The Sicatoka

Guys, two-time defending champs Florida lost their top six from last year. They're ripe for the picking by a former NCC team on Friday.

"Sioux" is derived from a French suffix for the diminutive. Shouldn't the money for the word go to the French? (Somewhere "ScottM" just spewed and sprayed his morning coffee all over his desk. )

If this is turning soap oper... er, I mean "daytime drama" (as they prefer to be known), let's just hope that for the time being our goaltending situation doesn't become "General Hospital". That would be bad.

How many times do I have to say this: When you find yourself in a situation where nothing makes sense, where up is down and left is right, where nothing is as it seems: Stop. Rise above the situation. Look at it objectively from the outside. And then follow the Benjamins. All will become clear.

Uh-uh. Nope. More like "Lady Marmalade" .... gitche-gitche yah yah dah

That would be good information to have ....

Oh, they have a price. They always do. We will know who they are by their actions. I'd rather deal with the sword (and legacy of a man) in here in "SEC. 4 (a) (3) (B) (i)" here.

The last sentence in this story explains so much ... No wonder I felt like Lucy and Holly were reading from the same playbook. They are.

I'll take a late 60s/70s/early 80s horn band (like Chicago or EWF) over any of the funeral dirge sounding, unmelodic, whiny-lyrics drivvel put out during and since the "Seattle" (out of key, sloppy) sound. And yes, look out, I just might tell you how I really feel about it. And AG isn't good enough to play for Chicago or EWF either.

Do not "dis" Chicago; and do not "dis" their "Greek Theater" parallel act. That's probably the most fun concert I've watched on a television.

How could you guys leave out or

Who's dumber in that case: - Laney for doing it - the 40-some who fell for it. Next time they should offer free hits of this new drug.

Now I know you're kidding because I heard that Diggler skates on a line with Duncan and Oshie in practice.

You'll have to find a pub in a surrounding Midco town like Harwood, Mapleton, Casselton, or Horace. Parts of West Fargo have gone Midco just recently also. You'll have to do some legwork but it's possible.

They didn't know CC'd come out with more fire on Saturday? They didn't know they'd have to come out even stronger, and for a full 60, on Saturday? Yes, CC had some spark; but where was the Friday UND team? What the **** are these guys doing after a Friday home win that they look that sluggish and slow on Saturday? It needs to get fixed now.

Playoffs? Let's not get ahead of ourselves. There's UND@USD and UNO@CWU before that. After those two UND needs to hang part of an NCC banner. Yes, I just predicted what I predicted.

My crack sources tell me that "Sundogs" was first proposed by BRIDGES, hence, immediate elimination from consideration. I say Teddy Roosevelt was a great man.

Let's see, when Hak's contract got done Kupchella was in Slobovia (I think that's right ). Only one other person has an office in that suite of offices on 3rd floor Twamley. I'd guess Hak just tipped his hand on who got a contract done for Hak. Thanks to the UND Vice President of General Administration. (I'd speculated before that it was Harmeson; this confirms my beliefs.)

Stat of the day.

From the Chronicle of Higher Education issue dated November 2, 2007: Ouch. Some excerpts? Toxic? Toxic? Is that worse than "hostile and abusive"? Oh, that's right, UND isn't (never was) that and the NCAA admits it. That just doesn't seem to be a good environment for a female student to find a fellow-female educational role model to pursue higher education under the guidance of. That's really a shame. Not good PR for the state. Source: http://chronicle.com Section: The Faculty Volume 54, Issue 10, Page A6

Isn't there supposed to be some "Paid for by the elect Rob Bollinger committee" thingy at the end of that.

If I were Kupchella all I'd tell them is: "Well, just write "UND Athletic Endowment" there, put "Donation" in the memo, and sign it there. Don't worry about filling the rest in. I'll take care of that, and you'll find out after it clears."

You nailed it.
