The Sicatoka

How do you do, Hindu.

I'm surprised the students at GW are only after the Colonials name and not more ...

Um ... etymology lesson time. According to the folks at Alerus Financial, "Alerus" derives from the Latin word "alera" which means "to take flight".

You only get one*. *Unless you're Hindu.

That is the best argument you can make against it (the PC angle).

@Ray77 Agree

Looking back, seems I'm a-ways behind. Maple Leafs. Mulched. Bruins. Put in a zoo. Sharks. Brody'd.

Between Fighting and "How About We Keep Sioux" even the greatest nickname, logo, and mascot in the history of man would've lost.

I'm surprised Ol' Miss is still the Rebels. And that UMass is still the Minutemen.

It's the new logo. It's going to be what's out there. If you feel oppressed by it I'm sure we can find a safe space for you. The only majority I'm aware of (with scientific basis) is that a majority of North Dakotans voted to retire the old nickname. Anything beyond that is speculative. And please don't go to the "manipulated to do it" tripe. They could've voted to keep it in place if it was that important.

Off the post, off the camera ... 2-0 VGK.

It'll have to wait until the fall.

You sure buried the biscuit on that opportunity.

Would the league let a guy spit in another’s face? So why can you lick?

If he does this right (and really didn't overpay that badly) he should come out even. They aren't making more space/land. More importantly, he now has control. And now he just needs to control what's his to control.

No comment. Oh what the < bleep >: I told you so. Despite the protestations of our resident Abe Vigoda devotee (Abe's dead, HA!), I still say that would've been the one to meet all stated criteria. And so what about GFRRHS; see: Ames, IA.

Would DU really take a run at Dane Jackson? If so, why not Cary Eades? Honestly, at this point, I'd expect DU to go internal with one of the assistants.

MattyRinks ... now that I think about it, yeah, he was brought in as a puck eater and became a de facto top guy. He came in behind McIntyre and Saunders, and then McIntyre and Cam Johnson. And then Cam and Tomek. But there's the turning point: Tomek went down, Matt had to step up (and did HUGE) and Ryan Anderson was brought in late and given the puck sauce (<-- to eat pucks in practice). Edit: Ouch. When looking up Matt I see that he is a former Humboldt Bronco. That I did not know. He's probably had a rough month. http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=125626

Too easy ...

Kennedy will be speaking about the budget later today. http://blogs.und.edu/und-today/2018/05/embracing-change/

Knowing he's a decommit from Miami, why not look at what a decent source like Heisenberg has: Mitchell Miller-LW 05-01-18 2020 Detroit Honeybaked U16 6' 190 12-20-01

Traditionally UND has had a top goalie, a backup good enough to press or even displace the top goalie to become the top, and (sorry) a puck eater in practice. See: Ryan Anderson, and, yes, Tate Maris.
