The Sicatoka

Cruikshank is at CC. Crookshank was at UNH and signed.

Do not say "Biggie Smalls" three times.

Stupid CHN ...

Might as well put the Saturday schedule here too (courtesy CHN.com): Notre Dame vs. Boston College 1:00 ET Compare TV NCAA Regional Semifinal – Times Union Center, Albany, N.Y. TBD vs. TBD 3:00 ET Compare TV NCAA Regional Final – Webster Bank Arena, Bridgeport, Conn. Quinnipiac vs. Minnesota State 3:00 MT Compare TV NCAA Regional Semifinal – Budweiser Events Center, Loveland, Colo. TBD vs. TBD 4:30 CT Compare TV NCAA Regional Final – Scheels Arena, Fargo, N.D. Boston University vs. St. Cloud State 6:30 ET Compare TV NCAA Regional Semifinal – Times Union Center, Albany, N.Y. Nebraska-Omaha vs. Minnesota 8:00 MT Compare TV NCAA Regional Semifinal – Budweiser Events Center, Loveland, Colo. In CT that's ... Noon, 2:00, 4:00, 4:30, 5:30, and 9:00 ... and that's a blooming mess ...

Bemidji State vs. Wisconsin 1:00 ET Compare TV NCAA Regional Semifinal – Webster Bank Arena, Bridgeport, Conn. Minnesota-Duluth vs. Michigan 3:00 CT Compare TV NCAA Regional Semifinal – Scheels Arena, Fargo, N.D. Lake Superior vs. Massachusetts 6:30 ET Compare TV NCAA Regional Semifinal – Webster Bank Arena, Bridgeport, Conn. American Int'l vs. North Dakota 8:30 CT Compare TV NCAA Regional Semifinal – Scheels Arena, Fargo, N.D. My math says if you put all those in CT you get ... Noon, 3:00, 5:30, and 8:30 Assuming standard two hour thirty minute games there's little overlap.

... but at full-boat pricing.

Ivy gonna Ivy. Now scurry along peasant.

Bottom line: 1000, 1250, 1500 ... pick your number, they'll be eaten up by the four schools* and Scheels arena (don't kid yourself, they get an allotment) and the primary and secondary markets are pretty much out of luck. *Imagine being in MA or MI the last year. They've had no events. At least I got to a couple regular season and NCHC playoff games. Those folks are starving for any hint of normalcy.

Pondering ... The HPC will connect to Memorial Village via the HAWKway. One drawing in the docs filed with the city showed a future skyway from Memorial Village to the existing skyway tower. Once you're in the ramp, does that connect (sheltered, meaning at least a roof) to Swanson or the new Union? And what will the new Union have sheltered connections to?

I heard just 1000 fans per game at Scheel for the West Regional.

The mid-majors are now farm teams to Power 5 basketball.

Who says there's not?

1000 tickets. Allotments to four teams. UND's were gone as soon as they arrived. Duluth fans should eat theirs up. That's 250 gone. AIC fans showed up before; figure half theirs? More? Michigan fans? < shrug > No idea. Parents? Say fifty? I'd guess at most 300 stubs would come available after "school returns" and UND will find a home for those in no time flat.

Break it down to rebuild it better.

Ask me Saturday night.

That's about the only way I see anyone getting tickets given they're only allowing 1000 into Scheels (5000 cap).

Advice: If you see it at Aldi and think you'll like it, buy it. It might not be there next trip.

SuperValu (who owned Hornbacher's) got out of the retail grocery business. Coborn's (CashWise) bought Hornbacher's from SuperValu. https://www.supermarketnews.com/retail-financial/coborn-s-acquire-hornbacher-s And how did I learn this? Long ago, buried in a post by ... SiouxVolley, RIP.

MasseyRatings picks for the NCAA first round: https://masseyratings.com/ch/ncaa-d1/games

Pretty sure every Stewart or Cullen that played for CC got the standard full decade of eligibility.

No, actually, Mr. Zapruder wants his camera back.

Is that on the interwebs?

Cruikshank was nearly 25% of CC's goals (8/36).
