The Sicatoka

The "workplace" notion is a nice try until you remember the "FSU" exemption. And "gettin' back at the man" is so clich

For a group so supposedly past UND they sure do spend a lot of time fixated on UND don't they. PS - Read McFeely in today's Fool'em.

Just like I don't need to know Player X spent 20 extra minutes after practice working on his backhand from 10' out on the off wing, or Player Y shot 200 extra free throws after practice, I don't need daily spoonfed football propaganda about depth charts or 40-times (both of which will change by fall) to sleep at night.

Read your signature line.

Did you miss those four straight trips to the NCAA .... oh, ... wait, ...

Priceless.

I guess someone is going to fail senior design. http://www.grandforksherald.com/articles/i...ection=homepage PS - Dr. Chapman is out of the country and unavailable for comment. Now you can't make that stuff up.

Isn't that the old "Congress sucks, but I'm voting to re-elect my Congressman" mindset? Classic.

No, not really.

Frey, Henley, et al, said it best: "I'd like to find your inner child and kick its little ... "

Change the name and all this type of stuff goes away. Change it to some furry drooling mammal. Like at St. Cloud State, or North Dakota State, where swastikas have also appeared on campus at times. Kum-bah-ya. PS - Sounds like the wrong one or ones no longer live in the halls. There should be some booting out for vandalism and threats.

Heck of a nice senior design project. Good to know the fixation and paranoia at hasn't subsided at NDSU. There are psychiatrists for that; you know, psychiatrists, people with medical degrees from medical schools like at UND. I hope there was no copyright violation using that much of that film. Someone might get sued, by a lawyer, from a law school, like at UND.

I assume you've all heard the "breakin face" theme song.

Adam Wodon's take (minus a few league media guides for spell-checking names ) followed by my thoughts: 1 BC - a gimme pick 2 Michigan - they were freshman dominated this past season 3 Notre Dame - feel good pick but, I'm not so sure, slide down a couple slots 4 CC - until March and April, again 5 Minnesota - apply the standard Minnesota off-season overrating factor and here they are (but who's gonna score?) 6 BU - I don't see this at all, replace with UNH 7 UND - departures control this 8 Wisconsin - seems too high, replace with DU 9 Miami - no Ryan Jones, go to 11, replace with Michigan State 10 Northern Michigan - reasonable given their finish Dark Horse? Minnesota State - Mankato. How will being shunned motivate them for 2008-2009.

您的母親是很醜惡的 .... Honk!

You're such a tease, taunting me with the notion of lax again. To me that actually sounds more like M/W BB for the short-term.

Folks, please quit feeding the trolls. They'll become virtually extinct after UND changes the name. They'll lose their only soapbox, their "cause celeb". Don Quixote will not have a windmill to tilt at. Thus, we'll never have to listen for this reason ever again. They'll be frozen out, and UND will still be going to Frozen Fours. That, friends, is the best revenge, as it's both self-desired and self-inflicted: on them, by them. As I've told many: Be careful what you wish for. You may get it.

I was going to post something but instead .... [shuts mouth] [pulls hands from keyboard] [refuses to publicly rumor-monger claims overheard in Colorado] [ends post]

Jake showed some pride and desire on that play. Sadly, it may have been the most energy I saw in a Sioux jersey all day Thursday. It took a freshman from Grand Forks to break up getting shut out in the semi-finals. Thank you Jake for showing some Sioux Pride (for self, team, and jersey) in a tough situation. (You have my vote for an extra letter on a jersey some day.)

What is an Athletic Director's job? No, I'm serious. What are the job responsibilities? This is in the link previously provided (emphasis added):

The NCAA has exams that coaches must take and pass (things like knowing recruiting rules and dates, and what you can and can't say about recruits, and scheduling rules, and such) to be "certified" as an NCAA coach. Do similar things exist for administrators like the Athletic Director position? If so, - what do those exams focus on? - do all of the possible candidates (and this mystery potential entrant) have the credentials to be certified?

I'm not exactly sure that's what Hakstol said at media day today .... Optimistic? Yes. Certain? No.

That's my question too. If he's best qualified, why not apply first and scare the rest off from applying? Letting someone jump into just the final round seems unfair to the others who applied at the start. But if the posting says "until filled" then letting them apply and be reviewed and making a "pass to Kelley or not" decision like the others seems appropriate also.

The hits just keep on coming ...

Just when you think it can't get any better ... 4,500 early copies of (campus newspaper) The Spectrum vanish at NDSU
