The Sicatoka

Now CHI picks up Bailey from NYI and signing rights to Perry from TBL. They're building a wall, a mean wall, around Bedard.

Well they are both red and black ...

The Ottawa Hurricanes? The Carolina Senators?

Why'd I just think of "Tyson Jost".

NDSU just got a $5M State bailout to prevent deeper cuts than already happening in NDSU academics. Turning around and paying a $5M NCAA buy-in would get a pretty good stink-eye from skeptics around the State, especially in the Legislature. Even if it came from donors it'd get a lot of negative feedback about priorities at NDSU and their donor base. PS - You still need a bona fide invitation to move up.

From the link: If this passes the size of the Alerus Center just became a non-factor.

He looks like WRs from SIU, or ISUred, or JMU. And that makes me smile.

You have to wonder if Toivanen signing with the Vikings didn't help make the case that you can get there from here.

Paye, Kuntz, Deng, ... This post aged well.

The 701 is a start, and a good message to "old skool" boosters and parents: This isn't willy-nilly throw money at you; there is some (academic) work involved. Even B'ville FB fans are skeptical of that "NDSU FB NIL" setup. If you're going to do it I'd rather see some gravitas in the organization and organizers, and not some website with "NIL" in the URL. Gravitas, like the hospital or one of the docs from it, or Rydell, or AE2S, or Burian Associates, or such.

Is where I say, "Deng ... look at that guy! Deng, he's big and fast."

24 hours ago VGK had 5 Gs: LTIR, 3 UFAs, and Logan Thompson (signed through 24-25). After signing Hill (UFA), I'd guess Thompson/Hill is the tandem and Lehner's career is over and he stays LTIR. At least VGK didn't sign Hill to an 8 year or some nonsense.

I don't get VGK trading an original misfit (R Smith) to PIT. I have a feeling https://www.capfriendly.com/ is going to be very busy over the next week.

The 'hawks bring in two from BOS (Hall, Foligno) ... a former high pick and some snarl. I'd say they're putting things around "the investment" to teach it and protect it.

So Dakota Dunes, SD, is better? (Ferner)

You didn't state that. And what would a Pollard at least 2x present size do.

Foundations have been poured. We're way past a "change order" to literally change the entire project scope.

It'd be nice if you had the Pollard Center oriented correctly to University and Columbia. And there's not space for a football field due to MVII and the softball field. Other than that ... https://www.google.com/maps/place/Grand+Forks,+ND/@47.920028,-97.0624684,775m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m6!3m5!1s0x52c681355bbc5e25:0xb6b94d87c5f3d5a!8m2!3d47.9252568!4d-97.0328547!16zL20vMHlwMjE?entry=ttu

Is that Calgary in the rubble under that dust cloud?
