The Sicatoka

If I could make one change right now I'd bring in Dale Lennon (interim) to light a fire. The SD schools* have figured it out: Punch NDSU in the mouth first and you'll win. Not sure Bubba has that mindset. Dale did. *One in Frisco; one Saturday.

@farce poobah, this may take a while on the paperwork seeing how NDSU just this month fired the vice provost overseeing ... Equal Opportunity and Title IX Compliance. https://www.ndsu.edu/vpfe/ https://www.inforum.com/news/fargo/ndsu-documents-praise-ousted-female-vice-provost-but-also-criticize-her-handling-of-discrimination-case

Trevor Hammer really nailed some guys to the boards. So are we done now?

You could've sent me there for that level performance. (Haven't swung a club in five years but my SI joints no longer give me pain.)

That's what happens when you drink beer.

Here's who Chris Heisenberg is tracking for 2024: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1gNRdKGXtofb4ti6cX3nVF9JbAilk4SkCMZM6-Df_zgo/edit#gid=1310221579 And 2023: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1w4Zo5azvRWMiuN4Puxj5aRRhwOGmt-DENEsRapKxmfI/edit#gid=1310221579 His lists are not "rankings" per se but general positioning (higher on list is better).

Next will be commercial artists/studios doing it for the kids. They put the studio name on the art and the kid gets an NIL "kicker" from the studio based on retweets. I wouldn't bet against that being the next trend.

Now I need a photo of @Oxbow6 and @Wilbur decked out in full Payne Stewart (RIP) gear.

128 FCS teams. UND consistently in top 32 (top quarter). And mainly in top 25 (top quintile). https://masseyratings.com/cf/fcs/ratings

Move to amend the motion as presented: Someone get this scrimmage streamed on NCHC.TV Midco.

After colors, specifically after blue, come the metals: gold, then platinum. A high-rollin' #gobc like you should know, I mean live, that.

Minnesota's day yesterday (Cole Eiserman is the guy in the van): https://youtu.be/_ia3xfBh5Pc?t=114

Side bar @AlphaMikeFoxtrot: I see your username and still mentally see this clip.

Air Force ... yup, when I think recruiting in the grey area I think Air Force.

Ad infinitum; ad nauseum. Ad mortem.

He's still a Pittsburgh kid. I rule nothing out now that Cooley is gone. But east won't surprise me.

The game is still played on the ice.

Wasn't that in an article recently: They (Bubs) purposefully recruit for a mix of four-year (likely late bloomers) and one or two-year top enders. Cole Smith and Tyson Jost were freshmen teammates in 2016. Both are in the NHL; very different paths.

Here's @brianvf looking for Minnesota in that list:

I believe it was first natural stop under 15, 10, and 5, two minute each. I believe other leagues are doing under 13 and under 6, three minutes each and is what the NCHC is going to. That new schema will likely get a fourth line an extra shift or two per period.

With his cousin Cooley now a 'yote, I suspect Mooney is looking B1G or east. I could be wrong and I'm willing to be pleasantly surprised. I'd guess Lindberg is the top call they still have high hopes to get. My pipeline tracking chart says they're likely close to done save for those mentioned or a goalie (a third to replace KJ Cheese).

Put another way, Seattle's in a four-game playoff series. Sweep or likely done.

@brianvf, this make more sense today*? *Simpson not Mooney off the Schloss-list.
