The Sicatoka

I don't know anything about "lately", but I do know the last time Doug and Lorraine MacMillan's boys played together on a line they kinda-sorta did OK. 2009-10 Alberni Valley Bulldogs (BCHL) Mitch: 59 GP 61-32-93 Mark: 59 GP 26-54-80

T'was my impression.

Remember, we got Parks back for half a period and he was out again. That says he really wasn't ready last time. No mistakes this time. It would not surprise me at all if they consciously held Parks out against Michigan Tech to give him basically another month without game contact knowing it would all but guarantee Parks back against Holy Cross to make up for Grimaldi being at WJC.

You may choose to assume that. Me? I'm awaiting the Cass County State's Attorney to chime in on subject.

Massey (mratings.com) thinks SHSU v. NDSU is a 27-26 NDSU win. Massey also has it at 48% chance of SHSU winning, 52% for NDSU.

Recently NDSU's Athletics administration stated that if they take action involving an athlete or coach it must've been because of ... - sex - drugs - violence Based on their own words, if they do anything it's because of one of those three.

Wow, that really was his "two minutes hate". Then again, hitting Bruce McLeod with a chair isn't a bad idea, nor is the "Mutineers" notion.

Did someone say "NCAA playoff hockey in The Ralph"? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1_x1oo35L0

Seems the SL CUR missed their filing deadline for their petitions. http://www.grandforksherald.com/event/article/id/251546/

NCAA plays it February to May. (You'll find all sorts of Q and A like that if you troll through the 20-some pages of thread I linked to. )

Show some respect to Terry Casey. That #12 is to never again grace a UND mens hockey jersey with anything but the "Casey" name on the plate.

Alerus is big enough, as is Memorial, playing surface-wise. Or maybe, if they ever got the ITF built; it is planned to have some seating (1500 or so).

No comment.

So that's where Bubs was going yesterday.

We needed another WR?

So what did George "the dasher dancing monkey" Gwozdecky do after Saturday's loss? He went to Ikea.

Let's see, someone goes "hatty" and they cut hat prices 33% for that day. So, instead of selling 3 hats and getting $x.xx they sell 4 hats and get the same $x.xx. So getting the same $x.xx but having one less hat in inventory (assets) is "profit"? That must be "NCAA math."

Something like that. Good to see you're awake.

<Hockey diversion> Yes, Jesus plays defense. He's a goalie. How do I know? Jesus Saves! Grimaldi scores on the rebound. </Hockey diversion>

Shortell hasn't graduated yet, has he? The reason Braden Hanson could play right away is that he had graduated from UNC and had a year of eligibility left. Having graduated means he didn't have to sit out a transfer season. I don't believe Shortell would be eligible right away on transfer anywhere (unless he's graduated from UMTC).

I know I've picked the FCS playoff "chalk" to the semis, but I have a sneaking suspicion that Wofford will be a warm-up scrimmage on the triple option and Georgia Southern will beat ODU and bring their version of the triple option to NDSU the following week. (Wofford/ODU is a tough game to get a read on.) All Big Sky on the other side (Northern outdoor hosts in December. Need I say more?)

Dominos just like conference affiliations: One goes and the chain starts to tumble.

I believe in the hanging curve ball, high fiber, and good scotch.

Pattyn's brother is playing defense at Vermont.
