USTBench

Youngstown would have that coveted "quality loss"

He had 7 carries last Saturday. Might be considered an "athlete" as opposed to a true RB, but it's a fair description.

If UND beats USD on Saturday, it's going to be interesting to see how UND/NDSU go at each other on the 19th. UND is not a playoff lock and is going to sell-out physically, conceivably going into the playoffs. Could be detrimental in the 1st round.

Lol, yikes. Up there with the "NDSU should join the (insert P5 conference)" folks.

Don't worry, I'm pouring lots of cold water on the fellas over on our "fan board (Slack)". Still happy for us and hope the PFL is a pit stop.

I've had my fair share of conversations with him, he seems extremely happy where he is, and does not seem to be a big fan of living in ND (despite his wife being from Fargo), and is adamant about the quality of ND HS football (thinks it sucks). It would seem he wants push UST into the MVFC someday. I think UND purusuing him would be a dead-end, considering he walks on water at UST and gets paid quite well.

Kevin Bullis is fortunate to have had Lance Leipold build that program into what it is and ride in on the shoulder of a giant, and Vince Kehres is a GIANT no from me. Mount Union is nowhere near what it was under his dad, he doesn't recruit nearly as well, coach as well, and his program gets a free pass to the semifinals in a notoriously weak region every year, where they're now getting exposed by NCC, UMHB and UWW.

We'll give you his OC. Best we can do.

The burden of proof is much higher in a criminal trial: more likely than not v. beyond a reasonable doubt. In District Court in ND (unless a bench trial is specifically requested) the judge is NOT the decision maker as to the facts, or as to guilt, the jury is. The judge only interprets the law. Having been in both situations, an administrative hearing is much more akin to a municipal trial on a low level misdemeanor or a traffic violation, where the determiner of the law and the facts is the same person, which most people would agree is not the appropriate way to adjudicate a sex crime. This is why anything worse than a B Misdemeanor in ND is prosecuted in District Court. I'm not saying administrative hearings don't have their place, they certainly do. Especially in situations such as these, where there might not be enough evidence to prosecute someone per se, but the alleged victim doesn't feel safe on campus and would like a voice. That said, banning someone from campus for 5 years is a big step in-and-of-itself, and there should be a higher burden of proof and impartial tribunal (instead of a solitary hearing officer) for sex assault claims in Title IX hearings. The accused should also have the right to an attorney provided at University expense, especially considering there are CVIC advocates who work within UND's Title IX office (I believe they should be a separate entity, and merely help facilitate the investigation). But, again, it's not a court of law.

This. I feel for anyone who may have been a victim, but there has been a lot of confusing Title IX hearings with what happens in a criminal prosecution. There is a much higher burden of proof in a criminal prosecution. Additionally, it's easy to criticize the University of North Dakota, but the details of Title IX investigations are not made available for public consumption for good reason. In 2006 the names of 3 high profile Duke athletes (who actually were criminally prosecuted (wrongfully)), were drug through the mud by Duke faculty. Duke ended up settling with those young men for $60 million. Weah has not been charged with a crime, and most likely (at least at the time) had a much higher earning potential as an athlete than 3 lacrosse players. Add to it the optics of a young black man, being accused of a sex crime in lily white Grand Forks, North Dakota, and it could have been a 3 ring circus with a potential for huge financial ramifications for UND. I think UND handled it appropriately. Weah, unfortunately, chose the path of very public revisionist history, and it royally backfired.

I watched the Mo State fans pedestalize this kid and kind of felt bad for them. 5 minutes on this message board, or researching him on social media, could've saved their program a lot of egg on the face.

Idaho and Northern Iowa managed to add some natural light to their facilities, and basically had the same excuse not to. There's always going to be a facility war in the MVFC, adapt or die.

They're all felons on cocaine?

Haha. Not dropping $8 on a Natty Light or whatever it costs. More than okay with their beer selectch. Could use a window or two, though.

Natural light.

Sir...this is a Red Pepper.

The register of actions on the Supreme Court website has a DOB of 1999. So, either 23 or soon to be.

"I think they had something that we didn't have," Weah said. "It was a winning mentality and they wanted it more than the team I was playing for." Good lord, man.

This looks like the beginnings of a very good UND basketball team. This will be the 3rd year in a row I have said this.

Who cares? It's fun, meaningful football. Rather watch a team scratch and claw to make a quarterfinal than sleepwalk through the Meineke Car Care Bowl. And at some point, there will be an upset.

You can say that about a lot of levels of college football. Mount Union was impossible to beat until UW-Whitewater and UMHB came along. There has been decent runs in DII with North Alabama, NWMSU and GVSU. FCS...well, there's that. And FBS has Bama as the perennial team to beat, but every few years someone figures it out. I don't think it would be a joke and 12 teams would make the playoff way more meaningful and inclusive. Who doesn't love an underdog? loved seeing Cincinnati get a chance, and honestly, they didn't fair any worse than other P5 schools or Notre Dame in years past. That said, Izzo calling UND fans "rubes" is pretty rich. They've never played a full FBS schedule. They'd fair okay in the Mountain West, but let's not get ahead of ourselves here.

I wonder if Chappell has any quick twitch left?

LOL I'm no compliance official (or his probations officer) but it seems like a longshot.

Fibber. He didn't have a warrant until he missed court the other day. Bummer. Anyway, I did post about UST potentially going D1 and that was rejected as a possibility as they were D3 (this post must have been on a throw away account a long time ago, as I don't see it anymore). So, I don't really post based on conjecture. I did also opine on the black curtains at the NDSU game being idiotic.
