Put another way, it pays more to work in the PHARM, than it does to fly over it. Devil's advocate on Pharm.D. versus Aviation, for example.

To pull the plug after one season is still surprising to me.

Wonder what happened between him and Coach Reich?

Between him and Rivard it was just a comedy of errors.

I too, am old enough to remember when sports not played on a sheet of frozen water meant something in Grand Forks. RIP Coach Fitch.

And Patrick Graham was a finalist. Mind boggling.

I was torn between Harbaugh and O’Connell. I’m good with this.

Harbaugh is in Eagan today, on national signing day. Wouldn’t be surprised if something leaks later today or tonight.

This was the path of least resistance we were stuck with, due to Buning flaking out.

There was no AD at the time of Mussman’s hiring. That’s the problem. Add a president that couldn’t have cared any less about athletics and you get a recipe for trouble.

Big city livin' and a voodoo woman named Phyllis.

TCO Performance Center, US Bank Stadium, and the patient management style of the Wilfs. Vikings hands down.

Other than tweak it one more time to give the opposing team the ball after a touchdown, in addition to a field goal, I'm not sure what options they have.

And those are his redeeming qualities…

A simple voicemail from Larsen to Greg Byrne would lend truth to this, technically.

This would be a blast. As a practical matter, I don't think the college prezs will allow for a 17-game season, which you'd be looking at with the G5's. Realistically do they get deep enough to go 17, probably not. That brings up 16 games for the majors, and that's assuming they drop the conference championship games. That probably won't fly either. I could be wrong, will be interesting to see what unfolds. Expansion is inevitable, too much money out there.

In a 12-team format there's no question all P5 champions would receive autobids.

Several 12-team proposals have an auto-bid going to the top ranked G5, which is an idea that I like.

The annual convention is this coming week.

A few comments here: Team Makers is a money raising machine at this point. Hell, there are business owners in Frisco, TX donating annually. Bison fans feel free to chime in here and confirm or deny. Secondly, as to UND, sadly I believe that the Sioux name saga has hindered us on the fundraising side, which is outside of anyone's control

This is pretty accurate. Outside of the Geico “he’s burping the baby” trick play, UND never sniffed the end zone.

I thought Year 1 exceeded expectations, but yes...the product on the floor is pretty lousy right now.

It's Year 3 of Sather. Patience will be a virtue here.

This is pretty cool. Could Weatherby play 3rd line LW?
