The NCAA looks at athletic departments (all sports) when determining division criteria*; however, they only look at attendance minimums (and I use that term loosely because that's how they enforce it) in one sport. If the minimum is there for "sustainability" (financially) of the department, why don't they look at "total attendance for all sports"? Isn't that the true measure of an all sports department --> are there enough people through the turnstiles to support the athletic department (all sports). *16 sports, N mens, M womens, blah-blah-blah

Dear Chris, What you did is as bad or worse than what you accused of a Viking coach. The Vikings had to "spin" nothing. They reported your actions. You tried to sit on a moral high horse and instead got knocked off of it onto your own exposed rear end. Live with that. Signed, Irony, the harshest mistress

I thought the biggest issue in Williston was finding a parking spot at a grocery store that actually had things on the shelves. I'm sort of surprised that Whole Foods and Trader Joe's aren't looking at Bismarck/Mandan. A lot of folks go there for supplies.

I prefer to think the UMTC as the "Gehenna Gophers" or the "Moldin' Rodents". Oilers is not very PC (think: "green") and Findlay (OH) uses it.

The radar looked pretty rough for the northern RRV tonight. How'd everyone come through the storm?

They'll say what they'll say. They'll be right, or, they'll be wrong.

Folks, we've already been given clearance from a mouth piece of the opponents. Remember this? That was published in the GF Herald Wednesday, November 28, 2007.

Sydney Boike is tweeting she's going to UND (retweet via GFH Tom Miller).

Former Enron accountants need jobs too.

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.
