The Sicatoka

There is this strange belief out there that penalties should "even out" in a game. In a word: No. They might. They might not. You put two clean teams out there and it'll be even and close to zero for both. Put two whack-a-hack groups out there and it'll be even, at about a dozen each. But put a clean and a whack-a-hack together and it won't be even. It won't be close, or at least it shouldn't be. This is not to say either team Saturday is a whack-a-hack group. However, everyone has a bad day once in a while and might behave ala whack-a-hack and be called as such. If that day is again a clean team it'll look lopsided. But to believe every game should end up with "evened out" penalties is pure and utter fallacy. There have been many a night that UND has been whack-a-hack and parading to the box and penalties ended up very lopsided against them ... and fully deservedly so.

Oh yeah!?!?! Explain it to them Dr. Fever!

I heard it from Simone.

Dumping, and not even winning the chase much less the puck battle, on the power play drives me crazy.

I'm not sure which of the Forum guidelines (shown below) those posts violated, but, to be succinct: Knock it off. (<-- There's an implied "or else" with that.)

From the Forum guidelines: Thank you.

Still no external postings for OL and WR coaches on the employment site; still just that assistant soccer coach posting.

So they're trying to make my Rams/Chiefs prediction go bad.

Pretty sure that Rams/Chiefs game will end up with more points scored. < facepalm >

Mike Houston is leaving FCS JMU for FBS (ConfUSA) Charlotte. That's not a sign that JMU is jumping up any time soon.

Good call. My miss.

Houston going from JMU to Charlotte? At least Bohl went from NDSU to Wyoming. But Charlotte? Seriously? Yeesh.

Unless Luke was tackle-eligible on this play I think you have a mistake in there.

You and the snarky response. What are you, some kind of ... post bomber.

Looking at the UND website, the only posted coaching position right now is an associate soccer coach.

A guy looking to change phases of his football career, say from playing to coaching. Interesting. There's this guy coming off of a 2-year deal right now after 10 in the league. I wonder ...

I'm just stunned that PHI hasn't figured out what their core issue is. (Hint: look at what's in blue paint area on ice)

No. I mean what I wrote. If the lad doesn't want to be at North Dakota he should go to where he wants to be. It'll be better for all parties.

Yup. Even through television you could hear every sphincter on the sideline pucker.

Has UND released its list (or have I been sleeping)?

IHTINB: Friends don't let friends drink unleaded.

I'd really like to get Luke Schleusner back to UND but I just don't see a spot. He's been coaching TEs and is co-ST coordinator (kick-off team). A guy who knows what it takes to win as a player (and to be part of really good teams as a coach) is never bad to have around. https://gojacks.com/coaches.aspx?rc=483

If the lad doesn't want to be at North Dakota I don't want him at North Dakota.
