From now on, they can add that tagline to every diploma issued by 'su.

-original draft

What's the over/under on that?

It sounds that way. "Your Honor, these people committed heinous acts against the people of North Dakota ... but we have a great deal that will get them on the field for Saturday ..."

Here's a new picture of the recently renovated 'su Athletic Department office.

It's probably the only way he did it, unless he cut them a fee deal, and I believe he is an 'su alum. But I'm not sure how closely the NC$$ would look at attorney representation in a criminal matter. Bruce makes them a deal, they take a plea and if they behave for a year they are clean enough to work for 'su. No costly jury trials, motions, etc.

I can't wait for the other 'su trolls to sober up from their Prestone martinis a bit and make their presence known. We can read about their various strawman arguments involving hockey, or hocking, the "pro-UND" bias of the big, bad media, the "jealousy" of UND fans, the strong response to the GUILTY pleas by Bohl and Taylor ... should be a fun day.

No, I'm multi-tasking on a call, but nice try. Shouldn't you be leading the "Save Bison 10!" rally outside the courthouse? Perhaps you could lead a petition drive, since it seems 'su offers a major in the field.

I think she's off her meds today.

It's FDIC And just try getting a waiver from them. You *may* get it within a year or so and you can't work for a covered institution in the interim.

I have read the rule, and I have enforced it. "Prior written consent", whatever that means. has no bearing. You plead or are found guilty and the result is the same, even if the criminal record is cleared or expunged. The feds don't care. But rest assured I'm sure they'll find suitable employment ... "You wanna Super Size that?" Which I do believe is 'su's motto ...

Well, looks like they can forget about a career in banking and perhaps other forms of financial services. And it doesn't matter if the crime was a misdemeanor or that their records are later cleared.

That raises a good question. Did Bohl or anybody else in the 'su administration help the players get these "jobs"? The NC$$ has looked at "no-show"-type jobs at various programs where the players were paid, but didn't really do anything, in the past. it would be interesting to see those emails before and after the arrests ...

It's going to be interesting. Bruce is a very good lawyer. It's possible they'll cop pleas with a deferred or suspended sentence for their own indvidual actions, and perhaps give testimony that might implicate the company in a later case.

What's a "hocking party"? Is that an 'su tradition, sort of like your annual hogcoming festivities? Or were you so enraptured by the petty criminals on your team, and their "street cred", that you lost your sense of spelling?

And fully blessed by the NC$$ too.

Yes, but in the pre-season poll you were expected do it when you were talking to your boss ... so you're kind of lagging.

Next time keep your tractor on the right side of the road and save yourself the trouble with Barney Fife ...

Somewhat amusing that the "victim" graduated from a place that shares a name with a winery/vine yard.

Heard a story on "Bob 'n Tom" this morning about college students bonging box wine up their a$$es for the same effect. And some of the same results related to alcohol poisoning. As for our guys, getting your newbies in deep and then leaving them on their own when they were obviously in trouble ... that's really disgraceful.

Where's your misplaced sense of false outrage? Shouldn't you be writing letters or screaming at your computer?

Perhaps they borrowed it from "The" Ohio State University ...

Please don't point out our hypocrisy in a public forum. It makes us uncomfortable as we count our money and push our social engineering agendas. Sincerely, NC$$ Management

This league is turning into a joke and it hasn't even gotten off the ground.

Does it matter? Rules are rules. If you're not going to enforce them, don't bother writing them.
