If this had been Aaron Rodgers and Jordy Nelson, Packer fans would want them on Mount Rushmore. So yes, we will celebrate it and be excited about it. Deal with it.

That's because the sports media had an obsession with Favre, Reggie White and the whole Packers franchise. And I don't think betting lines mean all that much when it comes to performance on the field.

1969 was the last year before the merger, so technically, the Vikings were NFL Champions and the Chiefs were AFL Champions. Then the Chiefs beat the Vikings in the AFL-NFL World Championship Game (which is what it was called back then).

I'll just leave this here!!! #SKOL

If you guys want to get your royal a$$es kissed, it ain't happening on this forum. Take the "My Oh My" show back to Bisonville, please. Thank you. (Not) The Management.

Okay, AZSioux started the series thread. I hope everyone is happy. Need at least 3 points this weekend and I don't care how they get them. The NCHC is ripe for the taking and we need to start making a push NOW.

Not this walking boot crap again! I am not very optimistic for next weekend @ Duluth.

I am pleasantly surprised. Good work by the MBB team.

Must sweep for PWR and momentum purposes.

You should have added 6. Go back to Division II. It makes about as much sense as the rest of your post. #noneatall

Serious question: Would Mannausau end up being RT 2.0? A lot of people didn't care for RT as athletic director.

I think it comes down to either this guy or the WMU guy.

I watched Slap Shot 2 over the holidays. Not bad in the world of sequels.

Some people think the WMU guy has been there too long. Others complain that Elliot hasn't been at one job long enough. Obviously, you can't have it both ways. So do we look for someone in the middle of the spectrum?

Okay, that is fair.

Assuming your point is correct, the next AD has to resist the temptation to give out multi-year contract extensions like candy. It backfired with Mussman and it is backfiring with Jones right now.

My biggest problem with the characterization of private financing as "spending other people's money" is that nobody is forcing these people to write checks. They do it because they want to. If they don't want to fund something, they don't have to. The key word is "voluntary".

Private fundraising is becoming the biggest funding source for intercollegiate athletics. How do you think the IPF was funded? The ND Legislature? I don't think so. If you are against raising private funds to pay for stuff like this, then you don't have a problem with me. You have a problem with the funding model for intercollegiate athletics in general. And this thread isn't about MBB, it's about the AD position. And whomever gets hired will have to ask for "other people's money" to help us reach our goals as an athletic department. I return everyone to their regularly scheduled speculating.

Careful, you'll be accused of "spending other people's money".

Maybe Mike M. can have that job?

Calm down, it was a stupid joke. I am open to internal candidates for anything; I just don't think Mike is the right choice for this job compared to the other applicants.

And how functional is that title?

Well, at least he isn't promoting a candidate from Detroit Lakes!

Very true. Geography makes it more doable in the east; not so much in the west.
