The Sicatoka

For the folks that just don't "get" what Dr. Kupchella is doing:

Put another way: "You've got to ask yourself a question: Do I feel lucky? Well, do ya, punk?" ----> Dirty Chuck?

Normally letters are addressed to a person care of (c/o) a company or organization. The person is a part of a larger entity, the larger entity being the driver or the real power and force, thus the person is under the "care of". (If a company is listed first, a particular intended receiver is listed second and is listed as "Attn: (name here)".) For example, UND's letter from August 30, 2005: Given this passage in the letter:

It's too bad he didn't send it Tuesday so it would have had that "06-06-06" date.

Geez, I gave you that clue a week ago in Post #799 of this thread.

And a lot of senior leaders. We had but two seniors and made it (nearly) that far.

At least he's not "hostile and abusive" (by whatever standard they use to define that).

Geez Dr. K, don't hold back, tell us what's on your mind. I liked:

The message I hear from fellow alumni is the message that the report to Kupchella gave: Have solid answers on cost, and decent answers on conference. Given answers to those two, I don't see any group (save maybe faculty) saying just plain "no way" the notion.

You shall address Him by His formal address at all times: The Oshie.

I sure hope someone whispered "guaranteed coverage area" into Tom Buning's ear before negotiations.

Tim Hennessy has worked at about every AM station in GF. Radio people move around in markets. Ask KFGO's, no WDAY's, no KFGO's "Jack and Sandy."

Ho-o-o-o-o-ogan! I see no-thing! I hear no-o-othing! Amazing point. As good as Mel Brooks.

Do I want to give Mel Brooks from $66 to over $200 to attend "The Producers"? At least Ralph didn't make a buck off of his "celebrations" of Hitler.

The Herald knows they're sold now too! http://www.grandforks.com/mld/grandforks/14763367.htm

Clear Channel is corporate. Leighton is local and employee-owned. I'd guess that CC (deeper corporate pockets) would be the one offering the larger up-front cash. Owning and licensing the rights, UND can include a "we approve the announcer" clause in any deal. Repeat after me, "We want Tim."

I listen to KFGO primarily now (AM at least) because they carry Sioux hockey. If Sioux hockey were to move to a new station, I'd likely follow.

If they were tongue-in-cheek events (as they were by the evidence) at the Nazis (ala Mel Brooks' "Springtime for Hitler" in the musical "The Producers", which is classic tongue-in-cheek) what's wrong with that? Note to self: Defer any donations from Mel Brooks.

For this conversation assume the date is June 6, 1944. It's "D-Day." The Allied troops are storming the Normandy beach. The end of the Third Reich is at hand (but we don't know it yet). Ralph Louis Engelstad is a 14 year old boy in Thief River Falls, MN. (DOB: Jan 28, 1930) How many people that boy knew never came home? Would that cause some strange facination with WWII? He spent some very formative years (ages 9 to 15) with his life dominated by WWII. Collecting cars and other significant items from Allied and Axis forces only makes sense. Did he do some really dumb things (with his collections) along the way, things he apologized for? Yup. Don't we all do dumb things now and then? But would collecting things make him a Commie, a Nazi, a Doughboy, or a Kamikazi (sp)?

Where else would one get Kona but Kona? http://www.lioncoffee.com/

Fresh rhubarb pie at my place later tonight.

Again the "$700k" number comes up. Can we see how the SUs are doing (their budgets)? Can we see what the SUs asked for and got in up-front money for the move? C'mon. These are easy things. Show, so UND can find the key take-aways.

Really? Dang. And here I thought UND was up seven DI titles to zero. Must be the math.

That's the first, of the things you list, that I'd expect to see. Why (in any scenario with UNO as a DII) does UNO want to keep flying to Washington for football when the MIAA is a very strong conference and they are right next door.

Somebody has to check the math.
