The Sicatoka

Shoulder. Friday night at CC.

I won't disagree with what you say save for one word: One man's "booming" is another man's "ugly sprawl" and sprawl causes a loss of sense of community in my experience (and I've lived in four states and both Fargo and Grand Forks).

With Northern Colorado getting an official look, those magic words really work for DU: Geography. Media market.

Ah yes, Jeff Dubay: the man with WCHA insight matched only by Shooter and Grandpa Sid.

Why not move it to the Fargo Civic and see how many students would go to an off-campus arena?

Yeah, that "12" in there means he's a sophomore.

Remember: Cavanaugh was the source of all of their problems.

Huh? "Sioux Sports Network" is FSSN because it is properly called the "Fighting Sioux Sports Network". The FSSN carries every Sioux home hockey game. Period. There is an "FSN" also, more properly called in these part, "FSN North". That network covers a team that got swept at home by Michigan Tech last weekend. FSN North on CableOne in Fargo is channel 33. FSSN is only aired on CableOne during FSSN (note the distinction) game broadcasts and is on channel 44. (They take the silly shopping channel off and put something good on TV for a change.) Now if you're a Midco Cable customer, look here. When it comes to this (weekly) conversation, I'm with CRR.

WDAZ has been doing its own news for a long, long time. However, they do share Wheelie the Weather Guy. (He pre-tapes the weather for WDAZ.) I'm not sure what would ever happen to change that. WDAZ spends time looking at TRF/Grafton/Devils Lake stories. WDAY spends more on Fergus Falls/Jamestown/Wahpeton. In terms of the FCC, what I think GF is missing is that high-power AM station that carries like a KFYR or a KFGO or a KSJB.

" ... all Sioux home hockey games ... " ring any bells?

(on a radio somewhere in the upper Midwest) He got the shot away but he came up "Notermann". Puck went over the glass. Face-off in the right circle. On thread topic: NE will make McNabb beat them using something other than Westbrook. TO, play or not, will be a non-factor. Pats cover the spread.

(on a PA system somewhere in the upper Midwest) ... Canuck, at 5:09. That's Canuck, u-u-u-un-n-nassisted, at 5:09. (on a radio broadcast somewhere in the upper Midwest) What a play by Canuck: saw the errant move, picked up the play, and tucked away the loose change before anyone even knew it was there. Great play.

I'd guess that post-game their goal would be to do what they did at old REA: Send most of the cars east on either University or Second Avenue North.

Found it.

Aren't they rebuilding the main runway out there (GF AFB) this summer?

I think everyone, except maybe Wilber, will agree.

Your statements don't really match up. Here's why: Not flying bombers to Moscow? Sure, I'll agree. But the bombers are at Minot AFB, not GF AFB. Minot would be hurt by that, not GF, right? GF AFB is a tanker, a.k.a. air-refueling, base. There are no -52s or -1s at GF. Fargo would be dinged. GF or Minot would be seriously hurt, a problem for the whole state. I'd recommend reading the thread from this summer. There are some good details in there (along with the standard banter and bickering).

I knew this had been hashed through at least once here already: last summer.

It's been in the works since the announcement of construction of The Betty. They are working to raise $8 to 16 million. This capital campaign is in addition to their efforts to raise funds for immediate needs (i.e. current budget). I don't know how they are doing or how far along they are, but The Betty is up and running.

The next question is: How would Fargo/NDSU/North Dakota be affected by the Air National Guard Base in Fargo being closed? There are only three tanker/refueler bases left in the USAF. One is Grand Forks. (In the last BRAC they went from near double-digits to three.)

I'm sure Lucia, Woog, and Frank M. have those tapes chained to a cinder block bound for the bottom center "of the big lake they called 'Gitche Gumee'".
