The Sicatoka

Not according to RT, back then, would've it been cheaper to redo the Hyslop. I heard him say it at Boosters. Part of the issue was renovation would have meant asbestos remediation work --> big bucks. (Asbestos is best left alone. It's fine if you leave it alone and don't mess with it. Once you tear into it you have to follow all of the OSHA and EPA regulations.) And all of those things could have been done. There's just one item not addressed in that list: Total (all sports) available training space. That issue wouldn't have been addressed.

Looking at this from a profit and loss point of view, and using the 2004 EADA data, if you only want UND playing sports that it profits at then say good-bye to everything except mens hockey and womens basketball. And I've given the easy solution to you all already: Rework old REA into a new basketball facility. It held 6067 for hockey so it'd hold more for basketball. If The Betty isn't good enough, why aren't basketball fans out raising the funds for an arena? It's not like they're short from paying for The Betty.

I'm tellin' ya, they'd rather play them in The Ralph (think: Club Rooms and suites). Then again, if someone ponied up the bling I still think moving the remaining sports out of Hyslop to The Betty and renovating old REA for BB/VB only wouldn't be a bad solution either. Getting Athletics completely out of Hyslop would open that space up for academic buidings down the road which wouldn't be a bad thing. The only "catch" in this notion is "Hyslop pool". Then again, I thought I read a musing by someone in student government about adding an aquatic center to the new Wellness Center.

I dunno. Some grassy field or park with trees maybe?

Too many folks trying to ride zebras would be my guess.

Why is it easier to play on the road this year? My suspicion is "fewer distractions".

Clean out completely. Start anew.

Sure she does, just the one that grows peaches, not the one that docks lakers. ;)

Folks, honestly, I'm sure the hope is to play in The Ralph more often. Why? - it would mean attendance is up to where you need The Ralph - the Club Rooms would be open PS - I finally saw The Al in basketball configuration. If 13500 spread around a football field can make the place tough for visitors I'm guessing 6000-9000 for hoop would feel about the same for a road team.

From the above Herald link: " ... they had already heard enough"? Is that how academic inquiry is supposed to work? They'd heard what they'd wanted to hear and that was "enough"? This quote makes me feel like I'm watching an episode of "South Park" with Mike Nowacki starring as "Kyle".

So, who gets to pick the value set the NCAA protects? The Ayatollah Myles Brand? My most protected value is the First Amendment to the Constitution. How ya like me now, Komrad "Catalyst for Social Change"? PS - Ayatollah Brand gave that speech yesterday in .... Omaha! ;)

Let's put those two out (Travis and Darcy Zajac) out with Andrew Kozek. Imagine Woog .... "Tajac scores on great passes from Dajac and Kojak."

Huh? Three freshmen in the REA opening game? Uh, no. Opening Night at REA: 3 Matt Jones <-- FR 4 David Hale 5 David Lundbohm 7 Brandon Bochenski <-- FR 8 Nick Fuher <-- FR 10 Rory McMahon <-- FR 13 Brendan Connelly 16 Kevin Spiewak 17 Ryan Connelly <-- FR 18 Tim Skarperud 19 Ryan Bayda 20 James Massen <-- FR 22 Brian Canady <-- FR 23 Aaron Schneekloth 24 Chris Leinweber 25 Ryan Hale 26 Jason Notermann 27 Chad Mazurak 30 Jake Brandt <-- FR 35 Andy Kollar Freshman scratches that night: 6 Andy Schneider (DQ'd from fight v. Manitoba) 9 Chris Fournier 21 Derek Faul

Didn't you read my epiphany? Not all would like all aspects of it, but I have to get strong creativity points just the same. So, like I said, give me the power.

Wouldn't Sundby be "medical hardship year" eligible for 2005 and still be a sophomore for 2006?

So Roland went to the other side of the ball .... twice!

German was a FB at South. It's happened before at UND that a two-player in HS was recruited for one side of the ball and ends up on the other, for example, think "#5" and "Wahpeton" in recent history. There is a TE ("sudo"-receiver ) on that list, and I wouldn't be surprised to see a QB looked at for the WR position depending on how all of the QBs on the roster develop over time.

10/10, A+, gold star, and a happy-smiley face is your score on today's quiz. I suspect others may get detention.

The schools should be "pooling" on the common issues. What you'd call that pooling in legal language is "class action."

The Bronson Property, that The Ralph sits on, is in Fargo? No, you wish that. I'd like to see a Bison fan who is a polite guest.

I'd guess "hold" moreso because of the dawning of home theatres and on-demand movies.

Oh, in her prime I'd have loved to used Dolly for something. There's not a lot of that, but why not find it and use it is what I'm saying. Again:

No, that'd be all the 1980s hair bands.

Not even a little love for "Who's your Daddy?" And I'll give you that McGraw's tune is the first one I'd pull off that list. The key point to my previous epiphany is this: Up-tempo, fun music cut and ready at the best parts. (Who cares about "genre" as long as the crowd gets going.) Still, what would be interesting to know is where the rowdier, livelier crowd will be: - Toby Keith at The Ralph - Nickelback at the Fargodome
