The Sicatoka

A tomahawk is an ax. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomahawk_(axe) (And that's something on there that had me thinking also. )

I see your concept, but the guys in Pierre say the bunnies have to bring their stray, mangy dog with them wherever they go. That'd make twelve (your eleven plus USD).

The acoustics in Alerus Center has to be tough to manage with that curved downward ceiling.

The Power 5 conferences will get this because of the sabre-rattling being done by the SEC: Allow me to translate the bold portion: "Give us what we want or we're bolting from the NCAA to form our own new organization and we're taking all the money with us." http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/ncaaf/2014/07/14/commissioner-mike-slive-sec-media-days-ncaa-autonomy/12632085/

Here it is in all its glory: http://www.ncaa.org/sites/default/files/DI%20Steering%20Commitee%20on%20Gov%20Proposed%20Model%2007%2018%2014%204.pdf I'll try to start digesting it.

What you're saying is ... you believe ... with no supporting data, correct?

Are those the new going in or the old coming out?

That describes the vast majority of FCS and the bottom third of FBS.

Did you say "jersey fouls" or ... "foul jerseys"? I have something for the latter category. Those are some foul jerseys.

What nose? She has a nose? Oh ... there. Wasn't looking there.

I believe UND's next moniker is somewhere in that logo. I can't prove it; just a gut feeling.

I'll take the job in a heartbeat. The heat of the job would be better than having done nothing and seeing some 'kumbaya' moniker show up.

State law says UND can't pick a new moniker until Jan 2015. That newspaper (from Macon, GA) more than likely assumed from there.

To steal a phrase, "My oh my." That smells like a "lock down" or "lock in" of the current membership.

I had to clean some profanity out of this thread (I'm looking at you nodak651). And I had to clean a post quoting it (I'm looking at you Johnboy). Forum guidelines -- No profanity. Thank you.

"Neat"? Turn in your Man Card (assuming you had one).

I recall UND playing in an NCAA national semi-final this spring ...

Ah yes, you contribute much to the betterment of society. Where'd you go to school again?

So then what are you good for?

Patience, Grasshopper. The final obstacle has been cleared. Your 63rd education will come soon enough.

If the current P5 were to rewrite parts of the rules, as you hypothesize, you have to know they'd understand that many FCS schools don't have 15,000 seat stadiums. I wonder if they'd revisit that number (or the attendance section in general). It'd take the pressure off of a significant number of current FBS (G5) schools also.

That's an excerpt from the memorandum returning Idaho (all but football) to the Big Sky. Fullerton wants Idaho back in the Big Sky. Idaho's academic credentials would help Fullerton appease the concerns of the Montana schools regarding letting lesser academic schools in the conference. (Fullerton wanted North Dakota for that same reason.) You can see the same concern in reverse from Idaho, namely, if those named three weren't at the party when Idaho showed up they could get out of the deal including getting their deposit back. (Fullerton would give the deposit back! That's how much he was willing to bend to what Idaho wanted to get them.) Idaho tightens up, makes more stable, Fullerton's northern Big Sky nucleus.

Adidas makes much, much more sense given the bolded portion (quoted from SFI).

Eleventy-billion to two!
