You can do that as long as the luck formula involves someone standing in front tipping pucks.

My concern: Who's going to step up and show the group of forwards it's acceptable to put up some goals, early and often. Last season it was like they were afraid to.

Well, either my math is off, or Berry is carrying 27 this season (instead of the Blais/Hak traditional 26 slot roster): G (3): Thome, Scheel, Feeney D (8): Peski, Poolman, Bast, Kierstad, Rieger, Tychonick, JBD, Frisch F (16): Johnson, Yon, Bowen, Michaud, Smith, Mismash, Adams, Keane, Kawaguchi, Hain, Weatherby, Senden, Blaisdell, Albrecht, Pinto, Caulfield Given recent history, I don't have any issue with that. We've seemed to be scrambling at times to fill a game day roster card.

Right now it's all pretty pictures. What'll scream "FBS" to me is someone walkin' in and goin' all ...

Given that city block is about 365' from curb to curb north to south (University to 2nd Ave N, thank you Google maps) that's a softball field. Allowing for stadium and street standoffs you have about 220' down the left field line which is a minimum.

I'm the field shown is only marked for football and soccer, not lacrosse.

And built for defense: The batters look into the afternoon sun (to the southwest). Pitcher's park.

Eat up that much general parking (softball complex) they'll need the east parking ramp. If they put athlete housing on old Memorial, they'll need east parking ramp. Maybe, just maybe, the bridge to nowhere will go somewhere (other than a west parking ramp).

Tell that to the guy who loads hand grenades into shipping crates.

I have trouble arguing against any of those three statements.

A Randklev update (injury status, this season, and next season): https://www.inforum.com/sports/hockey/3971068-Former-Moorhead-hockey-standout-UND-commit-Randklev-still-fighting-back-from-ACL-tear Summary: Next key rehab date in September (decide if allow full contact) Team for 2019-20 -- Fargo Force Team for 2020-21 -- UND

Folks, reality check: It's been relatively flat for the last decade or so, and should stay that way, but come about 2024 the number HS grads will be start to drop significantly (say 10%). Not all colleges are going to survive that well. If you're not planning and preparing, now, for that you're going to have a lot of empty classroom and residence hall space. And those students, they're a 5G generation; they'll be looking more and more for online options. https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2016/12/06/high-school-graduates-drop-number-and-be-increasingly-diverse

I completely missed that angle.

Nice job. I try to do that also when I know a decent place is getting crushed by orange cones.

With that philosophy one must own the package deal: Don't complain come the day you are caught should it happen. Own it.

Guessing that's a floor from REA that got repurposed to Hyslop.

Must be field turf to be that consistent and green.

Isn't that a standard truism no matter whom or from where?

Vern Dosch of Mandan, Mr. "Servant Leader", only has an MS and is a UMary guy. https://www.amazon.com/Wired-Differently-Vern-Dosch-ebook/dp/B00TZ3XDS4

Exactly. I was quite skeptical (who's playing what politics) when I heard this work had been paused. Instead it seems Dr. Wynne deserves some credit for lowering student fees and the interest rate. ... Did he just take the lead on the race to the full-time role?

Putin ... Eades ... Both maniacal driven leaders Both with five letter last names Both like shirtless photo ops ... Separated at birth?

So where are the conference regular season title banners? Same place? And did they modify the conference tournament title banner?

I drove through Fargo on July 4. It was me, a state trooper speed-gunning, four geese in the median, and a lost squirrel asking for directions to somewhere with trees*. *That was for all you Goldie lurkers reading this.

Not sure if it was Stellick, or Simmer, or Kouleas, but as one of them said, "You can lose an edge in a no contact game."
