Well, Kennedy's a no-good Republican, so, yea...

There are those moments in your young life that you never forget: Your first day of kindergarten Your first crush Senior Prom Your first day of college And your first visit to Whiteys

It's Johns Hopkins.

So, on one side of the coin, Michigan State will ALWAYS be second-fiddle to Michigan... ...but on the other side, North Dakota can flip the script on NDSU?

That could also be labeled "2017 season expectations" and "2017 actual season results."

Hey, Midwestern Hawk, it's 2017. Find a football recruit for next year's freshman class who would even know that Nick Saban used to coach at Michigan State. "As soon as things get going?" The Harbaugh mystique is already wearing off thanks to losses to Michigan State and THE Ohio State University. The "flagship" argument is irrelevant.

I'm sure that Michigan State feels real bad about going 8-3 in their last 11 games over "flagship" Michigan in football and is the better of the two schools in terms of men's basketball. #ButWe'reTheFlagshipSchool

Rhode Island? LOL! Yea, and I'm really in the mafia, too. You do know that we're on the same team, right?

If there was a magic fix-it, don't you think places like Duke, Kentucky, Arizona, and Indiana would have figured out how to make themselves football schools by now? NDSU didn't wind up in the position they are in now by accident. UND has been playing catch-up ever since the big "D1" announcement by Fargo U. I also recently asked a local high school recruit whom NDSU has been scoping out if he's considered the University of North Dakota at all. His response? "WHO?"

Well, how much money did you win picking OSU to win the FBS title that year after their first two QB's went down? Did you also predict him heading to the NFL before those two games or after?

Some third-string QB scrub won a national title for Ohio State just a couple of seasons ago...

No FSN for the big-city folks?

Your head is stuck in the sand if you think UND has ignored football or basketball lately.

I don't know what the solution is. If I did, I'd be a highly-paid consultant at Vanderbilt, Indiana, Minnesota, Mississippi State, Arizona, Kentucky, or some other school trying to do the exact same thing - become a college football powerhouse name.

Not all of his teams made Frozen Fours... The fact of the matter is that UND football has become almost irrelevant in the discussion of D1 football in the state. And that's an image problem that will not be fixed overnight. I don't care if the excuse is injuries or the Alerus imploding...another NDSU national title this season will only add to the perception.

Says the guy who snarked on Hakstol for not winning national hockey championships when the same injury bug hit his teams, but I digress...

LOL is right. UND whines and complains. Meanwhile, NDSU replaces injured starters with all-stars - as freshmen. recruiting, Recruiting, RECRUITING! http://www.inforum.com/sports/4343921-freshman-cox-introduced-himself-starting-lineup-against-youngstown

Who are the skinny guys in the middle?

If the current bid is more than 50 cents...it's too much.

Tha whole bit with Pat Terrell was hilarious.

So then I said, "Wilbur, you couldn't start in goal for Mishawaka Junior College and this is the University of North Dakota..."

What do you consider the championship "round?" i don't think anyone is arguing that hockey is more popular than football.

Koronis might not be great, but that's got SE Asian fake written all over it!
