Go tell it to a Green Beret.

I was going to say "most pitiful" but ... yeah, close enough. Next thing you know Cratter will set up a website where you can have imaginary friends who claim to like you. Oh, wait, ... Mark Zuckerberg did that already.

Interesting thought hit me tonight: - school color - an NDSU fan making fun of Bubba's "boonie cap" <-- the kind worn by elite US Special Forces (like ... wait for it ... ) - show some honor and respect to US service men and women The University of North Dakota Green Berets http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_Forces_(United_States_Army) I suspect the Berets would chuckle if NCAA and other do-gooders claimed we were being "hostile and abusive" to them.

I have more profile views than you. You set it up to penalize me with the "number of posts" divisor because I have three times the number of posts you do. Thus, I declare your methodology void if not hostile and abusive.

The man wears half a hat ... a VISOR! How will kids relate to that? http://i.turner.ncaa.com/dr/ncaa/ncaa7/release/sites/default/files/styles/640x360/public/media/north-dakota-state-chris-klieman-121513.jpg?itok=Vyv0wS9j (Sorry, sorry, I couldn't resist.)

Regarding those dates: I know all three answers. And quit bringing facts into this.

Call it the "Don Adam" approach to reporting. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=10-p3C-FbGw

About Bubba's "boonie hat": Yes, it's a boonie hat. At least that's what Navy SEALS and Army Green Berets and Air Force 160th Special Ops Group, the Night Stalkers, call it when they are issued it as only members of those elite branches of US Special Forces are allowed to wear them in the field. But surely age 20-ish souls in US Special Forces are just wearing "old man" hats. Good Lord NDSU fans: You're #1 in the polls. You have a juggernaut. And you're worried about a non-rival coach's hat? After thought: Maybe UND should start selling digital camo boonie hats with the interlocked ND logo on them.

He's referring to a report put out by PayScale.com with a couple glaring weaknesses reported and admitted to and by PayScale: - It only looks at undergraduate degrees -- it does not look at alumni with graduate degrees (Med School, Law School) in their calculations - It is using self-reported data from alumni in their surveys (no validation) - The use a small survey size (error prone) - The economy (world, national, regional) has significant effects on the study outcome based on degree offerings (like recent booming ag and lackluster aviation)

How things are right now, today, is how they'll always be. < / irony >

Influence and capabilities of a university extend far beyond those exhibited upon a patch of ground 120 yards by 53.3 yards.

Geez, no one has started this yet; so, welcome to the 2014 season thread. As Coach Schweigert would say, "Day by day." Here's the perfect background for that motto because you don't get to the finished product all at once. You must work to a plan. You must stick with the plan. It won't be easy. It won't be quick. Some days it won't even look like you're getting anywhere. But do the work and you'll end up with something great and be where you want to be and have your goal and dream. But first you must do the work ... Day by day.

They only run KKXL-FM (93.7), not KKXL-AM (1440), on IHeartRadio. IHeart is a Clear Channel thing (and KKXL-AM is Clear Channel). It should be easy enough for them to add it if folks started pinging the station and asking. The only hang-up might be that it runs the same thing most of the day as 100.3 The Fan out of MSP and that's already on IHeart.

How many legged variety?

And there are folks still referring to Stanford or Dartmouth as "Indians".

And that's the only statement in all of this non-sense that matters. Why? Because CAS does care at some level about UND Football, just like UND fans care about NDSU Football. And by "care" I mean you want to play them when they are "up". Beating them when they are down as a program is not what rivalry is about.

Honest opinion: Anyone in the FBS poll in the teens or below (say 13-25) would be in deep trouble against NDSU.

How much will having played Wyoming (Bohl's systems) help Montana at NDSU in a couple weeks?

OK, if policy is still "handle in the residence halls" first, why were the cops called? Something isn't right in this picture.

I understand what you're trying to say, but riddle me this: How does playing a DII help a team looking to become DI? In a strangely twisted and perverse way, RT helped NDSU by forcing NDSU to play DIs and not legacy DIIs.

No kidding. Back in the day, an RA would write you up if they saw alcohol (and you'd get a firm finger shaken at you by the hall director). If that was the policy back then, UPD would've had to set up a precinct office in the lobby of Walsh Hall.

Chimp-monks ... I like it; however, (and there's always a however) ... Logo is already taken -- Providence Friars A monk as a mascot? You want the Catholic Church crashing down on us next?

I threw you a bone.

Saying "Oh the MVFC will open up to you if you join the SL" is one thing. Actually having the invitation on paper is quite another. You go with what's on paper.

Arkansas-LITTLE ROCK (there's a joke there somewhere) VIRGINia State (another joke in the mix there also) Troy University (of Alabama) University of Southern California ... all Trojans.
