    Vikings sign Marquis Hamilton

    Congrats to Marquis. Hopefully he can make the team. His size and speed could provide him with a home on special teams. Here's what Vikings VP of Player Personnel Rick Spielman said in the article about Marquis: “Marquis is a big wide receiver with good size who showed a good ability...

    Additional anti-virus required ?

    I would think either of those would be acceptable, although I would pick Kaspersky. Do not run more than one anti-virus program at once. There is a good chance they could clash. I have been using Bitdefender for the last few years and don't have many complaints. It doesn't run too heavy...

    coaching experience

    I agree with the original poster that coaching experience is a bit overrated. Hoiberg's lack of coaching experience does not mean that he cannot coach. What it means is that we are taking a significant risk on a relatively unknown commodity. Based on everything I've heard, it appears that...

    NOW CONFIRMED: Nurse will not be on staff

    I totally agree with this. Having only one experienced college recruiter on the staff would not be a good thing. As much as this may be bad for some former Cyclone greats, it is probably in the best interests of the program (although that probably depends on who is finally hired).

    The Mayor's Contract

    I would like to think it will be on the lower end with incentives built in for on-the-court success. Something like 500-600k for five years, with the potential for it to get around a million a year if he produces wins.

    Are we better off with FH than GM?

    Yes. That was easy...

    What do you think of the Hoiberg hire (If true)

    I voted the "would not have hired" option, but definitely will support Hoiberg and give him the benefit of the doubt. I am somewhat concerned that the decision was made so quickly. If 15+ prospects had inquired about the position, I think I would have weighed my options very carefully...

    Ames Tribune: Thompson has fielded 15 calls from coaches

    Why are coaches contacting Thompson rather than Pollard?

    Law School

    Also not bad advice. The lawyers who make a lot of money work long hours. New associates that make a lot of money work exceptionally long hours under rather high-pressure conditions. Figure out what you want to do with your law degree before deciding to go to law school. Find someone who...

    Law School

    Re: LSAT Preparation Recommendation Very good advice. I believe my studies in philosophy were excellent preparation for the LSAT. Half of the LSAT is "logical reasoning" or something like that. It was very intuitive to me after studying philosophy.

    Reggie to the Bengals

    Good for him. Congrats Reggie.

    NFL: **** NFL draft thread *****

    I like Gerhart, but I'm not sure if I like the trade very much. Giving up their 3rd round pick to move up 11 (I think?) spots is, as many have described, pretty steep.

    NFL: Vikings Fans, you want Clausen?

    Totally agree. The Vikings will not win a Superbowl with Jackson at the helm.

    NFL: **** NFL draft thread *****

    A great trade for the Vikings IMO. They move back 3 picks and pick up a 4th rounder. Indy and St. Louis are not going take a QB. I wouldn't be surprised if Clausen is still there at that spot. If they plan to take Mays, he will likely still be there too. Edit: Forgot about New Orleans...

    NFL: **** NFL draft thread *****

    Agree. I like the Vikings prospects at this point.

    NCAA Approves Taunting, Eye Black Rule Changes for Football

    Re: New High Stepping, Taunting Rule Will Cost You Points!! Totally agree. If the refs can start taking points off the board for something so subjective, I think it will cause more harm and controversy than it is worth.

    Who has writen a letter or email to Pollard?

    Translation: 1. McDermott will be fired after next season if he doesn't produce some wins. 2. There are not a lot of good coaching candidates available. 3. It costs too much to fire him now.

    Whitney Williams transferring

    I'm not looking so much for farther back as farther in the future. I only see Floyd-era numbers in that spreadsheet. A lot of time has elapsed since then.

    Whitney Williams transferring

    I would love to see something like this over a longer time frame, and including McDermott's tenure here. Preferably in another thread. If anyone is feeling overly ambitious, there's a task for you.
