    FCS Playoffs

    Walsh Hall replied to Wilbur's topic in Football

    The money needs to come from boosters. There isn't 200k sitting around at the end of the year to cut a check. I have no idea what arrangements Chaves tried to make, but I'd imagine a school would want to have the money lined up well in advance in case it's needed. Feel free to contact Chaves and guarantee a pledge for next year's playoffs for 50K, 20K, or even 10K to get that bid started. I'm sure the program would greatly appreciate it.

    He's earned over 8m and played 354 NHL games as a 24 year old. What an underachiever.

    That year when Johan and Liariano were cooking was an entertaining summer. Made batters look like absolute fools.

    Do other similarly situated institutions have NLI groups? If so, do they generally try to provide a payment across the board to all players or use the funds to try to attract specific higher end athletes. I don't have a clear picture as to how to best utilize NLI at the FCS level to try to achieve a competitive advantage.

    Why people wouldn't support the local kids, and actually belittle them, is beyond me. Just having a cup of coffee in the NFL for a ND kid is something to celebrate. I don't recall Jim K or Phil H getting the crap that Carson does. He's only the 27th best QB in the world? Oh god, let's disown that guy.

    The Twins have 23 quality starts this year. Worst in the AL. I believe there are (2) major reasons for this horrible stat. One is on the pitchers, the other is on the manager.

    That's not because the shot isn't considered holed, but to prevent damage to the cup or lip. Not a rule of golf per se, but certainly good manners and golf course etiquette. Similar to pulling the ball out of the cup with your putter.

    It's extremely well documented that the younger generations have a propensity to prefer the flexibility of "apartment life." Statistically they are more liking to frequently change jobs and to relocate. Their spending habits and priorities are statistically different than older generations. There is a measurable different is favoring experiences over possessions. Less of that demographic has the goal of a classic home ownership model. It's not a coincidence that higher end apartments with many amenities (dining, coffee shop, services, entertainment space) are becoming more popular.

    It wouldn't hurt to get an inning or two more from the starters as well. Getting 4/5 innings from the starter adds to the bullpen strain. In the (5) blown games the bullpen pitched a total of 23 innings.

    I have zero information about the particulars of this situation. That said, the administrative process which was followed is completely different than a criminal proceeding. The statement that he was "charged" is misleading as best. He was not criminally charged with anything (outside a DUS). The evidentiary rules, finders of fact, and burden of proof are all vastly different in the admin proceeding vs. a criminal case. The standard to charge him criminally would be much more analogous to the final admin burden. The alleged victim does not charge anyone, the State (or Feds) does. I'm making no statement about Otis, but when anyone comes before an administrative tribunal the odds are incredibly stacked against them. When the situation involved an institution of higher education, the odds get much much worse.

    Do you have any idea on how Berry has handled the scholarship dollars? Who's scholarship dollars were cut or eliminated to bring in the (4) Freshman(F)? How does Berry pushing non-scholarship players to the portal assist in bringing in a scholarship player? Do you believe Spicer would come in with no scholarship? None of this is just a simplistic player-for-player analysis.
  13. Walsh Hall
    I think the point is that having Budy go to the portal will NOT free up any scholarship money.

    They’re starting a new college?

    Jost isn't star, but he's a solid NHL player who has earned more than 10m and is still in his early 20's. While we would have loved to have him another year, the kid's done pretty well for himself and his family.
  16. Walsh Hall
    Absolutely

    Caught a big break by having Minot lose their first game and not facing them in the come back game. The bottom half of the west was pretty even (and very bad). I can’t imagine a 9 seed had ever qualified for state.

    I don't know what you guys expect. Compared to comparable communities we get way more blue-chippers. Like it or not, Michigan, Minnesota, Boston Schools, etc... have a huge advantage with many kids over a GF, Duluth, Mankato... based on the city. For a kid from a metro area, moving to GF is more of a shock than someone from GF moving to Hazen for college. Throw in that there are around 5 "blue-chippers" each year we aren't getting one every year. The number of high end guys we get is really quite amazing.
  19. Walsh Hall
    It appears, on average, there are 5/6 "blue chippers" per year. Out of those, a good chunk have to be basically unrecruitable based on ties to particular programs. There's probably around 3 "blue chippers" per year that are actually in play. Every team is in on those guys. Landing one of them every few years is pretty impressive. Our facility and history are second to none, but living in GF has to be a big turn-off to some of those kids. Over that last decade how many recruiting battles has Minnesota won? Their blue-chippers all seem to be guys that aren't going to seriously consider other schools.

    No other teams were interested in Sanderson?
  21. Walsh Hall
    If the current team is anything like teams of the past, the players would kick his butt if he was selected for the Olympics and declined.

    I've watched some games out in the West. Pretty rough year from what I've seen. The Bismarck teams have definitely taken a hit being divided (3) ways.

    Ian Kidd wants to go to Detroit too!

    The essential elements of the 3 charges aren’t particularly intuitive. For the 2nd degree murdered charge there didn’t need to be a specific finding of intent to kill, only a casual relationship to the death while committing another crime. Essentially, were Chauvins actions a substantial causal factor in Floyd’s death while using unreasonable force? As an analogy, I rob a bank and point a gun at the teller. She dies of a heart attack. I still committed 2nd degree murder in MN even though I had no intent to kill anyone. The juror made the determination that there was not reasonable doubt that Chauvins force was excessive, and that the use of force played a role in his death. For what it’s worth, in ND I think this is a negligent homicide, C felony case.
  25. Walsh Hall
    My point was that the defense doesn't need to prove anything. The state needs to prove each essential element beyond a reasonable doubt.
