The Sicatoka

I'd chalk it up to "counting abilities".

I think the Big Ten should hold their hockey tournament in United Center in Chicago. For numerous reasons (moniker policies, memories of the past), Minnesota and Wisconsin would surely enjoy all the Blackhawk logos in that arena.

There will always be kvetching about that.

I'm sure they feel special when they sparkle in maroon.

Flat (aka matte) black, ala Rutgers, I bet. http://www.nikeblog....elmet-uniforms/ OkySt did a flat grey and a black (not sure it was flat).

Would it be wrong to comment that Jewish hockey players will ... nail you to the boards?

I still see 200 miles from SHSU to Frisco, TX. That's a major advantage for one side.

{smart-alec comment here about how it normally takes the combined scores of three NDSU students to get an ACT of 30} (C'mon, he set it up, of course I had to knock it down. )

Personally, I'd call a blunder worse than a bad call. Bad calls happen (see: WCHA officals). A blunder is defined as "make a serious mistake", or "move clumsily", or "act in a confused way". <-- That's the NCAA right there. And part of me wonders if they didn't change it to "blunder" to try to be cute ... blUNDer ...

http://www.time.com/time/arts/article/0,8599,2102772,00.html?xid=gonewsedit Finally Spirit Lake gets on the attack the right way. Pressure the NCAA nationally. I've been saying "Federal court", but this may work nearly as well. And anyone else notice that the pro- folks (both SR and SL) are willing to talk but the anti- folks have gone silent in that piece? (And I know this is in the other thread, but it's the first major news source article that's even remotely sympathetic to the pro-moniker view.)

My guess as to what the new turf at Alerus Center will look like? See: Field Turf at Memorial.

Realities for this game: - Finals week at UND. There were two kinds of students this late in the (finals) week: those who had finals left to study for and those who'd gone home already - Week night within 10 days of Christmas. Folks need to get that last minute consumeris ..., er, I mean holiday spirit moving - Week night in general. You'll only get the 30 minutes or less drive folks.

That is a strange quote from his coach. Most of the time you see "coach quotes" about former players talking about what a hard worker a guy is, or skills, or smarts.

You need to learn some of the history of the double-headed eagle. Your perspective is a couple thousand years too short. http://en.wikipedia....le-headed_eagle

Firebrand still works now, as I'm hoping the fascist-minded Mr. Brand is, shall we say, deeply involved with fire. PS - I can't claim the concept as my own.

This possible nickname is what should've happened when Myles Brand came up with this "catalyst for social change" agenda at the NCAA. It should've happened: Fire Brand. And there's the new moniker to "toss the bird" to the NCAA: Firebrand. fire·brand 1. a person who kindles strife or encourages unrest; an agitator; troublemaker. 2. a burning stick carried by somebody as a torch or a weapon

The women already had one jersey that is NCAA post-season approved. It is green and has a script "North Dakota" on the front and the shoulders have patches like my avatar.

Hey, can you cover more than one Tebow square on the Tebow bingo card per play? Most of his wobbly passes are due to poor mechanics so that'd get you two squares on one play.

Jesus plays hockey, but he plays goaltender: JESUS SAVES!

Unfortunately for the rest of the league Tim Tebow is following the Al Davis mantra.

Hey, new option: You can Tweet for Lehigh.

Please put context into Vandrovec's numbers. What is that number? All sports? One sport? Which? And it says "revenues", that's normally "gross". Did he mean "net" or "profit"? $981k at $20 per ticket is about 49000 tickets.

RD17, can I take your statement: and think out loud, namely, "Could this be why there's some noise about scrapping the non-1-versus-2 BCS games in favor of going back to more negotiated bowl-team provider agreements with the conferences?" If there are more BCS teams, there are more BCS mouths to feed at the bowl trough, and we know the biggest of the bigs (B1G, SEC, Pac) don't want to risk having to share any portion of "their money" with any lesser schools. If the Pac and the B1G can lock up the Rose Bowl (money) without risk of an interloper (like Boise) qualifying for it, why wouldn't they?

That was all already spelled out in the settlement agreement.
