The Sicatoka

C'mon. We all know he's really innocent. Let's just release him, let him go, about 1245 hours on 16 Sep 2006 in the parking lot south of Alerus Center near the tent that'll be erected there. However, I do think he should be really careful if we do release him right then, right there: He, above all, knows bad things can happen to people in parking lots. Sing it Toby and Willie ... "Grandpappy told my pappy ... "

I missed it: Is that real or not?

I've never understood why attendance matters to an organization based on what is best for the amateur student athlete and amateurism. Minimum mandatory attendance criteria reeks of professionalism in what should be pristine amateur sport. If "School X" can afford 85 scholarships (say they have a kind benefactor) that is best for the amateur student athlete: So why does it matter how many people are in the stands.

I bet Tim and Swyg had sidebets going: - when the first post would show up after mentioning the site - how many posts in how long after mentioning I hope they both lost.

Why should any of this surprise any of you who've been paying attention? Myles Brand has pondered aloud that maybe he should stop people from freely giving their own money to the place of their choosing.

Dr. Charles E. Kupchella is a wise man. Read my signature.

The blessing in all of this? The "Kermit's luck guides our puck" vintage of UND hockey fans won't be able to submit "Frogs" as a replacement name if the Sioux name is ever retired.

Noteworthy exception: BoSox fans.

She's been competition ready for NCIKL events twice. June 2000 was the second time. And too bad that you got turned down for the CIWSC (Collegiate Indoor Waterskiing Conference) that second time due to 12 feet of water. You were good the first time with just 8 feet, but they want at least two soundings. (They figured you were trying to cut water chop with greater depth the second time. ) If sulfates were the issue, and you dumped to the Red, I'm telling the Manitoba premier.

Under the B, ... 2, B-2. <-- In that case you have to say "Bingo!" very stealthily.

Don't kid yourself. That'll come right after. It won't matter that the same symbols are used by the indigenous peoples of this region. And on that thought .... 'PCM' was trying to point out a subtle nuance in this: No black person ever used the Rebel stars and bars to represent themself (I believe). That symbol was used to oppress blacks. But once the NCAA 'does' SoCar, people will forget that subtle, yet critically key, nuance and just keep choppin' away at symbols that some folks say they don't like. Thus, I predict the NCAA will come after the ND Highway Patrol's car doors featuring Red Tomahawk (even though Red Tomahawk's decendants support the NDHP).

Is that the same league for indoor watersports that NDSU is in? I know NDSU has had a major domed facility filled with water twice in the past. Is an NCIKL meet why that was? Will that score big with Douple and the Mid-Con?

Couldn't this be put under that same "speculation" heading that Sioux fans are so accused of lately?

Q: "DID YOU MISS ME?" A: No, but I didn't throw anything at you ... yet.

Boese? Soccer? What position?

Anyone but you would be able to. ;)

Sw-w-w-wee-e-e-e-eet.

The average person can't keep DI-A straight from DI-AA (and most don't care). And this "FBS" vs. "FCS" naming is going to help?

How do courts feel about breeching contracts?

Let's finish this sentence accurately: and because the money is good.

Really? So which are more or less likely? (Don't add or subtract from the words. Go on just what is says, nothing more.) "UND will get into BSC" "UND will get into Mid-Con" "UND will get into Great West FB Conference" "UND will be in DI indy pergatory until 2011" Enjoy your Cheerios, but don't eat too fast or you may cause a heart attack.

You got the first three letters of your post right. A former NDSU faculty member, who lives in Fargo, who Paulson pushed for, isn't going to help the perceptions in the skeptical quarters on this topic. We're all going to have wonderful time come the Legislative session ... not.

Far-fetched? Yes. But is there evidence that the NCAA has looked and is looking? Yes. Far-fetched? A little less. Extrapolating from there? Yes, that can get far-fetched quickly. Then again, all any of us are doing is speculating on snippets of information. Claiming by anyone, supporting or rejecting a theory, to be more than speculating is in itself far-fetched. Quite simple, objectively looking at the case in point: "UND will get into BSC" <--- speculation "UND will get into Mid-Con" <--- speculation "UND will get into Great West FB Conference" <--- speculation "UND will be in DI indy pergatory until 2011" <--- speculation

Former NDSU faculty picked for the position .... interesting ....

What are you saying? Of course he's irreplaceable. Look at history: Hockey collapsed after Gino left. And it collapsed again after Blaiser left. And football collapsed after RT left.
