The Sicatoka

My 2007-08 DI manual says the DI limits are 13 for men and 15 for women. UND runs at the DII limits (10 for men and 10 for women). There's a proposal in the NCAA right now to lower the DI womens number to 13 like mens.

Since you're all gettin' dreamy and greedy I'm going to join in: How about a horseshoe open-air dome .... what? Horseshoe, with a fixed roof. And a glass wall. (This is where Diggler and PCM chime in with "He's lost it this time for sure" but to them I say "Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?" ) On the site of Memorial, field running N/S, open end south, but the "open" end is really a giant glass wall with panels that can be opened or closed to suit the weather or season. To the south you'd put the outdoor track and practice field to look on to. The south glass wall would go from field level to the roof and look like the "glass wall" of Miller Park. Some panes would open for climate control. Above the opposite end you'd probably want a mirroring section to allow cross-ventillation north to south. You'd have all of the "feel" of outside, but none of the elements (unless you opened the windows). Benefit? In the winter you'd let in all of that sunshine and keep heating costs down for the university. You wouldn't have to pay for the retractable roof (sorry "star" ) and still feel "outdoors". You'd probably want to silver the glass to reflect most of the summer sun. Some of you probably are thinking this is a giant .... Green House, and as UND's home, it would be. Don't blame me: Y'all brought this upon yourselves with this this dreamy and greedy stuff. PS - Did I mention the skyway to the stadium from the new parking ramp on the east side of Columbia? Dream big.

Last time I heard that notion was some goalie, I forget his name, but his brother's name is Zach (and he's a Devil of a player).

Hello? Hel-l-l-l-o-o-o-o-o-o? (tap, tap, tap) Hello? Did the media miss this? Where's the coverage?

What I'm gathering from media reports is that Buning requested this LoA. Interesting.

Was that Spurgeon Wynn out there before Brooks showed up?

Administrator: check. "Face-man" or fundraiser: check. The right decision is the one that's right for UND Athletics as an entity. I hope Ralston and Brekke would come to the same, right answer together (without having to go to the VP level).

Seeing someone mentioned that post of mine (from another thread), namely: The media reports lead to the conclusion that Buning requested the LoA. What that means I won't claim to know.

Update:

In my experiences, a LoA (when not directly requested by someone for personal or professional reasons) results from: "We're choosing to separate our employment relationship." "You're firing me?" "If you choose to look at it so abruptly, yes." "I've done nothing wrong. I'm going to sue you." "If that's your choice, fine, but if it is we're putting you on leave until the matter is resolved. Think it over." And it gets ugly from there. Do I know for sure what happened here? I'm not Tom Buning's physician, nor am I his boss.

I think your first sentence should say " ... hiring or firing ... "

Well, it's 1:00 pm on the day after that post. Where's the press conference so I can watch on the web? Or is it just an announcement from the University? Anyone have a link? Somebody, anybody, give me a public, on-the-record statement so this can go to bed. I have a hockey season to be more concerned with coming soon.

Ha-a-a-rvard too.

Fixed your post.

On the shelf next to the magnetic monopoles and magnetic monopole detectors. (The hard science types are chuckling; the rest are lost.)

Whiner.

So white guys are limited to be ....

Master Plan.

That's been answered.

Wasn't Shantell Rivard "re-assigned" until the end of her contract?

Semantics.

Please?

Personnel? As did I. Yet, somehow I felt like this news was slow to me, through this process at least ....

From Laramie, seems to me Fort Collins (CSU) is about 70 miles away and Boulder (CU) is about 140 miles (and Denver is on the other side of both). They'd have a bigger impact than Wyoming State.
