The Sicatoka

I often get frustrated with conservative offense calls when UND has a lead. However, I have to admit that long, all ground, munch up the yards, time-consuming fourth quarter drive to make it 38-14 was absolutely perfect to take any thoughts of "comeback" right out of UMD's head.

The Union College Dutchmen?

What's a TarHeel? Gee, it's a name that honors a North Carolina unit that fought for the pro-slavery side in the US Civil War. Wouldn't that be "hostile and abusive" to the folks who were slaves in that era?

The word was a "not-so-positive" term applied by others to a group of people (of a particular race) from a region. Now that group uses the term to describe themselves! But am I talking about "Sioux" or "Hoosiers"?

The standard is: It's not what you say, it's how I interpret what I think you might have said.

There was this Dean Blais guy who lived by "skate or sit", where nothing was owed to anyone for "putting in time". Who's skating better? Grieco earned another start.

I'd like to see Danny Freund at the helm for about a quarter-and-a-half (because his team is up so much that they're giving him the reps).

Will DI-A exist in 10, 15, or 20 years? Not in its current form. Heck the name is leaving soon for either FBS (DI-A) or FPS(DI-AA). The more appropriate question: Should UND strive to be exceptionally good at anything it endeavours? Yes (with the caveat that to do exceptionally well we must have the funding question completely answered and controlled). " ... pick a few things and do them exceptionally well, at the highest level." -- Charles E. Kupchella, February 21, 2002.

We know the NCAA is targetting

http://chronicle.com/prm/weekly/v50/i40/40a00502.htm That's a nice little conundrum they've created for themselves.

Dewey. Truman.

The guy who takes the "W" from the game for his team.

Doesn't the property run all the way from the Wellness Center (in the SW) to the corner of Gateway and Columbia (in the NE)?

UND last week -- Freshmen, NHL ice, veteran Maine team running the trap, made for a fast-paced, not time to think game: The lads looked like the game was going a million miles per hour to them because they were constantly being pushed and pressured. UND this week -- Freshmen, Olympic ice (like Wisconsin), youngish Mankato team, not normally a "trapper", more time and space: I'm hoping for more of a "like in Wisconsin" performance.

The post in question.

Hoosier and Cracker are synonyms in their origin. Hear "Hoosier", think "Cracker". Ms. Westerhaus gets away with "Cracker". So does Indiana. Indiana "Hoosiers" is Indiana "Crackers" is Indiana "poor white farmers". Indiana should be subject to the moniker ban (for its race-based moniker).

The Indiana University Crackers? No, no. Hoosiers. What's a "Hoosier"? So

But you repeat yourself.

God is a Sioux fan.

There's the answer I'm looking for. Any new legislation has to be approved by the total membership by a 2/3 super-majority vote. (See both Complaint and Brief for the Req. for Temp. Injunction.) You telling me that every school doesn't have some skeleton in the closet? "Model institution" Wisconsin got an "F" from the Black Coaches Association for its hiring practices and procedures. "Model institution" Iowa (football) and UM-Duluth (hockey) have pink visitor's locker rooms (anti-homosexual bias?). And all those "Devils" at DePaul, Duke, Arizona State .... Any one of those could easily be the next target in this NCAA Executive Committee "catalyst for social change" jihad. If you're a school and believe you're as pure as the driven snow, and will never be the target of the political 'fad de jour', vote for this; if you're sure that your ox will never be the next to be gored, vote "yes". But also remember that that "yes" vote may have created some new "non-allies" and that you could be wrong and could be the next target; What is it folks say about "payback" .... (I won't even get into the discussion of individual institutional control that the NCAA claims to cherish.) So is the check.

"Why even have polls?" To fill empty space and to use as a source of controversy to fill even more empty space. It's working here. At risk of repeating myself: The only 'poll' that matters is the 'pole' you raise a championship banner on.

In the event of a UND win, how does UND get a decision from an ND court enforced in Florence, AL, or St. Louis, MO, or Indianapolis, IN, or anywhere else not in ND? North Dakota laws or court rulings have no jurisdiction outside of North Dakota.

Is it safe to assume that no matter what happens in ND District Court the decision will be appealed by one side or the other (probably first to the ND Supreme Court, and then probably to the Federal court system)?

The two-for-ones count as "paid attendance." And since when is a fact a "shot"?
