  1. AG wasn't tipped off to investigate, he was asked to investigate by legislative counsel after they were told by the university system that emails subject to an open records request were deleted. Nothing fishy about that. Since we're all grasping at straws with limited information here, I'll give my idea of what plausibly occurred. - Legislator receives tip about Bresciani orchestrating revolt against Shirvani through email (which would be dumb seeing as they know their emails are public, but is certainly possible). The tip may have come from the university system office who was monitoring Bresciani's email (not likely) or it may have come from an individual Bresciani was attempting to conspire with, which is far more likely (see Pres. Coston of DSU, who received a glowing review from Shirvani). - Legislator goes through Bresciani emails looking for a certain email on a certain date that would make him look bad but doesn't find it. Another possibility is the legislator (or whoever was reviewing the emails) saw messages in certain presidents emails which weren't included in the emails provided by Bresciani. - Legislator asks university system office if Bresciani emails were deleted. - University system office IT says they can see 4 GB of data was deleted in the 2 weeks leading up to the open records request, but they can no longer see what that 4GB is because it was deleted more than 2 weeks ago so it has likely been purged from the system. - University system lawyer asks how many emails could be contained in 4GB of data. IT people tell her up to 45000 emails (but depending on size and attachments, should be far less). - University system lawyer isn't smart and tells legislator and media that Bresciani deleted 45,000 emails when the number is likely far smaller. Media jump on this and add their own slant and errors to the story (45000 deleted in 1 day rather than over a 2 week period) in addition to the errors made by the system office lawyer. - IT people tell lawyer she misstated the number of emails and it would be more accurate for her to say 4 gigs of data, but she's too proud/afraid to admit a mistake to the media, especially after the story has blown up. - A story that shouldn't be that big (Bresciani deletes a couple hundred emails over a 2-week period which may or may not have been related to an open records request filed after the emails were deleted) becomes very large (Bresciani intentionally deletes 45000 emails in a single sitting to avoid open records request!). - Bresciani, like a rat backed into a corner, fights back and tries to deflect and turn the story into "The University System Office, under the evil Chancellor Hamid "Osama" Shirvani, has hacked my emails in an attempt to undermine my management of the great ND State!!" This leads me to believe something was probably contained in those emails which were deleted and Bresciani doesn't want people to dig any deeper. So there's my stab at what may have happened. Chances are 70% of what I said is incorrect, but hey, this is a sports message board talking political assassinations and conspiracies so flame away. Often times in these situations, there are sprinklings of truth which are covered up by a bunch of exaggerations and outright lies.
  2. Buy on the defense being better. I don't know how they could be worse.
  3. I'd guess Skarphol is behind the request.
  4. I could easily see where this is being blown out of proportion if it's even true that emails were deleted. If there was an email chain of 20 emails, it's not uncommon for the first 19 to be deleted, as all the information would still be included in that 20th email. This is often done to save space and make things easier to follow. Also, the 45,000 number seems a bit far-fetched unless bresciani just deleted ALL of his emails.
  5. Were there really 2 Austin Roberts or was one of these an error?
  6. His second ring was lodged in the head of some guy he put in a coma, completely unprovoked
  7. Thousands as of 5 pm yesterday. They were still pretty disorganized at the site where they were putting all of them.
  8. That's similar to UND's!!! (if paying tuition on credit card)
  9. Either turn them into a bench for around the fire pit, anchor them on the deck, or anchor them to a wall in the man-cave/basement.
  10. They'd still be trying to play hockey in Alabama though.......
  11. http://forum.calgarypuck.com/showthread.php?t=128486 Calgary fan forum thread on Knight trade. Seems like most of them are happy with the move.
  12. Not sure if this is the right thread for it, but the ND economy is doing quite well (for those of you who are living under a rock and don't already know). http://www.grandforksherald.com/event/article/id/266398/ Also, those numbers don't appear to include the $$ stashed away in multiple reserve funds.
  13. 95% of car salesmen are crooks. Doesn't change when you leave Grand Forks. That being said, the ND economy has made cars more expensive here compared to many dealerships in the cities.
  14. Mechanic or autobody? Anderson Bros is good for autobody. They're on North Washington, north of Home of Economy and kind of close to the Bronze Boot building.
  15. Dom Izzo‏@DomIzzoWDAY37m @SiouxFootball That's a good call; there's a couple openings still in '15 and '17 to fit my theory no? Izzo is predicting UND vs ndsu. But I guess he always makes that prediction whenever any future scheduling convo starts up. Edit: Argh, Darell beat me to it....
  16. I'll believe that when my sh*t turns purple and smells like rainbow sherbet.

    Shirvani

    All they'll need to do is read Shirvani's performance evaluations, multiple audit reports, and the system risk assessment reports that have been done over the past several years and then ask how the issues identified have been/are being addressed.

    Shirvani

    To be fair, they helped to create the circumstances under which the review was done.

    Shirvani

    Those 3 schools (in addition to several/all of the other 8) deserve plenty of criticism in certain areas. I thought many of his points were fair, although they came across a bit harsh (that's his style and one of the reasons he will be gone soon). Kelly and the others should attempt to use them constructively rather than attempt to discredit everything like they usually do.
  20. Actually he had stolen a street sign and ran from the cops into an apartment building. The cops knew who he was and were able to get one of his friends to convince him to come out. As to your statement about second thoughts regarding the fight, he still put himself in that situation. Not saying he deserves to be charged with assault, but he's certainly not an innocent victim in this.
