The Sicatoka

Pogo's goal yesterday sums up the season: Pogo shows no reaction; Jones almost jumps over the glass with joy. Pogo and yes, Gersich, just never showed "it" to me as far as leadership. No emotion. No inspiration. And dare I say, no heart? At some point you have to quit being satisfied with being as good (ties) and want to be better (win).

Um, honestly, they've underperformed miserably in big games. UND was in this game because of 8 and 29.

He didn't play the end of the game Saturday last week. I think he's dinged.

The way he's fawning someone needs to tell him they're both married.

Ding-ding-ding! Look at the extensions in downtown Fargo -- whacked by plow blades and needing repair.

Offer it to me and I'd take it. I'd get my hockey jones from the Bolts (UCF to Amalie is 99 miles on I-4).

Nothing personal, but I doubt it. Very, very few athletics programs show a profit, and even fewer departments*. *Meaning actual profit from actual revenues (gate, media, etc) and excluding subsidies (from the school, state, or student fees).

"UND was impatient." - Mike Jacobs 15 seasons. 15 seasons of futility. By comparison, I give you ... Clarkson. They started one season after UND. Though their first 15 seasons they have ... 4 conference regular season titles.2 conference post season titles. 7 NCAA tournament victories*.2 NCAA championships*. *These two numbers could still go up as their 15th season is still ongoing.

WIU is set to fiscally implode. That staves off needing UMKC. Let ORU go back south. (Do they really want Fargo in January?) And that staves off "Greeley". UND-NDSU SDSU-USD Omaha-Denver (easy flight) Montana-Montana State Idaho-EWU There's 8FB, 10BB (7 FB games, 18 BB games). Perfect would be one more FCS and one more BB only (9 FB, 12 BB; for 8 FB games*, 22 BB games). Yes, this is where some bring up UNC and UMKC as the solution to that. *Home/road annual balance.

You were so, so close until you said "Idaho State". The correct response is "Eastern Washington".

Oooh! OOOH! Pick me! Pickme! Conference regular season titles. Conference post season titles. NCAA tournament victories. NCAA championships.

No more ties. If it ties, it dies.

He understands the fundamental concept of "put puck in their net". I wonder if some of our guys understand that concept. And to win, you must put at least one puck in their net. Finally ...

Minn/Wisco or Minn/Wisco/Duluth

Oh yeah? 6-66-1 or 11-101-2 Hint: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Dakota_Fighting_Hawks_women's_ice_hockey

So ... other head coaches could get those players into the NCAAs ... Looking back, the biggest factor to getting UND WIH to the NCAAs was the Lamoureux twins, but even with them it only happened 2 out of 3 seasons. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_Dakota_Fighting_Hawks_women's_ice_hockey Facts are pesky things.

I want a double Gordie Howe hat-trick mano a mano.

Stop playing to the level of the competition. Start playing to the level of the abilities. This team can play to the level of top 5 PWR teams (ties with DU and SCSU); it needs to play like that every shift.

My sources tell me both will be playing for their USHL teams (Randklev to Fargo, Frisch to Green Bay) this weekend. Can someone talk to Cary Eades and get Frisch to Fargo so we can watch them both?

I hear they are light and aerie. <-- Does no one get the homophone pun? Where the < bleep > is Mafia when you need him ...

Please continue the March.
