The Sicatoka

Fargodome is on property owned by NDSU. That can't hurt their arrangement.

Typo, or a larger plan ....

The Fighting Sioux Hockey Radio Network is on the air.

Maybe you could get your mascot to give BC some ice preparation pointers.

I predicted the Bison would pound it at 'em and the Gophers would spread and chuck it around and it'd be a wide-open shootout. I guess Goldie didn't get the memo. How bad are the Goldies? NDSU's Massey Strength of Schedule going into the weekend was 174. What'll it be Monday?

So where instead? Colorado State? Iowa? Minnesota? I picked Nebraska because his old boss is now the Acting AD.

Maybe Goldie should join the Ivy League so they could keep claiming academic superiority, play FCS (and maybe have some FB wins), and hockey. Note to Maturi: Not only have you no spine, you hired the wrong FB coach. Instead, now Nebraska will get him.

Undefeated in WCHA play so far this year. http://www.fightingsioux.com/ViewArticle.d...;ATCLID=1284246

That shoulder looked awfully low.

Somebody during a CSTV interview rolled that number out. If it was 70+ outside and the rink had no AC and was full of people, that's very possible.

I agree with this but with one caveat: If this was the first time this had happened, no. But seeing how this is now "fool me twice" yes, BC should have had to forfeit for not being able to provide suitable playing conditions.

Skating even just 2 periods on slush in 80 degree air is not a break.

First, no AC? What a joke. Next, this has happened before but no resolution? For this reason I believe BC should be forced to forfeit this game. But, I will say that I'll take the two period road tie at BC over a "fog puck" catching JPL blind or someone getting hurt from second-rate playing conditions.

That was Toews in a game? Well that makes more sense because I was starting to wonder when teams started to put opposing jerseys on their orange pylons in practice.

I choose to be a disinterested third party in this one. I don't have a dog (or rodent or ugly wooly drool cow) in the fight.

(I posted this in another thread also.) Any Gopher who questioned UND for taking gambling money with strings (think: design and naming rights) to build a stadium is now firmly in hypocrit mode. And I wonder why one Dakota tribe isn't helping out other members of the Oceti Sakowin (like Standing Rock). Seems the "Mystic Lakers" are more interested in pleasing the wasicu (white man) than helping fellow Nations. Curious.

Nickname (no mascot here) related? Eh, maybe, maybe not. But any Gopher who questioned UND for taking gambling money with strings (think: design and naming rights) to build a stadium is now firmly in hypocrit mode.

Careful or he'll go "Singapore" all over you.

Given all of the vampire references, should that be ... bites?

I try not to, but sometimes it's forced upon me, like now.

I wish young Stoa a sound recovery. The young man needs two knees for the rest of his life.

The only guy (Buning) who can talk right now .... isn't. Why not? I'd guess that he thinks he's better off with speculation, wonder, and finger-pointing at people who are just doing their jobs (and prevented from talking by state and federal law) than he'd be if he sat down with the media and told the story. He has to know that not saying anything is jamming up all of UND. He must mean to do it (because that's not smart to do to your boss, any boss). So whatever this is must be worse for him than jamming up the people who pay him. That's the only explanation that makes any sense. That works well for the short-term, but what's that going to do for him long-term?

(good grief I can't believe I'm about to say this) That guy at the school formerly known as NDAC had no knowledge of ND before then and is doing OK. National universities do national searches: Look everywhere; find the one best suited for the job. That person may be across the country, across the campus, or across the hall. You start by looking everywhere.

Dear Sioux fans, If everything is so wonderful for Fargo and NDSU, if they've gone so far so fast, and don't need or care (think: worry) about UND or Grand Forks any more: Why. Are. They. Still. .... Here.
