The Sicatoka

And risk playing in which converted cattle barn where? Fargo/Scheels is not my first choice but it is my second.

Then someone bids with temporary ice in the Winter Show Building in Valley City (5000 rodeo seats) and gets it because it's just them and a campus rink (REA) bidding. @siouxrube is probably writing up the bid now.

Is that some kind of spoiler alert? Aren't you supposed to give that warning first?

Wilkie should not be a surprise. He has solid resume. https://fightinghawks.com/sports/mens-ice-hockey/roster/carter-wilkie/12353 I worry about Emery's durability being that light.

I knew Swanson was smallish but in comparison Kunz is 'ginormous".

Lies. Damned lies. Statistics. Al Davis has it right: Just win baby.

Usually nothing if there's a return trip involved. We went to BU; they're coming. Cornell came here; we're going. Likely no cash either way.

DFW-Austin-San Antonio-Houston may disagree.

Think: students in region to recruit to your school. Texas wins.

It has to make fiscal sense. The way that pencils out for me is Dak4* as a pod of CUSA or SBC or MWC. Part of the ledger has to stay cost contained and sane. *if not USD take in UST instead

Tarleton State? Oh my ... Can't beat that Texas advantage.

Gonzaga to PAC seems to be real also.

UTEP to MWC seems to be happening.

Looks like NDSU going Under Armour in 2025. https://gobison.com/news/2024/9/30/general-north-dakota-state-under-armour-enter-new-apparel-agreement.aspx

Schmaltz ... someone had to ...

Eleventy-billiion to two.

Massey: 6 Sagarin: 7

Some say the Murray game changed on the blocked punt. Disagree. The roughing the punter on them changed the game; extending that drive was big.

Finish it: UND to B1G

At this point it’d take the inconceivable to surprise me.

Dare I say White Sox-esque down the stretch.

So (Pac) WasSU and OrSU snipe San Diego St, Boise St, Colo St, Fresno St, and Utah St from MWC. What's left of MWC is San Jose St, Nevada, UNLV, Air Force, UNM, and Wyo. If UNLV and Air Force had taken the Pac offer the remainder would be really stuck. As it is, they're all kinda stuck: reach across country to other FBS schools or FCS call-up. Still say WasSU and OrSU should've sucked it up and joined the MWC.
