The Sicatoka

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.

I'm sure there's a good quote from "SpaceBalls" that'd work here.

Like someone said ....

How many seats would sell for NDSU playing UND? We can safely say 19011 (UND in Fargodome). What if UND could get a "name" school for a game as a part of "weekend" of football and hockey? In reality, does an 11500 seat hockey arena seem practical in GF? But it works. Now, to contradict myself, no roof seems to me to be a bit of a problem given folks have gotten used to that feature.

From another thread: More talk of Alerus and capacity. And what better place to put it than into the "bridge to nowhere" thread.

Given this from another thread, Adding on to both ends? I'm not understanding that. Which direction (N-S like was, or E-W) is the new Sprinturf going in? Would the west grandstand be the sideline or endzone?

They would just need to change their financial model. They now have Canad there. The phrase "convention center" would have to become their prime selling point. That, and maybe they could offer to become home to some other UND sports (like BB, or whatever) for a reasonable to both parties negotiated price.

How much of this is because the (manufactured) hype about "higher level of play" and "tougher competition" and "better teams and better play" coming from some quarters now has to face the scrutiny of "UND 35, Northern Iowa 31" and "UND 37, Southern Utah 10"? Given that, you have to expect that some folks are going to wonder aloud about the emperor's (FCS's) clothes.

But what about the other end of the horse.
