Just wait until he gets canned…you'll change your tune then.

In other news, Sioux Shop employees seen marking UP prices on remaining Hakstol bobbleheads.

The BEST thing about this is that every media outlet is pulling and running with photos of Hak in SIOUX gear.

Never hurts to get an early start.

Hence, the damned if you do and damned if you don't nature of UND trying to be open and transparent. Somebody just has to try and scoop every step of the process. Anybody can do a WHOIS look-up, and spin any number of conspiracy theories about who is registering what and when. My advice to them, www.getalife.com. And if that one's taken, try www.getalifesports.com, www.UNDgetalife.com, www.getalife.net, www.getalife.us, or if all else fails, www.foffanddie.com.

To the contrary, as the overall quality of the air travel experience has tanked, many people are aching for an alternative. Amtrak needs to be improved, not further marginalized. And from the standpoint of QOL in Grand Forks, people deserve to have the best possible service.

Yes, but Salisbury has nonstop service to two hubs, PHL and CLT. Next!

http://www.grandforksherald.com/news/region/3743888-grand-forks-amtrak-lose-its-staffing-and-baggage-checking-services This may not mean much to anybody, but being relegated to unstaffed station status is freaking ridiculous. Grand Forks needs to wake the hell up. One airline and half-ass Amtrak service with no checked bags. Where is the Chamber of Commerce?

Thanks for dredging this up. Yes, the use of #UNDPROUD by UND should be reserved for UND student athletes who finish their UND studies and obtain a UND degree. Is this a difficult concept?

http://www.cnn.com/2015/04/23/entertainment/adam-sandler-movie-ridiculous-six-feat/index.html Admittedly tangential (there is a reference to the Redskins), but you just never know when and where these things might surface. Adam Sandler? Seriously??

You'd think the Taco Cannon would be ideally suited for the home of the Big Cocks...

In a few years, natty-less Hak can pen a tell-all autobiography entitled "Ermine Kampf."

Wow, Gramps. Most armchair sports fans can knock out 95% or more of those. Those are all either regional rivals or top flight national powers. Only one I can't pull out is RIT.

We could get in on the new Jurassic Park sequel. And University Station could in fact start selling Sinclair gas. Marketing tie-ins galore!

Fixed your post. Have you not seen UND's 4-year graduation rate?

"Avian ally"? Is that like a bird's friend or something?

For all the crap about amateurism and the long, slow, and agonizing death of college sports, I tend to think that universities should reserve their 'pride' for situations where the system actually works. Loyalty and commitment are best served by seeing students through to a degree and (almost always) exhausting years of eligibility. Athletic departments are strenghtened with each and every such outcome. Early departures cheapen the whole experience and fuel the criticism that college sports has lost its way.

Never said he was a failure in his own right; rather he was a failure for the University. The University took on a student-athlete who didn't fulfill the student-athlete bargain. What is there to be proud of? The University failed its academic mission, and by trumpeting its pride looks more like a professional athlete mill.

I'm okay with fans celebrating these type of achievements, as well as local media. Early departures are a fact of college sports; hell, not even Duke and Coach K can avoid them nowadays (3 freshmen gone within 10 days of winning a title). But does anybody else find it the least bit hypocritical or tacky for the University of North Dakota to tag this tweet #UNDProud? After all, isn't UND supposed to be concerned with academics, graduation rates, student-athletes, and all. Brock (a phenomenal success as a professional athlete) is more of a failure for the University than a success, no?

As you all know, I am outspoken on this subject and will not belabor it here. But is this true? Are schools really playing this card against UND? Any evidence, or is this just speculation? It would truly be a shame if there are recruits being swayed on such dubious grounds, and an even bigger shame that some grown-ups are sinking to that level.

But I thought God loves a Terrier...

Grassy knoll type stuff, right there.

Twilight Zone.

Y'all thinkin' I'm crazy?
