The Sicatoka

Bad news: Wayne's not giving up wearing the sweater vest with a sport coat behind the desk. Maybe call Jagr; he always seems to have miles left.

When a MLB franchise slides, start first by looking at their minor league system.

If by "weird" you mean 7 miles.

@SpudsSioux that Fleece name is so familiar. Did he play for the Force? Did a sibling?

The PAC commish speaking tomorrow ... ... followed by a rush to the lifeboats.

Schlossman is vindicated from the other day!

In the spirit of continuing to poke in good fun at @stoneySIOUX and @AJS ... and now @SpudsSioux ... today is their Christmas Eve! They leave Krampade out by the fireplace tonight! " ... the NLIs were hung by the chimney with care, in hopes that in morning there'd be signatures there ... "

You trying to fatten me up (more)?

There are two bills in the US Senate that may impact NIL collaboratives (less likely to impact Alston grants). Should be good times.

I thought @Goon gave up the heaters long ago.

Like this guy? That's one recruit tracking map.

Well, tomorrow is a holy day on the calendars of @stoneySIOUX and @AJS. I expect both will be burning alms* before their recruiting shrines and saying hourly "Our Parise" prayers**. *Not sure what stoney will be burning **If you don't get that humor, you're young, Sonmor and Nanne are names you should know, and Zach Parise was, is, and forever shall be, the (alleged) "savior" of UND Hockey.

So one day Jack Michaels will be saying “ … and the starting corners are Island Boy and Hot Sauce … “

< checks calendar > Yup, it’s almost August.

Colorado’s move tells me where, and where not, it is more lucrative going forward.

There is no out clause but time, 2036.

The ACC grant of rights is a near unbeatable contract for media rights. It essentially locks them together to 2036. Like I said, UW/UO are partial share value to the B1G or a full from the BXII.

I don’t need your money.

OTT or BUF will likely replace BOS in the playoffs in spring.

Folks have too many moving parts: - 4 to BXII - 4 to B1G* (or maybe 2, with 2 to ACC) - 2 join with MWC under some name One conference lives on; one name dies. That's it. That's all the motion. I say that because schools/conferences are looking for safe harbors in this economy, not high risk, only value propositions. OU/UT added value to SEC; no others could. USC/UCLA added value to the B1G; no others could. Why will WasSU and OrSU be without a chair when the PAC music stops? Least value, no value to B1G, SEC, ACC, or BXII, but value to MWC. SDSU, SMU, UConn all simmer to say about 2025. *not full shares for say five years

The PAC is the injured animal about to go down because it's badly hobbled (USC, UCLA, now CU). The predators (B1G and BXII) are staying away to not get nicked before it happens. When it does they, they come in to finish it and take the best limbs. Meanwhile, a vulture circles overhead (MWC) ...

Some of these OL these days are big as a house!

I didn't read the last six words in "There will be a ton of political pressure applied to the XDSU's to decouple from the UXD's. I just don't see it happening." closely enough. The MWC surely observed UND's time in the BSC. Look at the BSC footprint and where UND is. Now look at MWC and the Dak4. Same thing only different.

From the football first crowd, undoubtedly. Those concerned foremost with fiscal matters may have a significantly different view.

The current dimensions read like future NG in a 3-4. How are his feet? Future OG? Or is he going to grow to 6'5" still.
