Not sure if this has been talked about, but did Concordia lose their whole darn coaching staff? Any insight on that? As an old ole I remember hearing about coach kostish up at moorhead. Gotta be a tough loss for the Cobblers.
I'm not sure, here is their current page of their website
http://concordiamn.prestosports.com/sports/fball/coaches/index
As of now they're on DOUBLE SECRET Probation!

Maybe I should apply.  Olsons seem to be in high demand in the Fargo-Moorhead area right now.  https://www.inforum.com/sports/football/978850-Luke-makes-it-a-daily-double-of-Olsons-on-Bison-football-staff

Every time I think I have my better half convinced to make a journey to Oz, a story like this pops up on social media.  She immediately shoves her phone in my face to show me, and says "no way in HELL".   :o ::)

Ha!  The beloved huntsman spider.  They don't spin webs, instead they sneak around and hunt prey.  Mrs Oz absolutely hates them and if I ever want to go full Saudi Arabia then I need only show her this video and she'll never get in a car again.

I have two great huntsman stories that involve her.  In one we were driving down the freeway in a just-picked-up rental on vacation when a huntsman about 3/4's the size of the one in the video climbed up out of the vent in front of her as a passenger, scuttled across the window and climbed back down into the vent in front of me driving.  On the inside of the car.  Her fear reactions (paralysed then screaming hysterically then spasmodically trying to open the door on a freeway-bound car) were hilarious (if not a little dangerous).

The other was one that occurred when she was alone shopping at the local shops.  She's walking down the sidewalk and sees a huge (as she relays it, four inches across) huntsman slowly climbing up a shop window.  She steps forward to have a close look, thinking the glass can protect her and help her overcome her uncontrollable fear of those beasts.  As she's in tight getting a really good look she realises she's looking at the behemoth's back, not it's belly.  She claims she had her face about one foot away from the monster when she realised what was really going on.  She nearly collapsed on the spot.


I still bring both up and chuckle.  She gets pretty angry when I do.  :)

All normal behaviour breaks down when eight-legged, furry arachnids scamper across the wall.  Primal instinct kicks in.

Augsburg is killing it at the wrestling championships.  They have almost lapped the competition, including the Iowa sides, after just the first two rounds.

I can't believe in saying this, but go Auggie Tech!

SCSU currently sits atop the standings of the D2 wrestling tournament, too.  There is some good wrestling in the state!

The Gophers host the B1G tournament today and tomorrow.  Fingers crossed for a big performance by Gable Steveson!
Here's my little Duff with Gable a few weeks ago:

Mount Union is tougher than I thought.  Ohio/Pennsylvania are wrestling hotbeds, though.

Beat me to it art76. Sadly, this is the last year as this guy is hanging it up. Hopefully someone will pick up the stick in the "Land of 10,000 Locks" and keep it rolling.

Here's a Barry Melrose feature on the guy who has done this over the years:
