Leach has been fired. http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/bowls09/news/story?id=4781981

Since when is dying in your late 20's and early 30's (in the case of Brittany Murphy) due to natural causes?

Rowney and Cichy?

If in Hakstol's judgement this kid is worthy of another chance that's good enough for me. http://twitter.com/SchlossmanGF/status/7174576508

They had to skimp on the excavators, as UND has tied up the lion's share of state money.

The player's dad is Craig James from ESPN.

If you have his e-mail please post it here or PM me and I'll be happy to ask him myself. I look for his e-mail address and haven't found it published.

DB coach. http://www.areavoices.com/waynenelson/ On an unrelated note can someone please tell Wayne to shut the comments off?

To the posters and guests of Siouxsports.com and their families, Merry Christmas to all of you!

Geez no wonder Van Diest said forget it.

Thanks for the perspective from that way, Witt. The NDSU arrangement with DeBoer and Co. that was rumored sounded like the most awkward thing I'd ever heard in my life, no surprise there about it not happening. Should be interesting to see what happens with the Griz, sounds like they are trying to get it done by the end of the year at the latest if not sooner.

Speculation is fun, I'll throw Joe Glenn and Van Diest from Carroll out there as two replacements.

We could keep the name...when Minnesota and Wisconsin bolt for a Big Ten conference they could choose not to play UND.

I have a feeling we will be seeing Jake coaching on a big stage in the future. You can bet Gary Barta at Iowa is watching.

It sounds bad but I don't see how this team could have lost to Mayville.

34-20 UNI Halftime.

27-18 UNI at the 4 break. This Sonnen kid from Tartan is a player.

21-16 UNI at the 8 break.

Gulseth in the house. 14-11 UNI at the 12:00 TV timeout.

10-8 UNI 14:25 to go. Shots beginning to fall, tempo favoring UNI.

7-0 UNI 20 Sec. timeout North Dakota 16:56 to go.

Underway at the Betty. Sweeney is a very busy guy.

Jumping over to the basketball game, it's in the more than capable hands of RD17.

I know I probably sound like a walking DirecTV commercial sometimes, but it's on right now on 613 for anybody interested.

FCS Football is all about the East right now. Congratulations to Villanova.
