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).

Are mere mortals allowed to peer into the great and hallowed regions of NCAA-dom called "The Transfer Portal" or must one be of some certain anointing?

Cruikshank looking to leave CC? And the coaching release posted then pulled? What's going on in the Springs?

If this is true there should be repercussions.

That is most curious, agreed. My pure speculation: Massey looks at how well a defense keeps opponents below their scoring average. Notice UNI is holding opponents nearly 27 pts below average (26.97). And that is best in FCS. < shrug >

Massey Ratings moves UND to #4.

The UND team that showed up Saturday still fears NDSU and the coaches called the game that way. Lose the fear; give due respect, but no longer fear. NDSU is beatable.
