That thing looks fun as hell!

It's wishful thinking. Frazee and Kangas will be seeing a lot of rubber from the sticks of Oshie and Duncan very soon. I'm looking forward to being there.

Lucia doesn't seem to have any success recruiting those kind of kids.

Gee, sure hope we get it!!

Huge loss for the goofys. Let's see....Anderson, Fischer, Peltier, Schack, Wehrs, Fairchild, Bickel, O'Brien.......arena managers around the league, stock plenty of extra light bulbs....

Sounds like our kind of people.

COPS should do an episode from up there.

What are those noises I hear from the south? **murmur** ***murmurmurmur*** **murmurmurmurmurmur***

Kozek and Watkins need to step up the goal production.

Rachel McAdams, Leinie's Honeyweiss, croquet, and Journey? I think I like this kid! http://www.cbs.com/primetime/bigbrother8/guests/nick.shtml

Maybe a couple of years at Binghamton sounds better to him than returning to UND at this point. Maybe anything sounds better.

I'll take a wag at it...we're talking about Budish, aren't we.

He seems very likable and engaging in person. I'm not privy to all of the he said-she said stuff, but in my opinion a 10-game football schedule is an embarassment with where our programs are headed in the next five years.

Don't get me wrong, I think Schafer would be a great candidate. I'm just preparing myself to be underwhelmed when the smoke clears...you know, like the old saying "those that can't do, teach".

I'm sure it will end up being a provost from some peer institution far, far away.

You're in Grand Forks? I think the whole "cost of living" argument is way overblown (check your property tax bill). If you're in Inkster or Minto, then yes, otherwise, I really don't see a significant difference between the suburban Metro or Fargo-Moorhead or the Grand Cities.

No real surprises here, except Rolette County. What's driving the growth there?

If I were in "lame-duck" mode, I'd want fewer direct reports, too. A new president will shake this up again.

Zach's big brother.

Where did you find that picture of Chapman and Paulsen?

It found it quite strange that he was invited to participate in the recent football meetings.

In that case, our admin is in big trouble....

This seemed strange to me, too. The fact that Pat Behrns was there, and Tom Buning was not, is down right weird.

Do we really know that for sure? Intentional leaks of information happen all of the time. Not to say that's what this was, but who is to say it wasn't? As to the debating of job performance, ask any of the coaches. They'd likely prefer no online discussion, but that's not reality in today's world.
