The Sicatoka

Um, no? They hold 20,630. They're barely in the top 25. https://www.ncaa.com/news/football/article/2022-07-12/25-biggest-fcs-football-stadiums-country

They're changing their name like Troy State of Alabama became just Troy U. And there are so many Byes we have to identify by color. This one is blue. So we have a date with Blue Bye U ... I feel so bad I got a worried mind ...

Should Frisch’s stats show two goals and an assist yesterday? What’s that? You don’t get to count those? Oh. Goal and assist it is. Just funning you E.

Q is easy to hate.

Five.

Toby can explain it ...

Out of footprint of the conference isn't a big deal if it's just football, but when you're traveling all your teams 800 miles to the nearest opponent it adds up. And that's before you're asking other teams to travel to the upper Midwest in January. See: UND in BSC

MAC vs MVFC: Final Massey Ratings (all DI CFB) from 2021: NDSU 42 vs CMU 82 SDSU 81 vs WMU 83 UNI 101 vs NIU 93 Mo St 105 vs Toledo 95 SIU 108 vs Miami 99 USD 111 vs Ball St 109 UND 119 vs Kent 113 YSU 145 vs EMU 118 Ill St 149 vs Buffalo 129 Ind St 160 vs Ohio 141 WIU 168 vs BGSU 151 Murray St 186 vs Akron 179 Murray State isn't MVFC quite yet, but I needed a 12th team. The Sagarin ranking comparisons are similar (MVFC vs MAC): NDSU 38 vs CMU 69 SDSU 71 vs WMU 72 UNI 99 vs Toledo 80 MO St 103 vs Miami 87 SIU 109 vs NIU 93 USD 117 vs Ball St 104 UND 119 vs EMU 107 YSU 143 vs Kent 108 Ill St 158 vs Buffalo 125 Ind St 169 vs Ohio 132 WIU 179 vs BGSU 153 Murray St 191 vs Akron 181 The MVFC right now is the "western MAC", without the FBS label (and revenues and expenses). It you pulled in the top of the BSC and the top of the MVFC to a new western FBS conference it'd be MAC-level Day 1.

They were toddlers; I was there. And @PCM knows: I called the Holy Cross win a couple days after the bracket came out. I based it on a HC team of Fr/So that lost two years earlier to UND that were now Jr/Sr. When I met him outside the press box (he was writing for USCHO at the time) before OT I didn't say a word; I just smiled at him. Maybe the best off-the-boards headman pass in the history of REA happened that OT. Crying shame that HC used up a lifetime of luck in REA in that game.

Frankly I'm glad they know more about what is coming in from last week (W over BC) than Gopher history.

North of the Betty will be a new four-court practice facility. That was part of the Homecoming facilities release.

Only if the baloney is fried in a wok.

Grand Forks needs to break through the politics and old boys and get a new overpass between 32nd Ave and the Merrifield road overpass (County 6). Or just put ramps (finally) onto the Merrifield road overpass. Why? Fargo is putting in the 64th Ave S overpass and there's already a huge Fargo Parks facility, an NDSCS facility, a hospice facility, and whispers of a Christian academy going in ... while the ramps are not yet poured. (The bridge deck is in place.) Grand Forks has a huge space inside the greenway (flood protected) that will not develop (economic growth) until there is easy access to I-29.

"C'mon Spiewak! It's not the ice capades!" <-- And I did that by reference of the movie alone. I love that clip. Does Kevin get his Actors Guild card or re-run money from that?

Is it better to have Belquist back and risking him on punt return duty than Siegel back on KOs? In my "perfect world" a nickel DB or backup RB handles both.

Then you have a problem ... Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cirrus_Aircraft

Overstatement. They're stepping away until the CFIUS review is complete. That's normal anti-conflict of interest action during a review.

It's a corn processing facility. And I'm willing to bet they staff it locally. Why hasn't someone found a local group to own it and sell the output to the Chinese?

Um, do we have Hak officiate this bout since he was there when each debuted?

With Monty hurt, 15F, ... literally do a complete line change between Friday and Saturday. Going that way you'd dress all seven available D both nights and get everyone healthy at least one game.

BUSTED! Do note however I said "finally legally" ...

James South (Fargo Central) Walter Running (Fargo Central) Brian Williams (Fargo North) Gary Kaiser (Fargo North) Pat O'Leary (Fargo North) Aaron Walski (Fargo North) Tyler Kleven (Fargo Davies) Ben Strinden (Fargo _______) <- Any idea which HS?

Should I be embarrassed that I'd never heard either name before now? And I'm the guy who knew last year that Brady Ferner was the third ever South Dakotan to play for UND (brothers Prince and Buzz Johnson, Webster, SD).

I have a feeling this will grind out to a last possession game. The good news is this team has confidence in itself in that scenario.

A journey of 1000 miles begins with a first step, and that's exactly the first step that was needed. Thank you Coach Tupac and Coach Tupac.
