The Sicatoka

They're staring blindly at the screen wondering why they can't update their Facebook status (not understanding that wireless connections in a steel frame building are shaky at best).

The best want the best facilities (for example, see REA).

You mean the story I linked when I started the thread?

I like Kalen's coaching at USF but will admit it may have been as much "staff" as him. For similar, see also: Jerry Kill.

That's what 1 million square feet of space will get you.

If they are thinking "new site" I'm sure it'll be very "hush-hush" so the land prices don't mysteriously jump.

I remember a couple seasons ago where we had to call some kid named Matty Rinks out of the untested bull pen to cover an unexpected injury to the starter. How'd that season turn out again ...

Once it's colored red, to us it's all just dead. (see: Wisconsin, St. Cloud, Miami, Omaha, BU, et al). And don't get me started on teams that use bloody stool and dehydrated urine as colors ... (see: Minnesota, Denver, UMD, BC, et al).

My best case: I'll use the four I bought. My worst case: I'll give them to some of my "south of the border*" friends who'll always take an excuse to go to Hawks** Falls. *Anyone below the Seventh Standard Parallel as defined here. **Clearly the NCAA by now has renamed the host city "Hawks" Falls because they'd never allow "the forbidden S word" to invade or be associated with their precious events.

So you guys got pwned by ... pwned?

OK, have to admit I'm impressed so far; however, let's get him here and playing.

Allow me to explain: People only half listen and well ... aren't always so sharp. They hear "half a percent" but only listen to the "half". Then they try to understand what they heard, but only listened to part of, and you get ... "Half? HALF! My God! Half of something is 50%! That's a 50 percent increase they want to tack on!" < facepalm > Hearing is not listening; Listening is not understanding. It's a three-step process and most fail miserably along the way.

Well, ship's sailed on this option. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kalen_DeBoer

So Altru is looking at finally scrapping their aged, piece-meal facilities and consolidating into a new building? Actually, very smart. Why? Because there are now contractors who know how to build such facilities in the area (Essentia Fargo expansion, new Sanford Fargo, UND Medical building) who are looking for work. Contractors looking for work tend to put in more competitive bids. http://www.grandforksherald.com/news/4356287-new-hospital-marks-bold-new-era-altru So, will this end up back on Columbia Road or will they look for a completely new site?

Gino needs to step up, but Gino shouldn't try to be anyone but Gino.

Gubrud's out but his replacement is UND's nemesis: a low number of career snaps freshman QB.

Ottawa gets a guy; Nashville gets a guy; Colorado gets a roster.

The league's no fun with the Cowboys to play the Redsk ... I mean Dallas to play Washington. Yankees gotta have their Red Sox.

I do believe Cam was held out as a precaution after something at the end of practice today; however, I won’t be surprised if Cam starts tomorrow.

Mr. Thome settled in nicely after a less than auspicious beginning. Good for him.

Non-conference?

Let in 2 of first 4 shots. Stop next 34. #howyoufinish

Will playing on CC’s Olympic ice last week help out the team on Wisconsin’s Olympic ice this week?

Midco customer. I have BTN as part of my subscription. Picked up one of the iPads. Got BTN2Go from the App Store. Launched it. Found UND/UW game down the left side and clicked it. Asked me cable provider (selected Midco). Told me game wasn’t on yet. Easy-peasy. Watched the last two minutes of the first period of OSU and Notre Dame. Only Michigan has uglier buckets than Notre Dame.
