The Sicatoka

From the Herald editorial:

That's. The. Point. Get the first snap and the first contact and the first play done in a "bland" manner to get rid of the anticipation, and then get serious. PS - Look at UND's 1st down play selection over recent years. I didn't pick "over LG" at random.

I'll do you one better. I'll give your the first two plays for UND: For UND, it'll be something over left guard. That'll leave about 2nd and 7. <insert some sort of WR screen to the right here> 3rd down. Texas Tech expects UND to be afraid of the quick early long-bomb strike. TT's first play: Red Baron on a delay up the middle.

I wonder what looks better to Tate right now, #35 on the roster, or the player page.

It didn't mention that most of the offensive line is new too.

Wouldn't that make him like 12 feet, 14 inches, and 494 pounds?

No, we make jerseys out of badger fur, and then throw the leftover ones onto the ice.

Not to be completely disrespectful, but I don't think you understand the relative discrepancy between hockey programs. I'd expect to be able cherry-pick UND intramurals and still rip up on the Texas Tech hockey program. Why? The Texas Tech hockey program is a club program playing in the ACHA. Texas Tech hockey is not playing in the NCAA. Tech hockey is primarily guys who played in HS or maybe juniors who couldn't get into a Division I or Division III program (or catch on with a Canadian junior team). We have a lot of those here in the intramurals (guys who tried to walk on with the Sioux). The North Dakota hockey program is a seven time NCAA Division I National Champion made up of guys looking to get to the professional ranks. I'm not sure where Tech hockey guys go after college, but here's where UND hockey players end up, including a full alumni report. But to agree with you, yes, I'll still enjoy the football game between (FCS) North Dakota and (FBS) Texas Tech.

I'm going contrarian with my guess. C - Darcy Zajac A - VandeVelde A - Genoway A - Marto Long-shot A that wouldn't surprise me: LaPoint.

So, what became of this? What was the tribal judge's ruling?

It's not nice to "photoshop" the NDSU cheer (and tractor pull) team.

UND loses money in that space may have been more useful for some other research or grant program. (Sorry, but I couldn't let spin in that direction spin with out some counter spin.) As far as cost/rates to go to UND, 82SiouxFan sums it up well.

Option "2" in my link.

We expect you to curb your dog. And you may use the definition of your choosing.

Anyone else seeing some bitter-sweet irony in the signature of "MissSioux85"? The dominant jersey in the photo is a guy who selfishly blew a second chance and let down his team. All for one, one for all ... indeed.

No, I haven't received hockey (or football) season tickets yet, nor have I received a former area goalie in the mail either. And I hope the latter doesn't come COD.

The angle of the lettering is too steep. You notice the glove more than the sweater. There's nothing unique or eye-catching about it. The Maple Leafs have more going on on their sweaters. Are we sure this isn't really just a new practice target jersey? The only way it could be worse is if it said "Michigan State" on front. This looks more like a throw-back (that should be thrown back) to an era they never had. So, be careful, I might not hold back and tell you what I really think about it. If you have a team crest wear it out there. If I want script lettering on the chest I'll look at baseball teams.

We've seen the new womens jerseys. So, ... where are these new RBK Edge* jerseys? * Yes, they are RBK Edge, and the design won't be changing much as Hak (approver) claims to be a traditionalist regarding the jersey.

Fail.

There has to be an on-campus whisper mill running regarding possible third goalies. So, there has to be a serviceable goalie or two somewhere on campus planning to walk on. Names? * serviceable: played a year or two as a back-up in juniors or won a section title in the MnSHSL.

Actually I believe this to be a good thing. It seemed that FSN-North needed to take a TV break before each Gopher power play, but seldom before an opponent advantage. With a set schedule of TV TOs the risk for devious and cunning commercial coersion is lessened. As far as length of game, games at UW, UM, and UND already had TV TOs in them. To me it seemed FSSN was taking four per period (16, 12, 8, 4 minute marks). Someone with games on tape from recent seasons could probably verify or refute this. Now having a set and consistent three probably won't have much overall impact.

I believe that's called "building a bad reputation." I'm sure that was starting to hurt them (see: NAIA home games). The only way to fix it is to rebuild the reputation. One way to do that is to go on the road, like they seem to be doing again. If they drop back into the buy-out habit it'll only hurt them on future scheduling issues.

I concur. However, we've heard about so many "play through it" injuries after recent seasons I'm wondering why another skater isn't looked at. Blais seemed to run with 26 (15F, 8D, 3G).
