Just imagine how good T.J. would have been with 22 games in the USHL.

Sorry. I should have known. Maybe you could give us a sign. Or even more obvious...

It's not a question of what we want. It's what I understand is typically done with sex offenders in prisons. Although this blog describes prison life in England from a convict's point of view, it shows that being treated as a "vulnerable prisoner" isn't exactly a bed of roses. I imagine that it's preferable to being beaten to death with a broom handle by another prisoner (i.e. Jeffrey Dahmer).

He's already been tried and found guilty in federal court.

Not exactly. For example, even though I'm an Irish-Scandinavian-American and I object to the Notre Dame Fighting Irish and schools that use the name "Vikings" for their sports teams, the NCAA doesn't care if my ancestors are portrayed in a cartoonish, stereotypical manner. And even though I sent a letter to Myles Brand objecting to the NCAA being located in Indianapolis, Indiana, the organization's business relationship with Pontiac and its glorification Teddy Roosevelt - a noted purveyor of anti-Indian hate speech - my complaints have fallen on deaf ears. Quite obviously, some people are more equal than others.

From KLFY TV: ULM's new Warhawk sideline mascot: "Ace" I wonder how real aces will like being portrayed in this stereotypical manner?

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that all prisoners found guilty of sex-related offenses are routinely segregated from the prison population. Other prisoners tend to kill them if given the opportunity.

Congratulations and good luck to NDSU and all the Bison faithful.

T.J. played 11 games for the USHL Sioux Falls Stampede his senior year of high school.

...and grow a proper playoff beard.

...we spoke and wrote the King's English properly. That's what you were going to say, right?

Translation, please.

Here's a link to the closing arguments made by the prosecution and the defense.

That headline on the front page of the Herald had me going until I read the rest of the story.

I have.

But it seems that the band wants to divorce The Tree.

Here's a story from the St. Paul Pioneer Press about the closing statements: Prosecutor urges jury to hear Dru's voice in blood evidence

My, what a star-studded cast.

Are you saying that Myles "Leprechauns are not people" Brand is not capable of being fair?

I'm not sure about this one. Just think of how much his gas mileage would suffer. Plus, he'd have to worry about getting acid rain all over himself.

I hope they remember to say nice things about Pontiac and Teddy Roosevelt.

No, that's not correct. You need to read this post from above. No, you don't understand. If it's a state case, then Rodriguez can't receive the death penalty.

From the SF Chronicle article: Apparently being a PC school with a PC mascot doesn't guarantee that a school will follow this NCAA principle:
