I was almost positive both signed two-year deals and each are through the first year. WDAY-TV not going for NDSU football, given their experience with it, what's that say? PS - Who wants to buy the articles from 2006 with the details? http://siouxsports.com/forums/index.php?s=...st&p=171168 PPS - UND signed a two-year extension in August 2006. http://siouxsports.com/forums/index.php?sh...mp;#entry179720

They were forced to watch Juan Rincon pitch later that evening.

Stations? (shrug) Coverage area. What I wonder is .... How does the WDAY-TV/ForumComm crew feel about being foresaken for KVLY (two games) and KXJB (coach show) television? They have a long history of being the mouthpiece and now they are set aside. Ingstad Broadcasting has WWAG-AM coming on-line soon (740 AM, Fargo). (He's the guy that bought Radio City, KFGO and the rest, back from Clear Channel.) He's a Bison fan and the speculation, even by folks like Mike McFeely, has been that they'll make a run for NDSU sports in the future. UND has a history with ForumComm (namely WDAZ-TV, the producer of FSSN). And the General Manager of WDAY-AM was the PA man for (and remains a big fan of) Sioux Hockey. Both the UND and NDSU media contracts are up after this season. Interesting. Interesting. Interesting.

I had two people that matter to me cross that bridge at 5:45 pm.

The "global cooling" fanatics of the late 1960s and early 1970s. We were headed for an ice age then. (Some folks actually had plans on how to warm the Earth back up! Just ask PCM.) Roll forward 30 years .... The "global warming" fanatics of today.

Didn't they used to make hockey stick shafts out of that before composites? No, wait, that's titanium.

Am I the only one who got this?

No. It's because they've never read my signature.

Apparently not the NCAA (membership vote? what membership vote?), but just its Executive Committee. But they, per the NCAA Constitution, can't mandate policy.

Dear Gothmog: UND is only doing this because ND Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem has had nothing else to do for the last year.

If they could have run this past a full association vote and got Myles and the Exec Comm's desired outcome, why didn't they? Shouldn't the Association be mad at them for not doing it the right way (and saving a court battle)?

Going to Frozen Fours is nice. Yes, I'd like a win on Saturday there. But you can't deny three straight Fours. But I'm more concerned about the slow starts each year. It happened with a very mature team a couple years back. It happened with a young team after that (not surprisingly). And, even after the young guys got that scary experience, it happened last year also (4-7-1 first half at home with Oshie, Toews, and a Hobey winner). The first time a team can't (for whatever reason) turn it on in the second half the first half rumblings will turn into a full roar in February.

Making a long answer short: Yes, you do, but they do also. The State's case claims they didn't follow their rules in implementing the policy.

Better? I thought their prices (and menus) hadn't changed in twenty-some years!

Call it an elevator, call it a lift, it's still not the stairs.

I've said many things in life, but that's not one of them. Keep it up and you'll get nothing for your birthday.

You mean this might exceed the height of the Fargo city dump!

They called it "3Com" but it was still "Candlestick". They called it "Leningrad" but it was still "St. Petersberg". It's really "Mumbai" but some still call it "Bombay". In the words of The Bard, " ... that which we call a rose, by any other name ... "

I won't steal thunder. Let the guy who told me tell all.

Swirlies?

Not mine to tell. Let the man take credit due.

To truly go old school that should say either "Cal Marvin" or "John Noah".

So is that now the straight poop on the story? And when "poop happens" there may be more than one? If you believe things will start moving soon give details man, details. Move it along. Don't be constipated.
