I also had a frosty, finely brewed Glueck Golden Light to mark the milestone.

KVLY had a mention of it on their sports at 10 last night. After the sports report one of the news anchors said something like, "It feels like the transition just started yesterday." I just about choked on my frosty, finely brewed Glueck Golden Light (which, in hindsight, would have happened anyway...). It feels like its been 10 years.

The Forum is running a set of articles on the transition:

D-I reclassification period lacked its typical pitfalls (http://www.in-forum.com/articles/index.cfm?id=206504)

“I challenge someone to find somebody who has done it better,” men’s basketball coach Saul Phillips said of the reclassification.

I remember the day it was announced...I was definitely one of the initial skeptics.

Amazing, the whole process athletics, academics, opportunities. The campus has really gone out and got itself.
