    NDSU’s head coach Chris Klieman hired by K State.

    In defense of his first sentence, I did see some talking head yesterday say that they are discussing expanding the FBS playoff to 8 teams; I'd bet it happens within 5 years. Only problem I see is kids are starting to skip bowl games to protect their health for the draft, some of them might balk...

    NDSU’s head coach Chris Klieman hired by K State.

    No doubt college athletics spending is out of control but a lot of it comes from TV...no wonder cable is so expensive ;) Haven't done any research but I bet Klieman's contract isn't in the top 30 of FBS. I believe Fleck at MN got more, and that was 2 years ago.

    NDSU’s head coach Chris Klieman hired by K State.

    Not really a Bison fan (und grad); but he definitely ran a first-class program in Fargo so this is a well-deserved opportunity. Hope it works out for him; there will be plenty of skeptics as he's following a legend plus the fcs jump.

    Flasher question

    Have never had any issues with my hb fishing next to people with vexilars or marcums. Nor have they.

    snow depths...

    Next to nothing in Bismarck and what we do have is basically an icy crust. Looks like we will be all grass a week from now.

    Ice Fishing around Bismarck

    Beaver Bay on lake oahe is probably the most popular spot within a hour. I think you've said you're at Mary so that's an easy one to slip off to from that end of town. Never has been very good to me; but alas. Audubon obviously also popular. Otherwise, study the stocking reports in...

    Badlands mule deer

    My couch potato point of view is that the badlands just aren't vast enough. Happy thanksgiving all.

    2.7 Liter Ecoboost F150

    I've put about 30k on mine; no problems. Heater is as good as any vehicle I've had. I would estimate 18-19 mpg on the interstate although I've seen it as high as 24 over 300-400 mile trips. Pulls my 19ft boat no problem and gets around 12 mpg doing that. Does seem to slide around a little...

    A grim reminder

    Also the anniversary of the 1940 armistice day blizzard in MN, etc. My grandfather in Duluth was out duck hunting that day and said the migration ahead of it was spectacular, the drive home not so much. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1940_Armistice_Day_Blizzard

    Don’t know where to hunt

    While you're probably out of luck for this year as most everything other than the river will be frozen within a couple days; you'll need to head east at least 20 miles to get into much duck country. Google earth helps locate ducky areas. The river hosts immense numbers of canada geese once all...

    One Lucky Dude

    Injured Hawk, where to take it for help?

    I suppose they're so plentiful that the cost isn't justified. Eagles and snowy owls on the other hand they'll probably spend the $ (maybe the feds?).

    Ariens snow blower??

    Just to play devil's advocate; I bought a $500 MTD from Lowe's 9 years ago as a new homeowner and haven't had to do anything to it other than change oil and it's plenty good for my average size driveway.

    Plucked mallard recipe?

    350 for about 50 minutes for 2 mallards. Stuff inside of cavity w/celery, apple & onion. Coat outside with oil & some salt. Lay something underneath the ducks in the pan (grate, stalks of celery, etc) to keep them off the bottom. Seal pan with tin foil. Take tin foil off and broil for 5-10...

    Plucked mallard recipe?

    Fat plucked mallards are one of my favorite meals of the year. Similar recipe to many mentioned here; I'll try to track it down from family.

    Teacher gets fired for giving 0s

    Dress codes are tough to enforce anymore - have had parents cry "free speech" when kids are told to not wear bandanas, confederate flags, etc.

    Teacher gets fired for giving 0s

    Agree with you. I would also agree with the other side a bit that we can't just dump a kid on the scrap heap because they don't want to do their work. But there do have to be consequences so it's a tough dichotomy. Just curious as to when you retired? - - - Updated - - - No offense taken...
