NDSU to the FBS always. In all ways.
Also not too impressed with Bresciani.

Scrooge-"Are there no prisons?". "Plenty of prisons..."
Scrooge-"And the Union workhouses." . "Are they still in operation?". "Both very busy, sir..."

Continental Resources one of the largest if not the largest in ND went from about a high of $79 in Apr 14 to a low of about $17 in Feb 15, I would call that the toilet when they put through the tax cut it has rebounded now to $43 today. The tax cut didn't bring it back though but their shares were in the toilet when it was passed.
The thing is even if we hadn't cut taxes it would not be helping us all that much now as it would only add about 4% to our budget, It wouldn't save higher Ed, it wouldn't save property taxes, it wouldn't save health and human services, it wouldn't save any other group or entity that wants money right now. It is a very small drop in the bucket but everyone points to it being a huge gusher flowing money in and the savior to all our problems. Don't get me wrong I think the cut was stupid and how it was done even worse but in reality its not that big of a deal to the bottom line.
It is far from insignificant.
It dropped the tax 1.5%.
A million barrels a day at $40 is $220 million per year in tax revenue lost.

Real hypocrisy here. Complain about NDSU nursing program and their rent rate and then try to force a below market deal.
Heard UND has a golf course for swap/sale. Maybe force a sale to Sanford to replace Altru.
I think that one reason the legislature tried to pass the pornography device bill was so that we wouldn't know what a dirty mother f#cker looks like.
