Teeder11 Posted May 20, 2022 Share Posted May 20, 2022 28 minutes ago, UND1983 said: McFeely tweeted about Trump roughly 20-30 times per week on average I would say. Just obsessed and weird. Literally ZERO tweets about Biden or anything that is wrong right now. ZERO. That should tell you all you need to know. The country is worse than it's been in a LONG time and crickets. Completely true. But if I may offer a modicum of defense for McFeely -- opinion columnists are not supposed to be balanced (or even truthful). He can think, write and espouse whatever he wants in this country of ours, short of harassment, libel, etc. On the flipside, you never saw Hennen, Shapiro, Cal Thomas, etc. share any serious criticisms of Trump or Bush when their administrations were at the helm. It's how it is. There is no excuse, however, for anyone getting facts completely wrong or just being careless with the facts -- that goes for both the news side journalists and opinion writers (right and left) alike. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Policy wise I think there was little to criticize and the country was doing great. Thumps mouth now that's another story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dialing around tonight and found a Midco rebroadcast of an early season game. Alex and Jake? Rock solid broadcast team! Alex has prospects above the regional cable level - CBS Sports likes him a lot so we're lucky to have him. Izzo? ugh! A basement Bison troll. Why would he EVER support UND? Technical coverage? A dozen cams with cooperation from the Ralph - tell me please where it lacks? OR better yet tell me what 'DAY would do better? They wouldn't and couldn't. Graphics, stats and flow with NO spelling errors?? What a shocker! Watch any episode of the local news to see how the kids these days can't proofread or spell to save their lives. Interesting story about Fighting Sioux Sports Properties and how that will affect the rfp???? How will that impact? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sicatoka Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 10 hours ago, gfhockey said: Surprised Miller or scjlossman did open records check het june 1st deadline The rights bids were sealed until "5/27/2022 2:00 PM CDT" per the RFPs. That was Friday of Memorial Day weekend. They maybe got opened Friday. Back in the office on Tue May 31 to actually see what's there, and don't forget it's first day back after a long weekend. So the unpacking of what is in the various packages started yesterday (Wed) is my assumption. And there's a lot to review based on the two RFPs that had that deadline (TV and radio were separate). Now, from the FOIA / open records perspective, you normally have 20 working days to respond. Even if the GFH put in a FOIA request at 2:01 pm Friday, UND has until June 24.

The Sicatoka Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 16 minutes ago, gfhockey said: A simple foia ... Have you ever dealt with one of those? 20 days. RFP went out 4/29. Twenty working days from that is 5/27. If you were looking to see who is communicating you'd wait a few days (a week?) after the RFP went out before putting in a FOIA. That would be the end of this week. Patience. Closing thought: The most likely FOIA requestors would be Miller or Schlossman. But as Miller said, a potential bidder signs his (their) paycheck(s). Do they want to rattle the apple cart or just let the process play out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
