The Sicatoka

I've seen stuff that'd make a dung beetle cringe.

Trying to figure out if it's real or my perception: Are they targeting OL earlier in the recruiting cycle. Some of the first names to commit the last few years are OL.

Bad news: Sanderson was out much of last season. Good news: Bast and Johnson got much more run time than expected. Welcome to "the dividends". The two least experienced defenders each have at least 23 collegiate games.

Some claim physicist Albert Einstein once stated, “Compound interest is the most powerful force in the universe.” If true, Al vastly underestimated the power of human stupidity.

As an white helmet alternate, not bad ... green mask, black mask? And a corresponding alternate jersey using that overlapped ND on the shoulder (or over the breastplate) or on the front hip of the pant would tie it in.

It's not the new logo. It's not the blackhawk-esque logo that was peddled. It's Hawks ... or specifically "how about we keep Sioux". Too many thought that superficially about the subject. Now pair that with "Fighting" and you get a generic name leading to not great logo options. (Honestly, Schafer did as well as he could making lemonade from the lemon.) So, in a perverse way, the "keep the Sioux name" folks got their wish.

Former UND goalie donates to hockey program ... I've heard that before ...

I tossed an idea for an alternate helmet in here.

This palate changes nothing but cleans up nicely, and makes more functional, what is already in hand. I could see an all white FB helmet with the full North Dakota wordmark (in green) on the sides as an alternate.

Close (and not wrong) but better phrased as ... One of former UND Alumni Assoc Exec VP (and former UND Hockey color guy) Tim O'Keefe's two daughters. The hockey intermission broadcaster (Katie) is married to Ryan Hale; the other is a UND Law graduate and Mrs. Dave Hakstol. If you don't know all the links in the chain you don't understand how it swings.

I understand the sentiment but it's not < snap fingers > easy. Most of the schools are called out in the State Constitution <- amendment process. The only present city not called out by name is Bismarck (and that's one I would keep). And those targeted schools would band together creating a larger east/west political riff which wouldn't be good for UND.

Paul Maurice's job is to run the bench ... and the room. Now I understand his dismissal ... I mean resignation.

The new "Don Cherry" on HNIC?

We're carrying 16 forwards this year (normal: 15). I'd guess everyone is curious, so much so that the coaches made the 16F move: insurance policy.

That's every day that ends in "y".

With votes ... Denver – 180 points North Dakota – 160 Minnesota Duluth – 136 St. Cloud State – 115 Western Michigan – 86 Colorado College – 64 Omaha – 59 Miami - 28 The gaps are 20, 24, 21, 29, 22, 5, 31. That tells me most ballots looked about the same with the exception of CC/UNO 6/7 (smallest gap) and that most see a top four/bottom four (the 29 gap between SCSU/WMU). Oh, and with that 31 gap, Miami is hurtin' and everyone sees it.

Another question answered ...

Hideous. Looks like N and P. If you want ND side by side, fly the hawk away from the base logo.

... and I had Frisch winning it.

I went and listened and he did say "FBS". Makes you wonder, just comparing facilities to "top tier", just thinking aloud, as someone said "Freudian" maybe, still, interesting ... Before some jump all over this saying "too small!", the much beloved SHSU Bearkats are going FBS in 2023 with a stadium presently rated to hold ... 12,593. The Al is 12,283 for football.

Tallahassee? Madison? http://collegelists.pbworks.com/w/page/143035944/Colleges Located in or around State Capitals

I'm not completely buying the "visiting media" part of the answer. Why wasn't this an issue before? Does the MVFC get that much more coverage that they need more desk space than what is in the press box? There has always been cameras on the catwalks so it's not that.

His teenaged daughter is destroying you on TikTok for that comment.
