For the right price, I'm available to teach PR 101, Media Relations 101 and Journalism 101. I can think of quite a few people who would benefit from more education in those areas.

Wasn't it the Thrashers who played the exhibition at the Ralph and didn't bring Hrkac?

Is it just me or do Dave Hakstol and Rick Astley look like they could be related?

I haven't had to unleash the dog for a while, but this thread is the ideal place to do it.

A sports law blogger tries to make sense of Judge Jahnke's sealed records order here.

Through your public posts and your private messages to me, you and fs1 have me 100 percent convinced me that you are true "insiders." You obviously had information about Hakstol's contract negotiations that very few people would know, which means that you have a source intimately connected to UND's hockey program. Does your source know how you are using the information that he provides? Does he know that the two of you are spreading this information around the Internet in public and private messages? Does he know that you're sharing it with at least one known "journalist"? The answers to these questions not only tell us a great deal about you, but they also tell us a great deal about your source.

That does absolutely nothing to refute my point that negotiations aren't called off until both sides stop negotiating. If both sides had stopped negotiating, Hakstol wouldn't have a contract, would he?

If the contract talks had ended, then there would be no contract. Right? My position on this issue from the very beginning was that if Hakstol wanted to stay at UND and UND wanted him to stay, a contract would be signed.

Could you draw me a picture showing how it was that Hakstol signed a new contract after negotiations ended? The way I see it, for negotiations to be over, the two sides negotiating (i.e. Hakstol and UND) both have to stop negotiating. Obviously, that didn't happen. The e-mail published by the Herald shows that Hakstol wanted to stop negotiating after he received an unacceptable offer from Buning. That result wasn't acceptable to UND's administration, which then stepped in and came up with a better offer. So while Hakstol may very well have thought that negotiations were over until after hockey season, they weren't. The fact that he signed a new contract before the season started proves it.

That's why Dale threw on fourth down. He wasn't sure we could hold them under 21 in the last minute.

I was hoping a Bison fan would show up to give us his assessment of tonight's game. Now I can go to bed.

Thanks, Nostradamus.

At least we didn't run up the score.

That it makes you thirsty?

So you sprang for the extra-long straw attachment?

How many wine casks does it hold?

I wonder if WWU will try another on-side kick.

Sure. Just don't call anyone a little monkey.

Way to ruin my Dandy Don moment.

Turn out the lights...

Dressler is amazing. Chapell is amazing. The offensive line is amazing.

Great play by Alexander. I could hear the hit over the radio!

Great drive to start the half. Now let's hope the defense has made some good adjustments.
