The Sicatoka

I don't think UND is looking for help from Grand Forks to build something like that. UND would like to be in a facility that they own and would look to their benefactors to make it happen. (GF taxpayers can now exhale. )

I thought I said that.

That's poorly written. (Sorry Ryan S. Clark of the Fargo Forum.) When I read it here I thought Pool was a teammate and neither would achieve admissions to schools pursuing them. Reading the article, Pool is his assistant coach, and "get into" actually means "name the names of" all the schols that are after Chyzyk.

A stadium on the Memorial site was in some of the original renderings. It looks like the indoor training center renderings don't show it but leave space for it. http://iconarchitects.com/projects/masterplan/indoor-practice-facility.html

Knock down the south wall for seating? Maybe. Knock down the north wall for seating and you take out the Aurora Ballroom and the kitchen facilities for the conference center.

No, you didn't. You said, and I quote, " ... current and actual graduates ... " which as written means current-and-actual graduates, or living graduates. (Words mean things.) You did not say "current students and actual graduates". My reading is fine. How's your writing?

With that statement you miss: - current students who have not graduated - stakeholders who may or may not have attended or graduated - faculty (oh, wait, see the "Uncle Rico Rule" above ) - staff I know folks who should vote, for example PCM, who's done a lot for UND Hockey with his USCHO writing, who wouldn't be able to vote under a "graduates only" mindset. That mindset = FAIL.

I wish kickers would use a snapper in those videos. It would: - give snap-spot action instead of a steady-hold target (how adjustable is he en route) - give a reference to how flat (blockable) the FG tries are coming off the foot

Wrong question. Correct question: Who don't we have this weekend?

Blaze or Blazers would be too easily negatively-connotated by some parties. The official name could be Firebrand, but in practicality we'd be known as "The Torch".

The dates don't scare me at all. Contract awarded Feb 8. Figure the work starts Mar 1, so Mar-Apr-May-Jun-July: five months. But what interests me is the "install or remove the complete field within 2 hours, using 6 people or less" requirement. That's a pretty good trick. How many and how long does it take now with the magic carpet system currently there?

I see some of you are beginning to realize the true nature and size and power of the behemoth called the NCAA. Look at what 82 posted: The NCAA is able to blow smoke like that up the rear of a Congressional committee and the committee rolls over.

Stop it ira. You'll ruin McFeely's delusion du jour.

Torch 'em.

IRS Auditors ... Motto: "We're here to help!" That's scarier than Congressmen.

Look at today's "academics": decidedly liberally biased. That's precisely where the policies are coming from.

The voting members of institutions of the NCAA are not the faculty representatives from the schools. The university presidents of NCAA member institutions are the ones who vote: classic "academics". As far as NCAA leadership, current president Mark Emmert is a former president of U of Washington and previous president Myles Brand was a former president at Indiana University, again classic "academics". Please note my use of double-quotes around academics because they are that in name only. True academics know and respect individual rights and freedoms, not this group-think and identity politics mindset running rampant today in "academia".

Grand Forks is probably running into what happened in Fargo: The high schools were in the right spots until all the growth only happened on one end of the city (in each case the south side).

Now here's the "money question" for all of you: Are any of you really, really surprised that the NCAA is run this way when it's run by "academics" who run their campuses this way?

Bloomberg BusinessWeek called the NCAA "The Best Little Monopoly in America". They defeated the US Postal Service and OPEC for the title.

Ya ever wonder what Colten "we here at the NCAA don't like your HS transcript" St. Clair thinks when he reads stories like this?

The way this season is going I think all we'll be able to skate for healthy bodies is three goalies. Maybe we'll get lucky and have one make a kick save that travels back up the rink and slips under the opposing goalie for a 1-0 win.

The only poll that matters is the pole you raise a championship banner on.

Seems Mr. Joe Nocera is on a roll against the NCAA. All I can say is, "Popcorn, please!" The College Sports Cartel NCAA's "Justice" System More NCAA "Justice" Guilty Until Proved Innocent Living In Fear of the NCAA
