, and then giving Jerry Springer worthy confessionals in the back seat of a squad car.

    That would be an insult.

  5. Since we are playing scenarios that are out there ...

    Let's say the DU/UNO/Summit gambit happens. That'll probably be a couple years out from now. By then the negative gate impact of Big Ten Hockey will have hit UMn/UW. That means UMn/UW will need something to respark their fan bases (because PSU and OSU won't offer the spark).

    And now the Big Ten has opened the precedent to affiliate members (Johns Hopkins lacrosse in the new Big Ten Lax).

    So, I say let DU/UNO try that gambit, and then have UND apply (beg?) the Big Ten to let UND play as a hockey affiliate.

    Hey, I said "out there" ...

  6. If you weren't aware of it, southern Alberta is taking a massive beating right now.

    High River, AB, Corbin Knight's hometown, is a virtual lake. At least three have died in the flooding.

    http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/story/2013/06/21/alberta-flooding-calgary-canmore-high-water.html

    The water is up to row nine in the home of the Calgary Flames.

    Most of downtown Calgary is flooded.

    Looks like another time for the good people of Grand Forks to mentor those facing an ugly recovery process.

    To those of you facing this mess, stay safe.

  7. The top 5 conferences have to come up with a way to 'legally' separate themselves ...

    That way is completely easy and predictable: Secede.

    The NCAA is a completely voluntary association.

    Secede and create "The SPATT" ... short for Sec, Pac12, Acc, big Ten, big Twelve.

  8. Observations:

    - Leddy has been terrible*. Finally "The Q" sits him.

    - It seems only two types of penalties get called: too many men or high sticks.

    - Crawford is a headcase on anything high glove right now. Paging Mr. Emery, Mr. Ray Emery ... please report to the blue painted ice ...

    *and not just because he's a stinkin' Goldie.

  9. The admittedly wonderful looking but will we ever see it drawings of a new football stadium on the site of Memorial did not show a track encircling the field. Those drawings envisioned an outdoor track and soccer area (and second parking ramp) in the area that is now a parking lot east of Columbia Road and south of University.

    That says to me that (a) there is room for the ITF to come west, and (b) the ITF Phase 2 might be "under" an east grandstand of such a football stadium.

  10. Repeat after me, "The NCAA is a voluntary organization." The member schools of the big 5 conferences are voluntary members of the NCAA. If they decide to leave the NCAA, and take the money with them, they can do so without penalty.

    For a group that recently, gleefully told UND fans "the NCAA is a voluntary organization" they sure don't seem to understand that when it could come around and gore their ox (or bison).

  11. 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).

  12. 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).

  13. 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.
