Lot of parity this year in the DAC... Even Dakota State got it's first-ever win last week over Dickinson State.

Yup BHSU is going to win the DAC with a freshman QB... The worst part is are backup is our All-American safety, who has played well when he has had to. Too bad our starter took ballroom dancing and was ruled ineligible. Other wise we would be giving USF a run for there money.

Wow. Whole-language reading and writing curriculum strikes again.

It's "our" as in "our starter, our backup and our All-American (no space after the hyphen) safety. Not "are" starter, etc. "Otherwise" is one word. And I assume you meant "who" not "ho".

I realize this isn't formal writing, but that's quite a number of errors in one almost unreadable paragraph. Thank heavens I learned to read and write using phonics.

Is that better?

Well... better, but you still missed an "are" in the first sentence: Should be "The worst thing is OUR backup" not "The worst thing is are backup".

It's one thing to let a typo slip through now and then. It's another thing when I can't even figure out what you're trying to say.

Re: SDSM&T makes ESPN.com

Okay, time out.

I have been guilty of sniping at Joeboo's spelling, grammar, sentence structure, etc. which causes filbert to post a reminder that we may challenge a post but shouldn't attack a poster. It's a good rule.

I think this thread is played out. That was an interesting ESPN note about the Mayville and Tech game.
