The Sicatoka

Explain? It's Gorg's opinion. {yawn}

The black (alternate) jerseys could be a lot of fun.

No Predators - too scary for the elitist faculty No Drones - too boring If you want the UAV spin go to the MQ-9 "Reaper" coming to GFAFB. You can spin that to the state's ag history and the UAVs.

If "Rough Riders" were to come to pass the slang reference to the team would be "Bully!" ... hence the Bullys!

http://www.inforum.com/event/article/id/337362/ I'll avoid the temptation to guess names behind this.

Stop. The. Run.

This story embodies everything that won't get NDSU more money from the legislature: - officials who should know better misusing funds they manage today - claiming they didn't know they shouldn't/couldn't do it -- questionable ethics? - not immediately removing a person who isn't a good steward of State/NDSU funds.

So who has the Big XII decided to invite and who will accept the right to be under the conference domination of the "Austin Angus"? Where will that trickle down? And I saw on some news site that the Big East will be adding football members: Who?

1. This thread is to discuss conference realignments. Check the other crap at the web portal. 2. I needed the old thread to keep up with all the changes so it getting locked was a real disappointment to me. 3. I have moderator powers. (Betcha didn't know that.) I haven't ever banned anyone but do wonder how it'd feel, so, in the immortal words of Harry Callahan, "Go ahead, ... make my day." 4. Expect a strict constructionalist interpretation of the forum rules and guidelines.

UND came off the throttles somewhat after they got up three scores on BHSU and it was closer at half than it should have been. This is a game UND should win. That makes it a trap game.

I'm glad to see Kelley and Faison put those messages out there. We all forget to say thank you far too often in life.

If you follow him on Twitter you joined his "congregation". Did someone force you to follow Rocco on Twitter?

Just heard a great one-liner about this: http://www.inforum.c...group/homepage/ They should call on UND's football defense to help in the search ... the guy will only get 23 yards on the ground in a day*. *UND at SUU: http://www.fightings...DB_OEM_ID=13500

The Ralph is 10 years old. Here* is a "thank you" from Betty Engelstad. I think the "thank yous" should still be going her way. Thanks Mrs. E. *Betty's letter to the Herald ... with a mysterious closing line: "I also look forward to what the future may bring." http://www.grandforksherald.com/event/article/id/217485/

If there must be controversy (and it seems that there must always be) I guess I'd take this over Judy's or "elevator-whiz-gate". Runnin': You're upset because he stated a POV in opposition to your (dare I call them 'religious') beliefs regarding feminism*. Ain't the First Amendment grand. * To some extremists, feminism is as dogmatic as any major religion.

Not completely accurate ... " ... green, white, and black are used as the UND colors." So technically, any of those three work. I don't have a problem with "third jerseys" in black in any sport. And to those of you who snicker at "pink" ... I'd rather be in the pink, than yellow. (Imagine a breast cancer awareness hockey game with pink jerseys. Would you smack about it to Ben Blood or Andrew MacWilliam or Andrew Panzarella on the ice? There'd be "smack" alright ... of their fists upside-yo-head. ) * http://und.edu/unive...g/standards.cfm

I assume you extend the way you see lust* to the "Gordon Gekko" type folks on Wall Street too. *most people see that word (lust) only in a sexual context, but at it's core it's an overmastering desire or craving for something

Very few uniforms say "Sioux" or have the Ben Brien logo on them anymore, or at least have one "look" without it. Football took the logo on front-center of the collar off a couple years ago.

I believe the plan (before any Legislative action) was to be "The Fighting Sioux" through 2011-2012 but wear non-logo/no "Sioux" word gear in any NCAA playoffs. Kelley got permission from the ND SBoHE to sell "Sioux" gear through this year as well.

Would you disagree with what he said if I removed two words ... "God put US in charge of this earth so WE are the ones who need to man up and lay down our lust." Are they taking full responsibility for their actions and outcomes? If only the answer were always "yes".

Misogyny? Hating on girls? (That's the definition.) From the sample you selected sure; but in full disclosure ... Rocco to the males of the species: "And don't blame the women for how they dress. ... Women are not an object for playing with. We blame the women for what they're wearing, ... WE are the men and WE are to blame." Seems he's "hating on" the boys too.

If Rocco was Muslim and said women should cover up ... he'd be untouchable, because you can't say anything about Muslims or their beliefs.

Genuflecting and last rites are Catholic acts. But I don't believe Rocco is Catholic. It's OK though, you can fire all the Catholic jokes my way. I'm tough. PS - I like what Rocco carries with him: "But the LORD said to Samuel: Do not judge from his appearance or from his lofty stature, because I have rejected him. God does not see as a mortal, who sees the appearance. The LORD looks into the heart." - 1 Samuel 16:7 PPS - Closed circuit to Rocco: The world is just waiting for opportunity to call you a hypocrit.

The St. Clair situation now has me better understanding why defenseman recruit Dan Senkbeil was centering a Dickin and Pattyn Saturday night. Actually, Senkbeil looked like he had a clue what he was doing out there at center.

Dear Rocco: You are right. There's no need for teenaged girls to be putting their "wares" out on display continually. And if anyone thinks Rocco doesn't know he's acting as a lightening rod, well, you've probably never heard of Tim Tebow either. If UND is associated with a lightening rod I'd rather it be Rocco than these imfamous lightening "rods".
