The Sicatoka

What'd they run?

Interesting idea, but along with it you need to get EERC to work on the infrastructure issues that come with vehicle electrification. Imagine if you will, adding just one electric car into each garage in your neighborhood. Is your power distributor (Xcel, Otter Tail Power, local REC) ready for that? Are the cables large enough? Are the transformers sized correctly? You will effectively be doubling the household load. Yes, there are present strategies to manage this, like timed home chargers that only activate overnight (off peak times). But just the same, present off peak times are based on 24 hour generation from "turning shafts". If we want to go solar/wind those don't tend to produce well on a calm overnight. And large scale energy storage at reasonable cost is still not here. Electric cars bring plethora of associated issues: generation, transmission, distribution, energy storage. That's before the real issue temperature vindy brings up is even broached. Oh ... and you need the minerals, from iron and copper, to lithium and cobalt, to do all this. Sounds like the EERC's wheelhouse, especially with built in laboratories at hand (the climate in GF, Minnkota Power, Basin Electric of Bismarck, OTP Co).

As did I ...

Retired USAF general and USAFA faculty assumes presidency of UND. $100 million in Federal grants and contract happen following year. And Gen. John "Jay" Raymond and UND President Andy Armacost (Gen, USAF, Retired) signed a historic agreement between the Space Force and UND – an agreement making UND the first member of the Space Force’s University Partnership Program. Gen. Raymond to speak at commencement.

And of course Oshie with the GWG the night before this:

"Don't play chicken with the K-Train ... uh huh huh, uh huh huh"

Are you saying UMD should add this as a shoulder patch to their jerseys?

What'd they lose?

So Duluth will have a couple 5'10", 175 pound, freshmen. Paging Mister Kleven, Mister Tyler Kleven, please meet the Bulldog skating through center with their head down, Mister Tyler Kleven ...

Two questions remain at top of mind with me: - Will the returnees naturally progress and the offense produce? - Will "Hellboy" and "The Riddler" make us forget ... what was his name again?

(I swear there's an echo in here ... because I do this every couple years ... ) If you want to learn about the various entities, and how they operate, as non-profits they file Form 990 with the IRS. You can view those here: https://www.guidestar.org/ Ralph Engelstad Arena related entities: UND Arena Services Inc <-- management of facility and engages in other 501(C)(3) allowed charitable, educational activities (like running tickeing for UND) UND Sports Facilities Inc <-- appears to own the arena based on (depreciated) assets RE Arena Inc <-- operates the arena Then there's ... Engelstad Family Foundation <-- effectively Ralph's estate at death, controlled by trustees Betty, KEM, Jeffrey Cooper (Ralph's friend and accountant), and assistant trustee Sean McGarry (yes, KEM's son). This is NOT the arena. And it has assets ... UND Alumni Association and Foundation

Not if it came from the Engelstad Family Trust Foundation. (People are very sloppy with language on these matters.)

Trade him to BOS. They need their next Papi.

Last 15 games MIN v STL, MIN record is ... 2-11-2. The Blues gotta be blaring this out of their locker room at this point.

I don't want to hear this. ... maybe this year's organizer should get a bonus 375 points ...

The REA complex (REA, Oly, Betty) was original price of over $113,000,000.00. Putting $5M into maintenance and upgrades of the facility is 4.5%. And this round cost UND nothing (as the Engelstad Foundation covered it).

Done.

Yup. That's exactly what some of these late picks are hoping for -> a late shocking catch.

It's not the NCAA; this is an internal U of Michigan investigation headed by an outside law firm, WilmerHale. https://www.mlive.com/news/ann-arbor/2022/01/law-firm-investigates-michigan-hockey-over-allegations-of-covid-deception-toxic-environment.html WilmerHale has found UMi wrong and at fault in past investigations to the tune of $490 million. https://record.umich.edu/articles/u-m-reaches-490m-settlement-with-anderson-plaintiffs/ What's this Pearson investigation involve? The accusations summarized: Head coach Mel Pearson “instructing students to lie on their COVID-19 tracing forms” ... at the infamous Fargo 5OT regional. Pearson and Director of Hockey Operations Rick Bancroft discriminating against female staffers and “creating a toxic work environment for female support staff.” Pearson retaliating against a student athlete for “raising concerns” about the hockey team’s culture. Bancroft knowing about sexual misconduct committed by the late athletic doctor Robert Anderson.

So you're saying we're into "Bradshaw to Harris ... incomplete ... no, wait, TD Steelers!" (against the Raiders) time? We'll draw out the "olds" with that reference, won't we.

Yes.
