The Sicatoka

Waaaaait ... say what? I thought Midco hoodwinked UND. Now the story is WDAY/ForumComm got spabked (which must be how gfhockey says "spanked" with a ball gag in) by Midco? And where does Bek fit into this ... I kid, I kid, but I just know and instigator is watching .... hi Chapo ...

What's curious to me is when I visit relatives that live in such places, those amenities are idle.

Probably doesn't fit exactly here, but top 5% worldwide isn't bad ...

This, and it has to affect a jump-shooter.

Does that make Pogo the first former UND player in the SEA org?

The FA signings yesterday were good, but some of the trades were eye-opening. VGK: Take Patches, we don't want nothin' back. Just get his contract off our books. CAR: Pass. VGK: We'll throw in something called Dylan Coghlan CAR: ... if you insist ... or OTT: Take Matt Murray and his contract, please. We don't need anything back. TOR: Hard pass. OTT: We'll throw in a 2023 3rd round pick TOR: ... we're listening ... OTT: ... and a 2024 7th round pick. TOR: Well if you're going to force us, sure.

Yes, I have that scar.

Twenty years would give me pause. I'd need the "why" behind it.

Folks do realize the tax breaks we're talking about sunset after (normally) five years. That's also how ND Renaissance Zones work.

Are you in the extraterritorial controlled area of a city or pure country (township) of the county? Extraterritorial zone is all the misery of city zoning with none of the benefit.

Amazon put up a million square feet and added about 1000 jobs at $18 per in Fargo. They're making it work in the same labor market conditions.

Can't wait for the next realignment rumor? Generate one! Samples: I hear that North Dakota State is about to join the Pioneer League and Clemson could be next. I hear that Mt.Union is about to join the Pac-12 and they want to expand into Mexico next. I hear that Monsters University is about to join the Skyline Conference and they are looking to kick a few teams out too.

And now Kunz makes it 21. (He was my "why not" after Matteo.) Seems easier to list the "nots": Goalies, incoming D (Farmer, Sidorski), Kleven*, Bast, Portz**, Monty, Ness, Albrecht *nothing to prove at an OTT camp **next on my "why not" list after Matteo and Kunz, and Bast is after Portz

Right on cue ...

They've updated "five" to ... nineteen. https://fightinghawks.com/news/2022/7/11/mens-hockey-nineteen-north-dakota-products-featured-at-nhl-development-camps.aspx What in that list makes me happiest? This has to mean "Hain is cleared to skate and cleared for contact." The name not going to a NHL-dev camp that surprises me most? Costantini.

Will a change of scenery (NAS --> TBL) held Grant Mismash figure it out? Discuss.

Parts of the air show still went on; you can't control the weather.

For the girls tournament, the Mandan Starion complex, seems more than adequate. https://starionsportscomplex.com/

< to the tune of the 12 Days of Christmas > Five guys at development camps ... Four trying for Juniors Three drafted freshmen Two fifth year forwards ... but not a blue-chip for that certain someone to see ...

Seems you missed it ...

July 4: Independence Day July 5: oil change on the snow blower

Which is exactly how Notre Dame likes it, namely, the world focused on them (deservingly or not).

So you're saying Mandan's Starion complex might be the best ice in Bis/Man?
