The Sicatoka

I'm yet to see UND run a "20 tickets for $100" promo. I know NDSU has (2003 v. Alpo, er, I mean Valpo). As far as a Valley Dairy 2-for-1 I can honestly say I had not heard of it being promoted yet this fall.

So NDSU gets them in the door and then says "no" to their desired major where UND makes the call before they ever enroll. That sounds in some ways like Dr. Kupchella's stated approach in his Strategic Plan II where he wants to enroll those who have the best tools to succeed so the second-year retention rate stays very high.

So what's the basis of this claim?

They just graduated 23 seniors and most of their starters were juco or DI transfers. They looked confused by their own playbook at times.

Interesting that the notion of a stadium on the Memorial site just keeps coming back, ... http://siouxsports.com/forums/index.php?s=...st&p=175908

Horseshow? We're adding equestrian? (whisperwhisperwhisper) Oh, ... he meant horseshoe.

Read the details in the admissions standards for both. The minimums for guaranteed acceptance is what you're quoting. Most assuredly not all of those applications have met those criteria (unless 23s on the ACT are like oxygen in the air). So what you're really looking at is the raw number that applied and the raw number that the school chose to accept. It would be a better comparison if the number of "mandatory acceptances" (met all guaranteed criteria) was pulled out of the numbers (or at least shown to analyze) to see what each is really choosing (or accepting) to accept. Either way, 89%? The girls (ahem) "working" on Hennepin have better selectivity***. Out east they have phrases for 89%: the "fog-a-mirror*" acceptance criteria or "safety school**". * If you can fog a mirror you're in. ** The one you apply to as a fail-safe so you're sure you can say you were admitted somewhere. New Hampshire is continually called this by BC and BU. *** Or at least that's what Rick's always complaining about.

Are ya kiddin' me?

And lil' ol' me, a non-"insider", I, have to be the first to post it here.

Since someone insisted upon invoking my name .... True or False: Contract negotiations to extend Hakstol's contract with UND have been, and are, underway. True. And that's all I have to say about that, for now.

Water covers 3/4 of the earth; Joe Finley's reach covers the rest.

Mmmm-aybe .....

Cheerleaders. Ryan Duncan's or Weston Dressler's scholarship. Someone has to make tough fiscal decision and the decisions won't always be liked.

A blizzard or that thing. North Dakota ain't so bad.

Is this moratorium just time to give the superconferences time to enact a different option?

Interesting group this is, to say the least. I think I'll keep my C-note and a half.

You think I'm kidding? Does the Pembina Nation Little Shell tribe claim to be Sioux? If so, we all should join. EDIT: Dang, they are Ojibwa (Chippewa).

I just burned a Pizza Corner supreme (while reading this).

What Paulsen said is the simple reality since a December day back in 2000, isn't it? The ND SBoHE took control of the issue that day (from the UND president) and has held it since.

I recall this guy , back in 2002, both here and at Bisonville, saying there is a "missing level" and the NCAA system is broken.

12:30 to 1:00? Won't that interrupt the lunch time pinochle game?
