The Sicatoka

His strong finish: "Translucent haze." <-- that's the air in a room full of stogies and scotch

Excerpts: Translated: Montana bid their way not only to home field but INTO THE TOURNAMENT FIELD. And who knew the following: So someone could bid < Dr. Evil voice > "one beeelion dollars!" and make NDSU go on the road as the #3? Finally, this author clearly does not know the NCAA. His simple solution would not do because it makes sense.

... and lots of ways to get taken to school.

You thinking some need to or will be schooled on that?

Fixed. Can I blame my wireless keyboard? I just had to replace batteries.

Trademarks matter. Not everyone seems to understand that.

Please show me the authentic team jersey with the nickname on it. Not the logo patch. The alphanumeric spelled out words. I'll hang up and listen.

They probably didn't apply tiebreakers. When there are three 5-3 teams and one of them has defeated the other two you know.

Between FB and now hockey, North seems to have a good group of kids coming through.

I do miss cheering for the little guy: G-PR Spoilers where have you gone.

Why'd my brain have it yesterday. That short week last week still has me all messed up.

https://herosports.com/fcs-football-push-playoff-structure-changes-bzbz/ Even Sam Herder sees the FCS clown show for what it is. (And he's not going to make friends with some calling FCS "niche". But it is, just like DI hockey.) So why stay and be clowned.

Anyone listen to Bub's presser yesterday? (I was away.) Injury status updates? Will everyone be available to travel? Will some have to stay home for ... reasons? @MafiaMan, @Blackheart, @Oxbow6, thoughts? Stearns County where the motto is ... We Do Cows. And for sake of diversity, seems they've expanded to "we do pets" now too.

You quit too soon: NDSU is at its lowest fall enrollment since 2005. Source: https://www.ndsu.edu/data/enrollment/annual/ But I'm not sure how any of that gets us any W's at the Sterns County Uses of Concrete Exposition Facility this weekend.

This is spot on. Matt Larson didn't make Bison Football. Team Makers did. Talk is cheap; it takes money to buy whiskey. Put your money where your mouth is. <- that's what ira is saying If not, we should move back to DII, because that's how our Roger Thomas mindset boosters are treating it.

Have some chips; have some grinder; have some chips; have some grinder. Is that eating at Red Pepper or recruiting?

Clearly wasn't me: (a) not nerdy (b) all you could ever smell on my floors was burnt popcorn from the Walsh service desk (you could've been roasting a side of beef) Best thing Housing ever did for RAs was offer the 19 meal plan (5x3 + 2x2) with a downgrade option: You could opt to take the 10 or 15 and get the difference in cash. Being in Walsh I didn't want to trudge over to Wilky on weekends (only option). I'd take the 10 (5x2) and spend the cash to eat on weekends. The singular extravagance each month: Saturday supper at Shangri-La with a lovely female companion.

You're saying it might go in cycles?

I've belittled Sam Herder in the past for his pro-Bison biases, but with this he is spot on. Compliments to Mr. Herder.

Absolutely worthless trivia (told to me by an ND cop, unverified by me, but knowing the late 90's early 2000's history, believable): At one point not too long ago, between MPLS and SEA, the chief of police with the most solved homicides on his watch was ... Dean Ross, chief of police, Valley City, ND* *Includes being made lead on a case that was technically in Barnes County jurisdiction

OK, who had "Seattle's juggernaut offense" on their NHL 2022-23 bingo card?

You missed a step. This is when you show a picture of a jersey modified to use retired, obsolete logos.

That calm, measured-analysis approach shall not be tolerated here.

I vote with my wallet and I make sure I purchase officially licensed goods and goods where UND owns the trademarks.
