Hard to make money when you're being taxed to death.

But it hits the instate landowners too.

I am in favor of eliminating all property tax then, not just on the residences.

It would make more sense to eliminate the income tax.

But I hear some of the entrenched ones want to change and lengthen the number of terms they can serve. I imagine every term they will try and stretch it out further and further. I have zero respect for the ND Legislature.

Valpo never excites me no matter where we play them. Same goes for other teams like Drake which tend to show up every few years. I don't care if it's an easy win. If we need to schedule crap teams to pad the record we aren't ready for the playoffs.

How do you propose to get into an FBS conference when none of the other Dakota schools have been successful? I'd venture a guess that two of the other schools might have slightly better credentials than we have and no luck. I'll grant you that it appears SDSU hasn't tried very hard either to move up though

I don't think anything or anyone could have kept Golladay here. He had the FBS mindset and knew he was good enough to have a shot at the pros. I never blamed Bubba for Kenny leaving. IIRC he announced for NIU within days of Muss being gone so the long search made no difference.

Trust but Verify. We'll see how things go by the end of the season.

The Bison seem to move their coaches on to FBS and the NFL, even the ones they didn't want any more. We move our coaches on to "Senior Positions". That says a lot about the state of the program.

Congratulations Reformed Gopher.

Owen McLaughlin. Have a safe trip this weekend SFB.

trump administration has changed the classification again on college athletes and they are no longer considered employees like they were under a Biden administration directive. Definitely a step backwards for some people. So, are college athletes now considered slaves or just indentured servants? https://www.yahoo.com/news/trump-administration-rescinds-nlrb-memorandum-213349022.html

Way too many far rightwing phony Christians in ND to ever get gambling expanded. I'm a devout Christian but have no opposition to controlled gambling. The only reference to gambling in the Bible is a neutral reference to Roman soldiers casting lots for Christ's clothing after his crucifixion.

You know, I laughed when someone said that during football season and we had like 5 games left to play.

Well Bubba said something like it was all noise and he wasn't paying attention to it. A week later he was gone.

It will be interesting to see how the recruiting battles play out in the next 9 months. Anyone can offer a high end recruit. The trick is to get them over other big name schools, especially the ones with FBS offers. I think we are on the right path but the turnaround isn't going to happen overnight.

Saw this online last night. Carson Wentz played a familiar role at the Super Bowl. Once again he stood on the sidelines while a great Eagles quarterback won the game. (I don't care who doesn't like that remark, it's funny!)

I'm thinking it's better to buyout Berry now and get it over with. Rip off the bandaid. At least recruits will know who they are dealing with

With football I've always heard that it was fatal to have a lame duck coach when it came to recruiting. Wouldn't hockey be the same way? Wasn't that Chaves excuse for always giving Bubba an undeserved extension?

I was just going to post the exact same thing. Berry will win just enough to keep going and Chaves won't do anything. I'm sure it won't take much because he can't afford another $450,000 on top of Bubba's $750,000.

If he's that easily influenced, we have problems.
