The Sicatoka

"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"?

C'mon, it's faster than that.

You're assuming the students wouldn't be asked to vote on this for themselves. They did vote themselves the fee increase for the Wellness Center. If it's important to them they'll vote accordingly.

I assume you all understand that "Seminole" loosely translated means "Unconquered".

Grand Forks pre-flood is a city that was well situated to look at its glorious past, and slide away into oblivion. Grand Forks post-flood is a city that finally realized what it can accomplish when challenged, and is finally believing in itself and reaching for more. The city lost some irreplacable things; the city didn't have an easy experience; which city is better? Grand Forks post flood.

Ev'ry where I go, from 'lerus to REA, It's Sica, "Go!", Sicatoka, "Yo Yo!", and then the Sioux go out and play. You can't touch this. (slide-shuffles off) Now there friends is a Halloween nightmare.

Does the WCC want to leave the Pacific time zone and cross the Rockies? Travel, right?

You're not alone.

Be happy: I could've started rapping again.

No, more like the "Cowardly Lion" from Oz. Ask PCM. He'll explain.

I guess you need to know a word's pedigree.

Is UMD still running that modified "run and shoot" or is that gone to Mankato?

A friend rolled this thought out to me: If the NCAA is "all about the student-athlete" (hold down the laughter) why does the number of fans in the stands matter at all? Shouldn't the NCAA be most interested in getting maximum benefit to student-athletes (85 football scholarships plus the other required scholarships for DI-A) rather than how many people are in the stands? If a school has the money to fund DI-A (say they had a major benefactor or endowment), and as long as student-athletes benefitted from the scholarships, why would it matter if the school played in front of even an empty grandstand? Or is the NCAA really not all about the student-athlete?

Touche.

Step 1: Rink.

You expected less from the NCAA Executive Committee, a group of exclusively university presidents? Read this excerpt from "The Shadow University". You'll understand (not like you don't already). (More excerpts here.) Sound familiar, or exactly like Myles "the NCAA is a catalyst for social change" Brand? What's most noteworthy to me in this is that Dr. Charles E. Kupchella is standing up for true liberty. PS - Before folks start ripping on the book as conservative clap-trap, it'd be good to note one of the co-authors is a Massachusetts ACLU attorney!

From "PLAINTIFF

That's on a bumpersticker in Brookings this week.

Real or "sudo"?

NDSU is being hurt because of their strength of schedule so far. (None of their opponents to date is over 0.500.)

Believe it or not, NDSU's toughest games are ahead. Up to this point, no one 'SU has played has a better than 0.500 record! http://www.mratings.com/team.php?tm=300675
