The Sicatoka

The new council has been in place less than a month. I'm sure they have open items and to-do lists that include items beyond this.

Why is this coming up at all? Think 54 million homes under the new Fox College Sports deal. Does Fox College Sports want the FCC asking why they're allowing the f-bomb during their broadcasts? If it persists, what happens? Easy: FCS drops UND. Nobody wants that as we want to watch UND hockey from anywhere. So what's the solution? Lose one word, just one word, from the chant vocabulary. Pretty simple.

What disappointed me about the Gopher series? The misplaced focus. Why "<bleep> the Gophers"? Why not "Lets Go Sioux!" The other guys? Non-factor. We play our game, we win. So, ... "Lets Go Sioux!"

OK, since this is the game today ... We were so poor that we were always clean. Only rich kids had dirt.

An option team coming in? I say in honor of Halloween, free popcorn on the sidelines for the visiting team all game long ... extra butter.

I just heard the report of thousands of PC-greenie-(weenies) heads explode.

The dates that matter are in the legal agreement between the State and the NCAA. Dates before those are milestones to keep the process moving forward (as long as the effort is warranted).

Based on that, clearly.

It's called a medical hardship waiver and it can give a sixth year if granted.

But the lure of "Touchdown Jesus" ... many are called, few are chosen.

Sometimes they're good (Wagner); other times, you get one with a surprise and it makes you sick.

Joe finally ran up bills that the NDSU-F just couldn't (or wouldn't) keep up with. So, the NDSU-F starting giving the information to anyone who asked and let the rest take care of itself. Starting with a house plan that was over and then adding to it, and then going on a $22k weekend trip, the NDSU-F had to know what would be the result when that all came into the public spotlight.

Those were the rules NDSU created the minute they started their transition. They've been shoved up UND's nose ever since ("DII doesn't matter"). Now that NDSU's playoff eligible in DI, now it counts. So, how's she going?

All that matters is DI and being playoff eligible. That's all UND fans heard up to this point. Don't be changing the rules. NDSU DI FCS playoff eligible record ... 2008: 6-5 2009: 1-7 Total: 7-12 UND DI FCS playoff eligible record ... 2012: TBD

Q: What's stopping a game now? A: Interest. This year it'd be called the "Wipe and Flush Bowl".

All that and Sagarin still has TT ranked above Iowa State. I guess that speaks to the overall abilities of the Big XII North.

At least UND is still mathematically able to win something (other than the first pick in the draft).

The Fargo newspaper invoked 1962 (0-8, finished 0-10) as the last time the Bison started a season this poorly.

UND has three wins versus FCS teams this year.

Jan 2? No. It seems the ND SBoHE wants to cut Joe loose a month earlier than that. http://www.grandforksherald.com/event/apAr...e/id/D9BH52600/

Would you rather be 3-4 and technically still in "warm-ups" (transition) trying to figure it out*, or Sit 1-7 with two road games coming, no playoffs, and 7-12 since becoming playoff eligible. PS - UND could still win the Great West. Beat Poly. Beat Davis. * And still have 2.5 seasons to figure it out before it really counts.

"What'd I say?" "Engelwood Jack!" "That's the way!" "ENGELWOOD JACK!" Only change Engelwood to Engelstad. (Some of you get the reference.)

At least you hit the extra point.
