The Sicatoka

I'd much rather be in the pink, than yellow.

Winona State at 7? Is that the same Winona State that barely survived at MSU-Moorhead Saturday? Is that the same Winona State that let the Dragon QB re-write a bunch of Dragon passing records (previously held by Loud Eddie Schultz)? The Dragons had a sizable 4th quarter lead, let it slip away, and then hit an upright (no good) on the potential GW FG as time expired. Winona State escaped. At 7?

Why is there suddenly a mountain lion season in ND? Because there are mountain lions. Why are there mountain lions? Because there is food. What food? Rats with hooves. I like ScottM's notion: I'm pro-mountain lion/cougar/puma/American jaguar.

In the same vein as what "dagies" posted last week:

Ah yes, the "white privilege" canard. I've wondered where that's been.

The hockey gods told him to reach his full destiny this season he had to humble himself and give up one really stinky goal. Better to get it over with in an exhibition.

Don't people complain college athletics is too much like a business? Why not run like one?

You mean this guy's uncle's rip-off of a 30-plus-year-old "Curtain" defense?

I helped you out because I think you lost your "s" on that one.

I gave that all due consideration after reading those four words. Put another way, I quit reading.

How would a hypothesized change in two years help a president search now?

I find this part rather telling:

I believe Twin Cities based Vikings fans can answer that for you. They faced blackout for not sell out Metrodome recently. It's a standard NFL practice: Sold out 72 hours before kickoff or blacked out.

A kid from Grand Forks named "Jean-Phillippe". What next.

So "JP" is coming back from the Devils organization? Anyone tell Phillippe Lamoureux yet?

Is the 360 the only reason? Given Kupchella (and Harmeson before) are saying the law precludes them from discussing the issue publicly, and that everything in a public employee's record is public except for medical and medically related issues, clearly, we do not know everything there is to know.

Jeff's brother Mike played for UND.

Is that rhetorical or do you really want my answer?

That voice from that guy is like hearing Barry White's voice from Pee Wee Herman.

A dismissal (not even an LoA) with no reason given? We need to know all about this! Where's Mike McFeely? Let's face it: This name is probably more recognized regionally than UND's on-leave AD! Details! Stories! Page One, 72 point font headlines! PCM: Would you be available to teach "What goes around comes around 101" for a certain television General Manager? [/cynicism] OK, now that that's over, I'm guessing KVLY's GM did what needed to be done (or he wouldn't have done it and possibly put ratings in jeopardy). Let the man do his job.

Mike Fink had a pretty ordinary night in Waterloo tonight (L 2-1, Cedar Rapids). He created a couple scoring opportunities for linemates (they didn't finish) when established in the offensive zone and got a shift on the PK, but looked like he was learning more than playing when the puck was loose or in CR's possession. It's a jump from HS to USHL (and he's the youngest forward on the Waterloo roster). Former Fargo Southie Paul Weisgarber got Waterloo's only goal.

If that's what you have to keep telling yourself so you can get to sleep tonight ...

H. David Wilson was 360 reviewed and is Dean of Medicine today. Robert Boyd was 360 reviewed and is Vice President today. Tom Buning was 360 reviewed and .... Why review at all?

And now Kupchella says he's prevented from discussing Buning's LoA. Not surprised. For those of you who didn't follow the link the first time: That's what I can find as about the only reason Kupchella and Harmeson would take the "no discussion" stance. As far as blaming the VPGA for this, he did a standard practice (360 review) and has to deal with the findings. Why blame him for doing his job?

Exactly. I'm not saying anyone's doing a terrible job. I'm looking for a breath of fresh air.
