Nick Coleman = Don Quixote, and he needs to find a new windmill.

A photo with the mop and the robe. How classically Commy.

The Jacks have broadcast deals for volleyball, soccer, softball, and baseball? That has to be captivating radio. If UND were to "package" differently, I think you'd have to mix a "high want/high value" with a lower category. However, to me, I think the most important thing for UND going forward is a larger Sioux Basketball radio network. Get coverage (even on FMs) beyond 40 miles of Grand Forks. It's that or get more games on FSSN. Expose the product.

Like I said: Given the choice, yes, KFYR is the better one to have. That low AM frequency goes places.

Vaht?

People, especially those who've been on the (new) job for a full year without a vacation, don't take vacations? The wise do not declare a winner until the final horn sounds.

A (heaven forbid) "no Toews" scenario would mean UND'd become a team dependent on team defense (all those top-end defensemen) and power play opportunities. If Toews is in the fold, you split he and Oshie onto two different lines and make the other teams decide which one to deal with with their checking line. You become more explosive offensively, less special teams play dependent, with Toews on the roster (while still playing tight team defense).

Two committees. All the study before that (trust me). It's "poop or get off the potty" time.

"Half a C-note"?

I've forgotten more than you'll ever know.

You're old. You have to.

I'd have an easy time believing Parise will be back, except for this.

I have no knowledge of or contact with African waterways.

Or maybe CEK's way of telling folks, "You've told me the money would be there, show me."

You must have me confused with PCM when it comes to "old".

You got the idea to charge for copying an idea when I charged you for copying one of my ideas. Ha-HA!

Going back to the post that started this thread, what jumps out: - Genoway is playing D --> 8 defensemen. - Forney is coming now --> 14th forward. Michael, I hope you're ready for the WCHA. - Trupp is still a 2007 recruit. - Hunter Bishop is reported to be coming this fall --> 15th forward, just as speculated. On other topics, the question was, "what if Parise leaves?" The answer is Anthony Grieco. Tune in again tomorrow for "As the Roster Turns".

You may be wrong; you may be right; all we know for sure is that when the rubber met the road, keeping UND Hockey was more important to (profit-driven corporate) Clear Channel. Either way, how terrible to be losing UND radio listeners to UND TV viewers. PS - The number of folks that turn on the TV, mute it, and then turn on the radio for Tim Hennessy (instead of Pat Sweeny) is sizable. Nothing against Pat, but I admit to doing it. I prefer Tim.

Of course there's humor in the other side of that coin as well. From the In-Forum link above:

If (when?) UND goes DI it's almost a given that UN-Omaha is going to the MIAA. Would the NCC be able to lure Michigan Tech and Northern Michigan from the GLIAC? Travel from those two to SCSU, MSU-Mankato, UM-Duluth, Augustana, and USD wouldn't be too bad. (It's the UND and UNO trips that get really long for the Upper Peninsula schools.) Then again, if any other NCC school is making any type of gesture at DI (SCSU? USD?) would Tech or Northern want to leave the stability of the GLIAC? It's going to get more confusing before clearer.

Speaking about carrying NDSU broadcasts:

If memory serves, wasn't Sioux Football on KFYR and Bison Football (under agreement with WDAY) on KXMR last season? If CCND now has UMary Football, and because the Herald story on UND's contract specifically says UND Football is on KFYR, and because negotiations between CCND and NDSU broke off (down?), does that leave NDSU Bison Football as the "odd-man out" on those stations?

Back to the issue at hand: Why is it that Potts is the bad guy when 10 of 11 NDUS university presidents don't seem to have any (explosively public) issues with him?

If you are taking an on-line or correspondence course through UND many of those courses/programs require that exams be given by a proctor known to UND. Thus, given UND's existing offices to support UND's Medical School at the VA Hospital in north Fargo, that is where many folks are able to find a UND proctor for exams. Believe it or not, the issue wasn't the courses or the office space as much as a sign that said, "UND Fargo."

'dagies': You should get those folks to an audiologist. My guess is they're offended because they're hearing "back oriface."
