The Sicatoka

Why not go above him? Who's he work for? That's what I do when I can't get a response.

No one likes price increases: Just ask the students about the 16.5% tuition increase. That tuition increase translates to increased costs for scholarships for UND teams as well. When you look at the UND Athletics budget, even if you held the line on every other cost item the scholarship line item goes up 16.5%, or $217,839.00, for FY 2005. Where's the extra revenue to cover that come from? The Sioux-per Gala raised about an extra $150,000.00 (per the June "Sioux Illustrated"). Take the four sections (302A, 303, 306, 314) being asked to join FSC this year and guess that those are about 1200 seats (5000 seats in the upper and those section are about 1/4 of them). For every two of those is an extra $110 to FSC this year: 1200/2 * $110 = $66,000. Between the Gala and the new FSC requirements you've raised $216,000.00. That roughly covers the tuition rate increase. Now remember: We started this exercise holding the line on every other FY 2005 budget line item. Just another reminder of one of the simple rules of life: Things cost money. PS - Where are those seats they let go? I'll pick them up.

Gotcha. Back to subject: I'd resend and try calling too. If nothing else, see if you can't face-to-face with him at the nearest golf outing. I've seen him at a couple of those too.

That letter went out to folks affected by the changes to Sections 302A, 303, 306, and 314. If you're a Coaches Club Level member of FSC, why'd they send it to you? You already were a member at or above the level in question and probably don't have seats in those sections.

I've sent email to Mark at that address and I've gotten responses in under five days each time. I'd say try resending or maybe call. He lists a telephone number.

As bad as I feel for Commie, I feel for Rhett Warrener. Why? He played for Buffalo against Dallas in the Cup Finals when Hull scored a goal that wouldn't have been a goal during any other game that season. (They had waived off a ton of similar goals during that season after video reviews. They didn't that time.) This time, in Game 6, the puck off of Warrener's teammate Martin Gelinas' skate wasn't (it seems) properly reviewed at the time. A review of that may have made it 3-2 Calgary.

I've come down on Sioux players for being unsportsmanlike or ungentlemanly. I'm being consistent.

Cheating is such an ugly word. I like to think of it as getting away with unsportsmanlike conduct. It sounds better, but it still wasn't called.

Just thoughts and questions aloud: - Would MSU-Mankato just name an interim head coach for this season from Holley's staff? New coaches like to bring their system and people in. It is pretty late to be doing that. - Did Holley leave for purely personal reasons or is there more going on at Mankato? They have made noise recently about budget problems, Title IX problems, and cutting programs.

spfreak: I found what you read. The story also mentions Ryan Duncan. Duncan's father, Bob, was a teammate of Tim O'Keefe's in their college days. Fanto? Hmmm .... I'm confused. I would have expected that to say .... EDIT: Wow is "jk" quick on the posting trigger.

From today's Grand Forks Herald: Please, other teams: Go after, be out to get, Travis Zajac. Forget about Bochenski, Murray, Stafford, Genoway, Fylling, Porter, et al.

And people in choir cry "Amen, Brother Mafia!"

That's right CRR. Valet parking and a moving sidewalk should be put in place immediately. :lol:

Universities are supposed to prepare students for life. The on-campus inconveniences are just a training ground for the real world.

I dread considering "experience" in 2005-2006.

Somebody flunked reading comprehension. I'd recommend re-reading the last sentence, the one in parenthesis, of the third paragraph of the story that "ScottM" posted to start this thread. PS - Next someone will be asking why UND used to almost exclusively use Christian sticks.

The students voted to build it and pay for it with student fees. Students will use the Wellness Center at no charge (beyond paying their semester student fees). That frat house will probably get more traffic going past, but no more than any house currently along University. The upside: Look at the workout room they're getting next door.

I'm wondering if that new paved road won't be a northward extention of Princeton Street. It wouldn't make much sense otherwise.

Trenbeath is wearing a neck brace so it's safe to guess the nature of his injury: neck. How'd he get hurt? EDIT: Scratch this question. I found the answer. What are the nature of Sundby's injuries (or do he and his family want that withheld)?

I thought the soccer field was going in southeast of REA, north of the Medical School building.

That mall is of a variety with a common name. Ralph made his money in Las Vegas from a hotel along a particular roadway. UND wants the area to acquire the moniker of University Village. Why not call it the "Village Strip" or "The Strip" instead?

They were well charged before it was taken out. Clear! (bzzzz-whump .... beep, .... beep, .... beep, .... )

'sprig': You can't put threads with titles like this out there any more. Now I have to go and re-store the portable defibrillator that was dug out for me.
