The Sicatoka

Assuming ftnsiouxhockey is correct, let's see ... Considering I had to only add an exhibition and two non-conference games, but those games are in a pre-season tournament (and as such don't count against the "season maximum" number of games) I think I have the "rivals schedule" figured out.

There are quite a few 12 team conferences out there. It makes scheduling pretty simple for some sports. In football you split into two six-team divisions and play the five you're with and half of the other: instant eight-game schedule. If teams only played 10 games, you play a "championship" game between divisions for the eleventh game. Heck, you could just play within your conference and have 11 games. (The GLIAC is very close to that.) In basketball you play the other 11 teams twice each: 22 game basketball schedule. Having that in hand makes budgeting for travel every year pretty straight-forward.

Now jloos is into the clouding with fact and reality gig.

Come on PCM, quit clouding things with fact and reality.

A verbal is worth all the paper it's put on. This means UND has a signed national letter of intent (or else they couldn't put out the press release). I'll take the signature over a verbal, thank you.

DW: Rusti, Rousa, Ricka, Rasti-whatsyourname, tell me about playing on a line with Pike Mrpi-cha. Interviewee: Vaht?

How about "The Myth Busters!": Toews, Kozek, and Watkins. Why "The Myth Busters!"? Because how will Doug Woog be able to comprehend three Canadians, each in their teens, playing for UND? Of course we have to put together a line of first names that Woog is sure foul up: Rastislav Spirko Rylan Kaip, .... and Mike Prpich.

Come on, seriously, no you don't.

Clearly more than 15000. It's their hoops home too.

Why would all of those big-time places/venues bid? Don't they know "nobody cares about college hockey". San Antonio is a nice town. They have some pubs on the Riverwalk. Tampa would be fun. You could "off day" in Orlando. Washington DC wouldn't be a bad "off day" either.

Don't you know ... Don't you know ... Don't you know ... Don't you know ... Don't you know ... Don't you know ... Don't you know ... Don't you know ... Don't you know ... Don't you know ... Don't you know ... Don't you know ... Don't you know ... Don't you know ... Don't you know ... Don't you know ... Don't you know ... Don't you know ... (scr-r-r-ratch) ... it's true .....

I thought the Geneva Convention precluded such heinous acts toward people confined like that.

It's called a homonym and you almost got it.

Vaht?

Yeah, right, like you'd have one of those. Go back to cranking your phonograph player.

Let's see 2005, 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001 .... that's two in the last five. The lad has some math issues. With skills like that are we sure he shouldn't have said " .... to three NCAA title games in my six years here ..."? But the truth comes out here:

Tough to release a number that wasn't set at the time. If Hak has signed a contract you should be able to request the information from UND because all state employee salaries are public record. However, doing so could also be perceived as, how'd jimdahl say it, "unseemly" if you're not a member of the media.

Hello, my name is The Sicatoka and I'm here to munch some feathers at "The Crow Bar" with some of the rest of you. When Mr. Hakstol was hired, due to the process by which he was hired, I made the comment that he would now face the "shortest leash ever". During the season I was pretty sure that leash was tightening. Now, however, Mr. Hakstol has added more than a few links into that chain. Pass the ketchup.

They are scheduling all home games next year for The Betty is what I heard second-hand yesterday. That's forced?

You forgot "tuition waivers", which both parties give.

What emotion? Hak took a team to the last game. That's fact. And Hak could probably use that to lobby for a raise right now. (If you saw emotion in that, could it be that you are somewhat interested in money today, for whatever reasons, as evidenced by this?) About salaries, Eaves at Wisconsin makes about $138,000 and is looking for more according to this.

Me Kupchella? Uh, no. However, I'd like the facts and the actuals before I crucify people. That way I'm sure I got the right ones. The link I have isn't good any more, but I copied the Dakota Student article where it said, in reference to the transfer of REA to ....

That's some serious shizzle-fo-fah-mah-jizzle!
