No one has an issue with pranks.  If they're hanging a banner or whatever, big deal.  But the reports all say they were trying to remove lettering from the sign in the front of the building (see below).  That's vandalism and is an actual crime.  Too bad you can't see it as such.

My fault I didnt realize he was stupid enough to destroy property. In that case its no longer a prank. But I would still laugh as the idea is funny.

Its always been a rivalry? That has always been my stance. Why are you shocked?

 

 

I'll back you on this.  You've always said UND is the rival. 

 

Also, I figured out that the young men in trouble can easily get that two page paper written. As always, they'll just hire a UND student to do it for them...  :whistling:

Can't afford one, they'll have to go the high school route.

I wonder what would happen if you'd drop those two essays into something like Grammarly.com (a free plagarism detection and grammar checking website for teachers)?

 

I wonder if anyone has done that ...  :whistling:

I have spent the weekend reading essays written by 6th grade students, and although the topics are different, the final quality of these two sets of essays are different in an important way.  I don't consider a recitation of statistics from a web site to pass as adequate for a 6th grade essay, and I certainly would not consider it as adequate coming from a university student.

It's all good.

 

Remember, the world needs ditchdiggers too.

I wonder what set off the plagiarism detector ... in each paper.

Though no sources are cited, Ogdahl’s essay appears to draw heavily from Wikipedia, with some sentences only slightly rearranged or reworded.

 

Mason’s essay reads more or less like a Wikipedia article, listing off mundane facts about UND, though he stops short of copying and pasting, as Christofferson had warned against.
