From the outside looking in, this has been handled very poorly, I agree.

Not so fast. We don't even know who the President will be a year from now. Who will be the interim AD? Ralston? Who will lead the search? Harmeson?

This needs to get done. There are PLENTY of other options for Coach Hak outside of NCAA hockey. Get it done, Mr. Buning.

Gradually, more seats will require a Fighting Sioux Club membership, which is both good and bad.

You're not gonna like Division I very much, then.

Let's dust off the Sitting Bull trophy and put it on the line again!! At least we don't need to gin up some phony mile marker. Should be a great game in Vermillion again, with a lot on the line. Would love to be there, but will be in Madison/Green Bay following the hockey/football.

Sounds like a definite factor in this: Division II presidents endorse regionalization model

The hockey-football-hockey triple headers are a blast. 2003 hockey v. BC and football v. NDSU was probably the most fun sports weekend I can remember up there. The weather probably had something to do with that, too. Good times. We definitely plan on being up there for the Oct 13 and Nov 3 weekends. And Thanksgiving, Christmas break, and the Gopher series, come to think of it.

I read it the same way as S2C, no movement between subdivisions means no moving between FCS and FBS. I'm not sure what affect this has on UND's conference aspirations, if any. I still tend to think the picture will be driven from the top down, i.e. the expansion of the Big Ten or Pac-10 sets the dominos in motion.

Any progress on a new prez?? Edit: Interesting article from about a month ago, regarding the search firm. Link

I would think this will be in a holding pattern until a new President takes over.

Congrats to them, and I'm looking forward to them lighting up opposing defenses on a weekly basis. This offense is gonna be fun to watch!

My friend James is looking for a "housesitter" for his season tickets: Sioux Hockey Season Tickets for sale. Two outstanding lower bowl seats (row K, seats 13 and 14) located between the blue line and the goal (where we shoot twice). Sale price includes: Two seats at face value ($355 ea) $710

From last week: http://www.mcall.com/sports/college/all-fb...0,7128531.story Draw your own conclusions, but it sounds dead to me.

No biggie. Madison is a blast, try to get it on your calendar some season.

I'll mark you down as not interested.

Bury you head-first in the nearest snowbank?

You should go to MadTown with us.

Nice of you to strike the "drive-by Dick Cheney bashing" from the record.

Let's fit you up in a Bison jersey, and see how it goes. The undercard to 7>4-NDH, maybe.

He's at the FOURTY, the THIRTY...he's going all the way to the N-F-L!!! Watched it at the satellite party at Bloomington Senser's....that play shut up the Bison pie-holes, that's for sure. Phillip Moore was HUGE that night, too. That was in '98, so the drought was long over.

I found something less funny than Dane Cook, if you can believe it. For those of you old enough (like me), it's the Dickie Goodman song parodies from the 70's.

Actually, a strong case could be made for religion. And the line of politics and religion is pretty gray, at that.

Which reminds me, our "good friend" Nick Coleman weighed in on the subject yesterday. http://www.startribune.com/357/story/1339911.html

The winner of the Final Five gets the Broadmoor Trophy and an autobid.
