The Sicatoka

One year with Mal erases twenty plus running his own teams?

Hutter? But yes, glad the Brewster era is over.

There is wisdom in these words.

Oldest. Player. Excuse. Ever. Heck, I've used it, until the coach showed me my self-perceived strengths weren't. Was him setting me straight mental abuse?

The player had two unremarkable years (about 80 minutes total) at ASU before going to UND and UND got more of the unremarkable same. Seems like the coaches should've kept looking. <-- I'm agreeing with you, aren't I?

But @iramurphy this person may have a point: The coaches he (assume it's a he) questions did bring in a portal (grad student) who shot just 21% overall, just 10% conference, for UND. They must be bad talent evaluators to bring such a weak, ineffective fourth-year. But that student-athlete's parents must be elated that 10% conf FG shooting got a free year of college. To me that seems like a terrible recruitment miss; I hope it didn't bring other baggage.

Predicting staff changes on losing squads in college athletics seems pretty safe. Predicting portal entries these days is predicting the sun will rise in the east. I predict Jacobson is an upgrade.

If you didn't prepare for the enrollment cliff of 2026 ...

You threw me for a second; "BC" means something horrible to me in college hockey. Bryn Chyzyk --> 3Y? ... YZ ... pronounced "wise"?

... and BOOM!

Dry white toast.

Blame it on who ISN'T there? Um ...

It may rival Kariya's at Maine (1991?) and "The Circus".

Does DU build a special pocket in the goalie glove to hold the lucky rabbit's foot?

May 30, 2025. May 30, 2026, is still a month away. Timelines are different in this CHL/NIL/portal world.
