  1. Whether it was a tweet or a headline is a meaningless semantic point. The inference is clearly that UND as an institution undervalues female coaching candidates, which may or may not be true. But the click-bait statistic without more information could be perceived as irresponsible. The wholly false premise is that there is a 'right' number of female head coaches. A close second is that zero female head coaches is per se bad or evidence of discrimination.
  2. Yet, if the distribution among D1 schools happens to show a significant number with say, 1 or 2, the statistical relevance of having zero is far less than if the data shows otherwise. It's a sensational headline, to be sure, and the writer/editor should at least be asking themselves whether more information would help the reader. That's responsible journalism.
  3. Kind of like when .38 Special opened John Lennon.
  4. Puddle of Mudd and Saliva on the same stage...should have been called the "Bring a Mop Tour."
  5. Didn't know he was banned, but things have been relatively quiet around here of late. The unwritten rule is (has to be?) that if you're going to dredge up a thread that's been dormant for 2-3 years or longer (or much longer, in Moser's case), the relevance of your bump had better be damned obvious from your post or be adequately explained. I tend to view--and appreciate--this site as being reasonably free of non-sequiturs and half-baked conspiracy theories; Moser was all over the freaking map.
  6. Well, it's gotta be either improved irrigation/drainage, or a new Chipotle.
  7. Bye, bye, Sears. http://www.grandforksherald.com/business/retail/4454050-grand-forks-sears-location-close-september The future of Columbia Mall is dim. Two anchors vacant, food court non-existent. So, does Kmart relocate, or does it continue to wither and die over at the "other" mall?
  8. But in fairness to the trees, barring some horrible latent disease or imminent threat of hazard by falling limbs, it is an embarrassingly lazy way to re-pave a parking lot. How hard would it have been to reconstruct the lot and retain the natural break with the mature trees shading pedestrians and offering some aesthetic benefits? Does the U not wish to provide safe transit for walkers to and from the old med school?
  9. You're insane. Art is infinitely subjective. There can be no consensus.
  10. Birds have feathers. They don't wear them. However, if UND was the Molting Hawks, and the feathers simply got stuck there on the way down...
  11. OPEN LETTER TO ALL PROSPECTIVE DONORS TO THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH DAKOTA: Don't. Signed, Everyone here except @Frozen4sioux (Patiently waiting for donations to immediately drop to zero, in awe of own power.)
  12. You do realize, you just called a fellow Sioux fan an "arrogant ashole (sic)" because you believe that some donor somewhere might give so much as a single flying flip about what is said about them anonymously on some sports board. Wow. Think about that for a minute.
  13. I don't think that the ultra-rich are known for their thin skin. But just to be safe, I will lead the charge to say "F*** off, lying Engelstads, and take your stinking money back to the desert. UND don't need you no mo'."
  14. I know it's not universally loved on this board, but I'd settle for Lee Ann Chin.
  15. That court adjourned a long time ago.
  16. You mean, like giving the Engelstad family a pass forever and refusing to acknowledge even the possibility that they may be acting out of self-interest rather than the best interests of UND?
  17. A portrait of a scantily clad Kris Engelstad McGarry laying on a sofa.
  18. Finally, some semblance of balanced reporting. http://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/4446387-emails-show-kennedy-engelstad-feud-centered-logo-betty (LOLZ - The Herald got scooped by Rob Port.)
  19. http://undnews.areavoices.com/2018/05/15/und-vp-for-research-eyes-december-retirement/
  20. Nominee for best 'your mom' post of 2018.
  21. I think that viewpoint had already been made clear. 25 pages ago.
