The Sicatoka

Or like the title of a bad Emilo Estevez movie.

Catchy? Dorky? For reference see also ....

The past few years the marketing of UND athletics has gone with a theme. Look back at all the schedule posters (FB, hockey, BB) from 2003, and 2004, and 2005, and now 2006. Each has had a "theme" or "look" to them. This year's theme and look includes a catchy phrase: "Force of the North." If that makes some restless, so be it.

A more complete accounting from the preliminary injunction statement:

I'm thinking a judge may force them (NCAA) into enacting a Coasian Solution. How about this one: Dear NCAA, you must either (a) grant UND the same waiver as FSU, or (b) pay all of UND's bills for a moniker change (from facilities like REA, turf at The Al, to stationery letterhead), plus anything fans want to "exchange" for updated moniker materials, like jackets, jerseys, flags, license plate frames, anything. I say that last part as partial compensation for Complaint point 82 (see below). Yes, it could cost them much more in the end than if they'd have done it up front.

So you'll capitulate. Nice lesson. He's an educator. Tell me which those are again ....

What more appropriate to play than "Shining Star" after a goal from that line?

I'll let Bison fans explain DI v. DII to you. Until then, a primer: 7 DI titles v. 1 DII title. And UND at UNO should be epic.

Because there wouldn't be any doctors or lawyers in Fargo otherwise?

(sniff) (sniff) (s-s-s-s-sniff) I love the smell of lawsuit in the morning.

Psssst ..... UMass Minutemen Tennessee Volunteers North Carolina Tar Heels (reference to an NC Civil War unit)

Hockey and football both? PS - I'll live with the straight stripe if you sell it to me as "true to tradition". PPS - Would we need to start refering to UND Aerospace as "The Air Cavalry"? PPPS - The "Vegas" Gold is a nice touch also.

If that's the case, why do conferences have you fill out informational reports and do campus visits? Then why bother being the best you can? Didn't you just say that doesn't matter? Something doesn't add up there.

The stripe on the pant leg needs to be modified so it looks like a scabbard along the leg.

My calendar says "October 2006".

Moniker opponents not worrying about tactics and appropriate processes used and just worrying about getting "the result they wanted"? Say it ain't so. Who-da thunk? Any thoughts on this "Sioux-cia"? I believe, ladies and gentlemen, this is the theme continually espoused in UND appeals and it will continue when the Attorney General begins the "appeal" in the courts.

Anyone have the numbers on what it cost to own and operate Hyslop (as BB/VB home) and old REA (as hockey home)? I ask because $250k + (12 * $6500) = $328k. That doesn't sound like a lot of money to run two buildings of those sizes. (Staff, maintenance, utilities.) Is it because old REA and Hyslop were State owned and thus operational costs for them came from the general university facilities budget and not athletics? (Last note: Maybe it's me, but $328k doesn't sound like a lot of money to play and practice five teams (M/W BB, M/W Hockey, VB), and house soccer, in a facility like Engelstad Arena.)

Cops report their official activities to Apu at the QuickieMart?

Did I mention Grand Forks in the question? Answer the question: Did UNC's proximity to the Denver media market, and their agreements with various media outlets, (a) lend to, or (b) detract from UNC's chances of entrance to the Big Sky Conference?

Q: Did UNC's proximity to the Denver media market, and their agreements with various media outlets, (a) lend to, or (b) detract from UNC's chances of entrance to the Big Sky Conference?

Last time I looked (may not be 100% accurate), this is the structure that controls REA (board members listed with each): I struggle to even try to believe that Earl Strinden and Tom Clifford (much less Bob Gallager(!) and Aron Anderson) are out to "get" UND. Is the agreement perfect? Can't be. Great? Probably not. Does The Betty debt need to be paid off to free cash-flow for a DI move? "Nobody knows everything."

All Coach Glas ever described Beasley as is "really laid back". Something must have been really wrong in how all that played out.
