The Sicatoka

Heck, try to find the June 1 date in the manuals up to ten days ago. Geez I love the NCAA.

Interesting. I was going from the press release where it said:

Just the one room I thought.

Let's say you're a Diamond member. Last year -- Membership: $11000 6 at full: $2130 6 at reduced: $1600 (rounded to nearest $10) Total: $14730 This year -- Membership: $11000 6 at full: $2130 6 at full: $2130 Total: $15260 That's an increase of $530, or 3.6%. I'm not a Diamond member; I can't speak for them; but, in that scale, is that that big of a deal? Let's look at Coaches (who I think take the bigger hit): Last year -- Membership: $1100 2 at full: $710 2 at reduced: $530 (rounded to nearest $10) Total: $2340 This year -- Membership: $1100 2 at full: $710 2 at full: $710 Total: $2520 That's an increase of just $180, but 7.7% for Coaches members. Another scenario: If last year's posted "$355" for a ticket would be $370 to $385 (4 to 8%), would that be as big of an issue? I'm trying to understand the thoughts and emotions in this from all Sioux fans.

I'm still surprised that Bison fans are so worried about what a "lil' ol' DII" is doing. You'd think they'd have one or two other matters to attend to.

End of the semester. Now I'm asking "which" semester. The meeting Monday was final draft. I'm wondering when the Herald is going to get it and put it out there for the rest of us. I hope they plan to.

Another Grace Bowen type?

They have to pay the bills. I'm sure none of us are happy about ever-increasing costs, and that includes Tom Buning.

What you just said is, "Sun rises in the east." I'm just trying to find what part of this "Driveforshow" has a problem with so I can understand their point of view.

I'm not following what you are trying to say. Help me here. You still have to be Diamond or Emerald club to buy "behind the benches", right? Now, instead of last year's option to buy 6 seats at full price, 6 seats at reduced price now it's option to buy 12 seats at full price? If that's the case, if the person doesn't want all 12 behind the benches, can't UND sell another Diamond or Emerald membership and sell the unclaimed (by the first member's) seats behind the benches? Before: Diamond Member A: six full, six reduced. Now: Diamond Member A: say only goes for 8 full (not all 12 as last year, because of no reduction). Diamond Member B (new member!): buys 4(?) at full. I guess I see a new Diamond Club member in FSC in that deal. What am I not seeing in that scenario (if it's right)?

At this point I'd only be speculating. Let's wait for the "what and where" on this.

I'm telling you to be careful in that glass house.

Scamming FEMA after a flood was a Fargodome ploy I believe. And then I believe NDSU took the short end of a stick from Fargodome after that. How'd that all ever come out in the courts? As far as possible donations, you need to look at other sections of this board.

I was thinking Chester Fritz was second on the all-time list.

Ask me after tomorrow.

I say it's Dirty with the stipulation he gets Section 107, Row 1, seats 1-4 in REA (all events) for the rest of eternity. Yo 'Dog, (I've been just waiting to get a chance to say that ) where'd you hear about this announcement for tomorrow?

Well what'd they expect? You gotta keep that personal bartender on retainer even when you're working.

That would be good. Question: Are schools working deals with providers like Sirius or XM? Are conferences? Or are just networks (for example, Westwood One) working with providers and then going to get schools/conferences for broadcast?

From article: That is directly contradictory to what Fox News at Nine (from Fargo) sports reported last night. Their report stated that Fullerton was tasked with putting together examinations of both 10 and 12 team conference alignments. Who does one believe? I guess it's not just conference commissioners that we have to watch every word of.

All games are in "The Linc" in Philly and, based on recent history, they'll have plenty no matter who's playing.

This Saturday on ESPN2, National Semifinals: UMass and Maryland at 10:30 Central Syracuse and Virginia at 1:00 Central Winners play on Memorial Day at noon Central for the title on ESPN.

Dude, that quote was in an article last week. Old news. I trust Douple's words to the press as much as any other conference commissioner's.

Altru's press release http://www.altru.org/aboutus/5.23.2006.htm GF Herald http://www.grandforks.com/mld/grandforks/14649013.htm

Nate Miller on Twin Cities radio (earlier today) disagrees with you on the bolded point. He said Lindy Ruff won't put up with poor defensive play and that's why Vanek sits. In the clutch-and-grab NHL you could get away with one guy per shift being one-dimensional. In a wide-open game you need guys playing both O and D up and down the ice. Expect NHL teams to make picks based on that idea.
