This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Kayla Karius leaving South Dakota for UW-Green Bay by Raoul

She played for Borseth (retiring) and took Plitzuweit's place at South Dakota when she left for WVU (now already at Minnesota). She's young (maybe 34) and already on 2nd HC job.

South Dakota now looking again which sucks. Decent program. Karius was making $255K (easier to know what state school folks make).

Braker is now in that Plitzuweit family. If Minnesota can have a good two-year run and she is considered a key contributor, then she will be in position to get a HC role in the Midwest. Plitzuweit and Borseth know all the smaller schools in the Midwest well and she can leverage those connections, in addition to her MM connections.

P.S. I assume Braker like most aspires to get her HC shot. Mabrey still a couple years younger than Braker. They both have to be encouraged by D'Amico Graves and Duffy. The MM tree is growing. I assume she takes an interest in the coaching careers of her former players - beyond those at ND.
