The Sicatoka

Someone finally listened to me.

The old sheet had the same "use in conjunction with" guidance. I believe that's why we saw "Sioux" added to the interlock on the 2008-09 hockey shoulder patches. The key difference is the font. "Our Lady of the Lake" (South Bend, IN) uses a courier block font with outlining. This new logo looks like it's based off the font used to make the UND flame logo. I say that based on the sharp, pointed serif used on the "N" in both cases. I'd say Athletics was "inspired" by the flame logo's font but then they "toughened" it up (bold, more block). See the stylesheet in the link GeauxSioux provided to look at U, N, D letters there for comparisons. The other difference I see is that "Our Lady" uses it just as a two-dimensional logo. This new logo (see my avatar) is shaded to make it look three-dimensional.

If you're going that route, go the whole way.

Sad story, but I'm not sure that that Mr. Hammersmith is the poster here. The story says:

I'll have to add that to my list of favorite oxymorons: - jumbo shrimp - friendly fire - rap music - respected attorney

I've asked a highly regarded social commentator about his thoughts on the actions and behaviors of Misters Finley and Frattin. I'll allow him to reply on his own. "Dumbass."

Lawn mower toss: the newest competition in "The Worlds Strongest Man" contest. See it on "ESPN 58 - The Cinco-Ocho", right after the youth division of the World Series of Poker.

That's the only good thing to take from the story.

What the ... Geez Finley, c'mon Frattin ... Did you not read this? Did you not understand this? Un. Ack. Cept. A. Bull.

We have a new defenseman: Ryan Hill. We have a goalie for 2012: Zane Gothberg from TRF But these remain: And I had to re-ask to make my prediction accurate.

I'm not sure this is what you mean, but I've always wondered why people demand front-door parking to climb onto a treadmill.

<----- Re-e-e-eally? Ask risk of repeating myself, I like it better with black (not grey like Geaux's version) shading. And I do like it the outline of the state.

The only hope is that the WCHA coaches looked up this spring and saw: - Denver absolutely out-skated by Miami in the opening round - a speed-and-skate Bemidji State team playing in Washington DC

Is Ryan Hill intended to bring what Aaron Walski brought? Both are guys who came in relatively old (21-ish). Both are guys who took longer to figure the game out. Both are guys that understand that it make take time to make an impact. Both are guys who seem to be based on stability and maturity and calming influence.

Compare and Contrast: Denver's Gwozdecky goes nuts, gets ejected, the walks on the surface and delays the game, and then goes to the press box to stay in contact (by wire) with his team during the game after ejection: One game, by the team. Baltimore's Dave Trembley gets ejected, leaves, and then tells Luke Scott "get me a couple" runs: Two games, and fined, by the league. It just confirms what I knew already about WCHA 'leadership'.

I read mine and find: " ... and the deeds of infamy became legend." -- Archibald: 247-540 " ... verily the season of glory is too soon forgotten." -- Archibald: 37-24-61

Guess what: I don't like the hype either. So what. (shrug) But let's talk about the actual product, because seeing is believing: The image quality is no contest.

" ... and many false prophets will follow." -- Hrkac: 46-70-116 " ... and I was given a great gift and showed others a shining light." -- Joyce: 52-37-89

See the one-year Badger Body-count at the end of this Schlossman Special.

Is this a signal that: a) LaPoint's recovery has slowed and this is a defense corps insurance policy? b) Forney isn't coming and Hill is filling a roster spot (to get to 25)? c) Hakstol will be going with a 26-man roster this year? Hak was recently heard to say "eight, maybe nine" in answer to the question of how many new faces in camp this fall. Adding nine would make a 25-man roster (like the Hak teams of the last few seasons). Well, two goalies, MacWilliam, Gleason, Cichy, Kristo, Bruneteau, and Rowney makes eight. Hill makes nine, without Forney. Now, re-read my questions above.

My anonymous sources have retrieved two secret tapes of Schroeder. I've spliced them together for your convenience. The first part is Jordan impressing Minnesota media with his vast skill array (0:00 to 0:45). Next is his interview with the NHL at the combine (0:45 to conclusion).

You missed the Aussies.

You lost me after that.

Part of the Kangas/Bachman problem may have been sophomore slump. Another may have been complacency: They knew the job was theirs. Enter Aaron Dell. (Crazy like fox that Hakstol.)

Of course you don't. Imagine the environmental impact statement paperwork you'd have to do over all of that toxic waste dumped into the ocean.
