The Sicatoka

Back in the day the Denver Broncos were the zone blocking masters, and had one of the lightest OLs in the NFL.

That was worth repeating. As I've said before, if the Summit loses one school that sponsors soccer or baseball the clock starts on the MBB autobid disappearing. To refresh your memories ...

Nyet.

They are showcasing work they did for UND, specifically the “Leaders in Action” ad campaign, and not the UND Athletics rebranding campaign. Hence no Fighting Hawks logo as that’s for Athletics usage. The fact they are showcasing their UND promotional work on their page is a win. It may be the only time some are exposed to UND in any way.

A big fraction of Minot is oil traffic also.

Not really. It's January; you've suffered an injury and have to bring in a goalie. Would rather have them rushing to Seattle from Palm Springs or Boise?

Please tell me he's down about 10 pounds from last season. I don't believe it would hurt his stamina or endurance, but would help his speed and quickness.

... or on something. < obligatory Robbins reference here >

Mentioning Seattle, the NHL Radio on SiriusXM guys rated "Seattle" as more likely to win a Stanley Cup in the next five years than the Minnesota Wild.

You mean that stretch of campus where UND (Kennedy) rightly and smartly tore down a bunch of dilapidated, decrepit, eyesores? You mean that space will be upgraded now? Whodathunkit.

@MafiaMan FEWER potholes = less coffee spilled. FEWER potholes = fewer cups of coffee spilled. If it's countable it's fewer; if it's not countable it's less.

Say there are 12 outstanding offers; the first ten are guys we really want, the remaining two are guys who are second choices or back-up plans. One of those last two offers jumps at it and becomes first commit and there's the scenario.

This is not wrong. "First commit" might be a marginal guy looking to take whatever shows up, and he doesn't pan out and wasn't worth the offer. "First commit" might be a high end guy overlooked (like that LB that ended up starting at Wisconsin) that we may have outkicked our coverage on. That said, first commit is commit by the player, not the UND staff. So, to point, tracking "last commit" or "fourth commit" or "second guy to commit on a Tuesday" are each probably just as valuable as "first commit" from an analytics point of view.

To Mafia I say, до свида́ния

The claim last year is they were using up the in-stock inventory of numbering in the equipment room. Must be a lot of inventory.

One more comment: I'm glad they simplified the blacks. Basic black is always classy, elegant, and in style.

He needs to trust his system. He can't get the yips at the first sign of trouble or doubt and start calling dives over LG on first down ... every drive.

Will adidas be supplying more than jerseys or does the agreement extend to all hockey gear? Will we be seeing Reebok* helmets? *adidas owns Reebok. adidas used to own CCM but sold that recently.

Always OL. Always.

So goes, so goes.

Yes, the patch color accenting (different from jersey base) makes it pop better. I was told the hawk in the logo will always be white, no matter the presentation (black or green) of the ND behind it.

Lose a yoke border, add a stripe, depending on which you're talking about.

Forgive my jersey-heathen-ness, but other than an Adidas logo and take a border here, add a stripe there, ... um ... ?

The smooching sound you just heard was the kiss of death.

Minnkota Power (Grand Forks) is a big push behind enhanced (CO2 based) oil recovery. They'd be grabbing off-gas from their stacks (Young Station) and compressing it to CO2 and selling it to the CO2 injectors. Selling what is normally waste, that sounds good for Minnkota, right? You missed the real reason: No atmospheric (CO2) emissions from Minnkota's coal plants. Project Tundra
