You want a moderator to protect you from the mean people that are calling you out on your continuing lies?

Tail number 29000 in one of the planes used as Air Force One. Tail number N29000 is not. Tail numbers starting with N are civilian aircraft. N29000 is a You claimed to fly on N29000, not 29000. You can't even get your lies right.

Of the current NFL coaches, approximately 75% of them had their first head coaching position in the NFL. It has actually become pretty rare for head coaches in college to move to the NFL. There are exceptions, but the normal career path now is to start as a position coach at either the college level or the NFL (some move back and forth at this level), then pick a path that will take them to a coordinator position and then to head coach in either a college path or an NFL path. If Tibesar likes coaching in the NFL and has decided that he is interested in becoming a head coach in the NFL then it is very unlikely that he would consider coming back to UND at all.

That's the way it sounds. Recruits aren't going to be really interested in talking to a coach who won't be at the school next year anyway. The new staff will probably hit the road right after signing contracts.

That means they will get paid through the end of the year, doesn't mean that they will work. A lot of places do it this way when they are completely changing staff.

A lot of the recruits that have an interest in UND probably won't make a decision until January anyway, so a new staff would have time to work with them. Most of the new coaching staff has probably been recruiting for another school, so they have their own network. They might not get all of the top recruits they would like this year, but they will be able to fill out the class. There are plenty of football players who have enough talent to play at the FCS level who don't get scholarships. The new coaching staff just needs to find the right ones.

It probably wasn't huge dollars. But money from the TV contract plus money from the conference tournament probably cover most, if not all of the costs to run the conference. That would be money that the schools don't have to take out of their own programs. Anything over the cost to run the conference would be returned to the schools.

Midco would be happy to work with FCS on hockey, they are on all of the other sports. But they are not allowed to put hockey games on FCS because of the NCHC contract with CBS Sports. UND and Midco will continue to look for ways around that restriction. I don't think that numbers were ever released about the CBS Sports contract.

I think that there's another factor that hasn't been mentioned. I believe that the NCHC is getting paid by CBS Sports for the TV rights. No one was paid by FCS. So the other schools are getting a financial benefit and more exposure by taking the CBS Sports deal. That sounds like a no brainer for those schools.

Premiere programs aren't decided based on the results of 1 month worth of games. Premiere programs are based on performance over longer periods of time, like a season or series of seasons.

Really? How many conference championships have his team won? How many conference tournaments have his team won? How many NCAA tournament appearances have his team made? They won a big game in the regular season and deserve congratulations, but they aren't the premiere program on campus or in their league yet.

They don't translate because there is less scoring in college hockey than in some of the junior leagues. Plus they play a lot more games in the junior leagues so the number of points adds up. The MacMillan brothers played 59 games the year they scored so many points. Most of the top top college teams have several players that scored 60 or more points in a junior season and not many score that many points in a season in college. Last year 5 players in NCAA Division I scored 60 or more and 2 more scored 59. Danny Kristo was one of the 5.

Who are these mystery players that scored 100 points in the BCHL? I went through the roster for this year and last year, the closest I could find were the Macmillan brothers. The year they played on the same line Mitch had 93 points and Mark had 80. No one else scored that many points in any league for a season.

CBS Sports signed the contract with NCHC in January of 2012. Midcontinent didn't sign the deal with UND until June 2012. Why would Midcontinent try to force anything before they had a deal, and how would they be able to force anything? They had no power in the equation. And Midcontinent doesn't really benefit from the clause, it just takes games away from what they can broadcast. All reports have said that UND and Mr. Faison voted against the contract. How does UND benefit from the clause? If they don't benefit from the clause, why would they try to force the inclusion of the clause? UND lost some visibility because of the clause, and the Midcontinent deal was signed after the CBS Sports deal, so it was based on Midcontinent having to deal with the exclusivity clause. Your questions have no logical basis.

I had forgotten about that. Didn't Newman make them? They make a lot of different signs, not just billboards.

I think that Newman's headquarters are still in Jamestown. He started in Fargo-Moorhead while he was in college, but he moved the company after he graduated. They have staff in a lot of places, including a sales person located in Grand Forks. They have a plant in Jamestown.

I believe that Harold Newman is a graduate of Moorhead State University and originally from Mayville. I don't know what connections he might have to NDSUAAS. I know that they have a suite at the Alerus Center and think that they have had one at REA (I don't know if they still do or not).

NDSUAAS has had billboards in Grand Forks for years. I remember seeing billboards for football, basketball and general for enrollment. The ones I remember most have been along Gateway Drive and along Demers Avenue. IIRC there was a lot of angst on this board a few years ago when they had a football billboard up by the Westward Ho. I don't know if there are more or less right now than in past years, but there is nothing new about NDSUAAS having billboards in Grand Forks.

Try again, that NDSUAAS education doesn't seem to be working too well for you.

Actually, they were way down last year. Only decreased about 10% this year, from 65,300 in 2012 to 59,500 this year. A lot of people still go to the hunting camp for the weekend whether they have a tag or not. Another possible reason for lower attendance on Saturday is the fact that today is Veteran's Day. I'm pretty sure that it's a holiday, which means that students have a 3 day weekend. A lot of students go home on 3 day weekends. So student attendance at the volleyball game might have been down because there were fewer students on campus than normal.

Probably not 100% certain. On what football play are they 100% certain that something specific is going to happen? But my guess is that he is pretty sure that he is either going to score or get pushed out of bounds, and he probably thinks that the chances of fumbling are small and the chances of fumbling into the endzone are much smaller. At the angles that Ponder and the DB were coming from it would have taken a really strange bounce to end up in the endzone. Players make a lot of bad choices trying to reach out and gain an extra yard or 2. This time it was a lower risk, potentially high reward move.

My point was that either he was going to score, or the ball was going out of bounds and stay in Vikings possession. The chances of Ponder fumbling and the ball going into the end zone was very slim. Players are going to take that small amount of risk to get the score now rather than risking something else happening on another play. Did you read the entire post or did you just stop after the first sentence? You asked for a good reason for why they do it, I tried to give you a good reason.

It would have been a touchdown as soon as the ball broke the plane of the goal line as long as it was still in his possession. The players don't plan to fumble, so they are taking the chance that they'll score the TD before they lose the ball. In this particular case it would have been difficult for the ball to stay in bounds long enough to cross the goal line and go out of bounds after Ponder fumbled, especially the way the defensive back was trying to push the ball backwards when he hit Ponder (the DB's right hand was directly on the point of the ball pushing it back toward the playing field). It was either going to be a touchdown or the ball was going to be out of bounds just short of the goal line. The players would rather take a small chance at that point than have to run another play where anything can happen (penalty, bad snap, fumble, interception, loss of yardage, etc.). Besides, players at that level are supremely confident in their own abilities and don't believe they are going to fail as they are running the play.

I'm pretty sure that the 2 guys just swapped keys and took the others place in the households. The dogs stayed with the families. It would be pretty hard to take the dogs away from the kids.
