The Sicatoka

No, the greatest was Pizza Corner out of Valley City before Dave Zubrod sold out the frozen side of the business to some MN/WI company. Thank goodness the original storefront is still there so you can still get a Spoiler or a Manhandler.

What'd I learn Saturday: - DU's top guns get frustrated - We may have another shutdown like (ala the Famous Names and the Heavy Line). - Griffen Ness may come off the side of a milk carton (he might be able to cover a shut-down role if needed in future) - Louis Jamernik self-nominated for future C/A consideration: Play the role (grind). Shutdown some top guns. GWG. Defend your captain.

Frisch is more C. Poolman or Kierstad. Discuss. (He's not JBD and I'm good with that, and I don't think any of those are T. Poolman)

NCAA Ice Hockey Rule Book, Rule 8.1 (paragraphs 4 and 5): First Bolded: Did Denver have possession of the puck when Mayhew was down? Second Bolded: Senden was utterly defenseless on the ice. (Was he conscious when he landed?)

Apparently the lad needed a change of scenery.

To me that is the narrow path, but it will be like, well, Matthew 19:24.

Dear UND defense, it’s ok to carry the puck behind your net and wait for help.

Ford took a hard hit about half way through the second. Haven’t seen him since.

SiouxVolley (RIP) thought the path to FBS would go through the WAC trying to reestablish as an FBS conference. Seems a WAC member (albeit a newbie one) doesn't believe an FBS WAC will happen and that's why they took the C-USA offer as the path to FBS:

Well played.

It'd be nice to not see 2-0 other guys like the last couple games.

In a two-game series: If you get a W and an OTW you won 1.55 games that weekend. If you get a W and an OTL you won 1.45 games that weekend.

I'm saying, how would they give anything but profits? They have to pay suppliers, cover overhead, and make payroll. Now what their overhead is could get the ol' stink-eye. (Are they paying "heat" or "floor space" to REA?)

So was the other team, yet you didn't and they did.

Well, um, ... yeah. After they pay suppliers for goods and then sell the goods and pay their employees ... The question should be is the Shop paying for space/utilities to REA.

Change normally comes from the very top or the very bottom.

Well that came out of the Blue Wilderness.

Likely. Why? March Madness. If you don't let the P5 dominate college football they could break off entirely and go their own way. They'd take football ... and the high number of eyeballs (TV dollars) that is March Madness. The Gonzagas and Marquettes and DePauls of the world (no FB) would be completely screwed thus they'll put up with the SEC shoving around NCAA football.

Let's hope we've learned our lesson and are ready this time when change comes, presents itself, and happens with or without us.

And the contract renegotiations (in 2025, for television and FBS playoffs) are screaming towards us.

That opens all the angles you mention: It becomes pricing and overhead and reporting games.

Anthony Moe-Tucker's Twitter bio-blast: "5’11 215lb RB/LB/dt/de #8 ranked MN ATH 4.58 40. #2 ranked 220 wrestler class 2A. Kasson Mantorville High School"

I'm a tad confused ... NDSU plays say 8 home FB game at 20k tix per --> 160k UND plays say 20 home MIH game at 12k tix per --> 240k With that UND lead in primary gate sports, how is NDSU claiming more tix sold? Is NDSU really selling that many more hoop stubs? Really?

Vade cum Deo.
