The Sicatoka

Because they are comfortably positioned into their niche.

Kleven merely falls into the long line of UND defensemen that remind you to keep your head up. Kleven, Smaby, Greene, Finley, MacWilliam, Commodore, etc, etc, etc,... We just haven't had one of that vintage for a while.

CC is happy with DI hockey and living the niche DIII life in Colorado. Their new hockey arena (3600) would hold their student body (2000) ... nearly twice over.

Omaha? That's more nostalgia than reality. MVC BB used to have the Omaha market with Creighton (now in BEast). The MVC is going after either schools that'll help with NCAA BB tourney payouts or growing metropolitans (to leach students from). Frankly, UNO checks neither box.

CC is happy where they're at.

I'd like to see Fenton make a power play like this (even if it means "inviting" or "encouraging" UMKC and WIU and Oral Bob to find new homes). The group would be positioned to become the "Western MAC". The conference would own the high plains from MSP to DEN to SEA. It makes sense ... so it'll never happen. And I could start listing reasons why this can't happen, but I'm not sure the internet could hold them all.

This is sounding less likely. UMKC isn't committing to improving their BB facilities.

Weltanschuung? Schadenfreude. The two best words in the German language end up forming a perfect question and answer.

Me, Nashville, Bridgestone Arena, October 30, 6:30 pm: I scroll my Twitter feed to find how UND FB did that day. I see a tweet about a lead (28-17) in the fourth. I joke with the person beside me that that scares me. Scroll. 28-25 UND. Scroll. Other team with ball at UND goal line. Scroll. 32-28 UND loses. That's when I knew it was time to view this team solely based on performance and not people and personalities. Is the performance, from the water boy to the four-deep roster to the staff, meeting performance expectations, measured not by the "who", but by the "do".

I'd be down on Midwestern Hawk if they were just bemoaning to bemoan, but they are pointing to real, tangible items (above, play calls, clock management issue) sitting in the room beside the elephant and the 800 pound gorilla.

With no UND Hockey until January 1 (US NTDP) and January 8 and 9 (Cornell), might as well start the conversations now.

Even with gold medal game on Wed Jan 5, and even if it's in Edmonton/Red Deer, I don't see Sanderson or Kleven available against Cornell.

You're going to get your wish whether you want it or not. I expect Sanderson and Kleven to be gone and unavailable due to WJC (in Sweden) to Monday January 10. Eight defensemen on roster, minus two, leaves game day six. Your top four in that scenario? 15, 7, 4, 2. (Did you notice the ice 4/2 got the last couple weekends? There's a reason. And this will be the chance for 24 and 6 to show if they've grown any whiskers.)

They don’t give out trophies for winning the first half. It’s been impressive so far but there’s much more to be done. Rest. Enjoy. But the work starts again in three weeks.

DU beat nine kinds of ugly out of UMD last night. UMD still running with G3 because G1 and G2 are in protocol?

Your terms are acceptable. Where is my office.

Aren't you supposed to say "Da Bears" in there somewhere?

No dunking on geaux ...

Is it true the microphone filed abuse charges against him after his last broadcast?
