The Sicatoka

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.

Dear Sen. Heitkamp, ... or are you of the naive and fiscally unviable belief ... If it's the latter, you should not be in charge of a nation's finances much less those of an athletics department.

Again, and at risk of repeating myself, this does not scream economic viability. http://www.startribune.com/gophers-women-s-hockey-conference-wcha-takes-unprecedented-turn-toward-crowdfunding/435628563/ From the link: Crowd funding and losing $2 million a year.

All snark aside, in under six months UND (sans FB and MIH) will be in the Summit. The Summit not meeting the requirements I posted above costs a little thing called "an autobid".

The best solution involves fixing the Gary Bettman problem. After this year's rating debacle you have to think NBC (who has Olympic and NHL rights) will be begging to get the pros to Beijing. And this probably exactly what Bettman and the owners wanted.

So who'll get to 30 first? The New York Yankees or Grand Forks Central.

We've been too short on the bench to institute "skate or sit". It needs to be.

Grand Forks Central hung number 27 last night. Redskins. Maroon and Grey. Knights. Central wins because they are Central. North Dakota should take note win because they are North Dakota. It ain't the nickname; it's the effort.

I'll say it again: I never believed Rhett Gardner was such a key to the team. They are winless when he's out of the lineup.

Oh that silly old Section 20.02.5.2(b) requirement: 20.02.5 "Multisport Conference" of the DI manual is an interesting read.

Central wins with any nickname because they are Central.

It's a $60 million endowment to restore WIH. So, ... What are gold medals going for on eBay these days? Talk is cheap; takes money to play hockey.

SIU did it over the course of 5 years. See link.

Isn’t that the slogan of this Olympics?

I’m sure I could pick a team of all Minnesotans to play for the Goldy Goophies.

That’s right. Those buildings, they’re history.

Dear Mr. Kawaguchi, It’s almost March. Please feel free to score at an insane pace like last spring.

They are an eyesore and right on the main path (University) through campus from 42nd to Columbia. Not a great welcome mat. Clean it up. Come off I-29, go past the tech incubator and the CAS complex to see that mess: not a good impression. Clean it up; put in better.

I have my moments.

And with Fetch’s final edict ... locked.

Not good news coming out of MVFC member Southern Illinois. Seems they could use someone to make some tough calls to manage their finances. https://dailyegyptian.com/79417/sports/siu-athletics-running-on-cumulative-deficit-of-26-million/

One more reason why ratings are down: The self-loving self-ingratiating “look at my hair and make-up and clothes” high-maintenance diva below ... and the blonde in the photo too. https://goo.gl/images/6dNqir
