The Sicatoka

PCM blew more than the Diggler DQ and Hennen predictions. My section was awake the whole time without my assistance. I had it 8-3 Prpich over Peluso on the punch counter. In 10-point-must scoring I'd have given the round to Prpich 10-7. By my understanding of the rules, Prpich will have to sit on October 17. Why exhibitions count if you draw a penalty (Schneider vs. Manitoba in 10/2001) but don't count if you have to sit out makes about as much sense as any NCAA rule. The throw-back jerseys? Throw 'em back. You can't tell the players apart.

Wilson actually threw - to open receivers down the middle, and - to a tight end. I know, I know, it's crazy-talk. When Klosterman held it gave a three-dimensional threat: kick, pass, or maybe he'd just take off around the corner.

Is it possible to be the UNDerdog in your own barn that you are 15-4 in? Guess so.

I wonder if he was on the call or read it here? http://www.grandforks.com/mld/grandforks/sports/6929724.htm

If this were a contest where you get 3 points for picking the captain and one point for naming the name of an alternate, I'd have to say "sioux fan in phoenix" won. They may have picked an "A" incorrectly, but they got the big three points for picking Schneider with a "C" and a point for Hale with an "A" for four points. "Siouxhockey03" would come in second with 3 points: right three names, wrong order. "redwing77" gets 2.5 points for that "Lundbohm or Parise" cop-out.

From the October 4 GF Herald:

Your link was fine.

The Al bought some more adjoining land over the summer. More parking is planned. UND also made mention of putting in a parking ramp during the summer. They never said where. How about between Harvard and Cambridge Streets south of Sixth Avenue North.

That number is the "capped out" max in their old barn. Yes, they averaged "sold out" for the season. They'll probably take a good run at #1 total and #1 average in NCAA hockey attendance this season. Not having people right behind them on the glass has to make goalies appreciate the place.

How bad was the goaltending? Well .... not really that bad. http://www.grandforks.com/mld/grandforks/sports/6920921.htm

I didn't hear Ziegelmann. I just heard Hakstol on with Tim and Swyg say "one of the young guys" and "not Jake" in reference to the starting goalie against Duluth. He didn't specifically say Ziggy. Are you sure he's the guy?

I thought fans were tough. Check out what one of the players thinks: http://www.grandforks.com/mld/grandforks/sports/6911672.htm One for sixteen isn't getting it done. How about we talk about five for twenty next week.

Larger Wellness Center passes advisory student vote.

If they ran the net from the top of the glass to the bottom edge of the electronic ring it would minimize the sight-line impact for the great majority of folks and yet still protect the crowd. I'm not too worried about the stray puck doing much damage in the upper deck. Now it's time to go work on that "invisible netting" patent.

First, there's no dishonor in being fourth in the WCHA and losing to the CCHA regular season champion in the NCAAs. (Hey, Michigan and Michigan State must have taken a butt-whuppin' from them all season.) Next, 10 non-conference games (including one against Frozen Four team Michigan) or 28 conference games: If UND wasn't properly prepared to play Ferris, which regular season competition didn't prepare them for it?

The REA-SC is going west of the REA-Olympic Arena. What is going in to the north is talked about in this thread.

Someone call Larimore High School. Their mascot is loose in Engelstad Arena.

Interesting article I found recently: http://www.ncaa.org/news/2003/20030818/active/4017n04.html

We'll never be able to find out considering Dale Lennon's statements after this season's game.

Let's see ... to have four tickets in the lower bowl in a Coaches Club section like 106 or 107: Fighting Sioux Club Membership: $1100 Two tickets at full price: $690 Two tickets at 1/3 off: $460 Total: $2250 Assume 23 home games plus 3 playoff games for 26 dates. That would be 104 "seats." $2250/104 = $21.63 That's to sit in the "red" on this map. Then run it if you sit in the "green." I'll let you figure out (using the link) what each seat should cost "on the street" so you don't feel "overcharged." Thank you.

I know we'd all like to have everything cost exactly what we think it should. However, the vendor has to cover their production expenses. Another way to look at this: There isn't much difference between a Ford Taurus and a Mercury Sable. Yet, the Sable consistently costs more, and even more than the differences alone. Your choices are: Buy the Sable Buy the Taurus Walk This is about maximizing revenues. Isn't that what we all are about?

Dear GF Herald Editorial Board: I don't see a game on October 13. I see one on October 18. I got exactly that when I paid $80 and got a football season ticket. That works out to roughly $13 per game. Variable pricing has been in effect for UND Hockey since the opening of Ralph Engelstad Arena. Now please study up on the ticket pricing for UND Athletics. http://www.fightingsioux.com/info/ticket/hockey.asp http://www.fightingsioux.com/info/ticket/football.asp http://www.fightingsioux.com/info/ticket/bball.asp Thank you.

What did I say? There was a group aimed at DI. There was a group less in favor of it. Rather than taking a "let's look at this together" approach and taking a little more time to study the issues as a group, with strength in numbers, one subset, when they didn't get the answer they desired, moved. Now everyone is left in the lurch. A DI NCC may have been a solution. However, go back and look at the situation objectively. Under this DIAA NCC scenario: UN-Omaha has said they'd go to the MIAA. Augustana has hinted at going to the NSIC rather than go DIAA. At best what's left is UND, NDSU, SDSU, UNC, USD, SCSU, and MSUM, and maybe UM-Duluth. However, would all the Minnesota schools have stayed or would they have gone with the lower-cost DII solution of the NSIC as well? In light of the current situation it appears that rather than moving as a group it is everyone for themselves. Each appears to be taking a different approach. Personally, I'd say the wise ones are following the reports of professional consultants (whether theirs or someone else's) on the issue. They say to establish (in order): Campus Consensus Finances and Revenue Streams Strategic Plan (for people and facilities) Conference Affiliation, Then Move to DIAA.
