The Sicatoka

Seems they are gutting the Education Building and then putting on an expansion that appears to connect it to Gillette Hall. http://www.grandforksherald.com/event/article/id/156391/ Based on what I can decipher from the image and the plans this view is looking east (with Gillette on the right, the new section in the middle, and Education on the right). I found these plans: http://www.edbuilding.und.edu/drawingset.pdf

The question is this: What caused that and what'll turn it around? It'd be really embarrassing to some if UND Athletics ended up at WDAY-AM and it coincided with a resurgence of WDAY-AM. Like I said, "The Arbitron book will sort out winners and losers over the next few years."

Bison fans or Bison footballers in a library? {punchline here}

KFGO made a business decision. We all learned a great deal about how KFGO (and somewhat NDSU) does business. That's fine. Good for them. But I've heard from a surprising number of folks that KFGO and RadioFM are coming out of their routines. These folks have been asking me where to find UND on the radio so they can move over there. And more surprising to me, it isn't so much "UND" in many cases but the way KFGO treated a long-term relationship and existing contract (i.e. two hours notice and gone). That sounds interesting but words and practice are different things. Some folks will move down the dial; some folks will move up the dial. The Arbitron book will sort out winners and losers over the next few years.

We are six months after the hit. That's very concerning.

If that's true I'm thinking that some Fargo law enforcement officials should be facing some legal scrutiny.

Precisely. NDSU takes the risk. Joel Heitkamp takes the check.

NDSU is buying radio time on RadioFM. This was all about money and only money. Nothing more. Too bad RadioFM didn't give UND a chance on that front. Probably their loss.

NDSU has taken broadcasting "in-house" meaning they have to buy air time on stations for their games. That means NDSU showed up at RadioFM with lots of money to buy the air time. And I'm sure some legislator will be asking where the money came from.

What concerns me is that ForumComm only has one "stick" (WDAY-AM) in the Fargo market.

Mentioning MSU-Mhd, it seems with 740 The Fan being NDSU's secondary station (if there are conflicts at KFGO) that Concordia has jumped to 1660 ESPN (KQWB-AM). That leaves MSU-Mhd without the radio home it had last season. http://www.inforum.com/event/article/id/273931/ The open questions are the plans of the two other players in the bidding for NDSU: ForumComm (in radio just WDAY-AM) and Hennen's group of stations*. * AM 1100 The Flag; 106.9 FM The Eagle; KQLX AM 890 and KQLX-FM 106.1.

RFM now has NDSU and the FM RedHawks. Given the way this went down, I hope that combination (NDSU/'hawks) does everything for KFGO that it did for WDAY.

I'd like to see a team that has enough confidence in its defensive prowess that it starts to look at offense, and averaging five goals per game.

Surpassed UND in what? "Enron" accounting? Building collapses? Forced retirements of top level administrators?

Fine .... 1) One. 2) Inside the leather. 3) Two putt par.

1) Two, plus at least one more for golf. 2) You were 118 yards away from the pin when you hit the green. (Yeah, I cheated off VMeister.) 3) If you "putted out" I'll say greater than a 1.

Based on Jim's Friday PWR update column, I believe we can safely predict over half of the tournament field. I say this based on assuming finishing 12 in PWR in the worst case is still safe to get in: Denver 1-2 Miami 1-3 UW 2-5 UND 3-6 SCSU 4-10 Boston College 3-9 Bemidji State 5-10 Yale 7-12 plus the UAH Chargers.

If the Mad Hatter is missing his hat, I believe I found it. The story behind the song ... http://thescotsman.scotsman.com/features/O...gger.4424621.jp http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/showbiz/2008/...78057-20682872/

Anything more on the rumors about the state of health of the UND defensive corps?

I have it from an impecable source that such an event occurred. The fan was not hit, but someone else was. The stick ended up in more than one piece.

Personally, yes, Frattin's hit was worthy of a major. I wish Frattin would have turned even just a bit (lead more with shoulder/hip, and not the chest), but I also wish Wehrs would have leaned in against the boards rather than cowering back. Was the suspension justified? In the current league climate, yes. (Can we work on fixing the climate so we don't have to have these discussions?) However, I do believe there was a hit this weekend more than worthy of a game suspension but it didn't: Malone's open ice, center ice cross-check to the face of a Gopher defenseman.

I'm finding conflicting information info depending on the source when I'm searching around on the web. Good catch on the "three years of play" back in that era. You're more than likely right on that one so that would put his death after his eligibility expired. He played for the US in a world championship in 1967 is what I'm finding also, so 1968 is seeming more accurate.

I believe Dennis is Brett's great uncle. Forwards Terry Casey and Dennis Hextall were first-team all-WCHA in 1966. I know what folks have said here, but I thought Terry Casey died in summer of 1967, not 1968.

First time I saw a womens player come out in 12 it just didn't look right. When you lose an all-American, team captain to a car wreck before his senior year you just put the number away.
