The Sicatoka

The map ESPN uses when flying a west to east redeye: West Coast (civilization) --> Las Vegas --> Flyover --> is that Chicago down there? --> more Flyover --> the Catskills (are we there yet?) --> East Coast (civilization).

Winning the Big 4 Big Sky titles in 2016 (FB, VB, MBB, WBB) A 2016 FCS playoff appearance A Big Dance Appearance in 2016-17 The 2016 NCAA Mens Ice Hockey championship. Hosting three straight western regional mens ice hockey events (2017, 2018, 2019) Having a president on record as supporting Athletics. Having a president that took action to restore fiscal health to Athletics. Coaches think in "game stretches": these three on the road, the next two at home, these couple series before the break. Athletic Directors have to think in terms of years. They'll look at 2017 with due diligence, but good applicants will also see the foundations and the basis to build from based on the build up to 2016 also. I suspect when the list is down to an announced three or four there'll be some good candidates that are currently serving as high-level AADs at P5 schools.

I know this will be blasphemy in some quarters, but the Brien logo didn't work well in certain media due to its heavy detailing. Some of those included: small presentations (this is why they had to create the less detailed version that didn't include the feather signature, and that was still a busy version) rapid motion or flash-bys (on TV where the lead into or out of replay) the small, small logo they use on on-screen TV scoreboards Sometimes less is more, and simpler is better. You may burn me at the stake now.

On the active roster, or dressed and on the game day line up card? Either way: proof is what it takes to make this line up.

Neither McIntyre nor Ladue have appeared in an NHL game yet this season per HockeyDB.com. Until they appear in an NHL game this season they are ineligible to be placed on this roster.

Purpur is a pipedream. He applied for the presidency at UND. He's not coming to be AD after that unless he's guaranteed more (post Kennedy), and that's not possible.

C'mon man. Put a "NSFW" or some kind of disclaimer on that next time. There may not be an actual picture of Bucci shirtless, but just the same, my lunch is ruined and part of it is now in my keyboard.

Nice. HockeyDB shows current season stats for him. He's in.

HockeyDB.com doesn't show current season stats for either. Did they get into a game? Same goes for Parise.

Welcome to the 2017-18 Edition of the All UND-in-the-NHL Team. To be eligible to be listed the player must have appeared in one NHL game during the 2017-18 season and have played college hockey for the University of North Dakota. Help me fill out this roster. I know we had a full game day roster (12F, 6D, 2G, and a coach) last year. Coach: Dave Hakstol Goalie: Aaron Dell Defense: Troy Stetcher, Jordan Schmaltz, Derek Forbort, Taylor Chorney, Forwards: Toews, Stafford, Zajac, Jost, Boeser, Nick Schmaltz, Caggiula, Oshie, Brock Nelson, Grimaldi, My questions: Has Parise played a game? Has Ladue been up? Malone? VandeVelde? McIntyre?

If Mattson never signed a national letter of intent Berry can not say a word publicly.

That 42nd at Demers area has needed an over/under pass since Day 1.

No worries. It's subtle. Foles is part of the generation of QBs that are "NFL QBs" in name only. I'd hoped Goff and Wentz broke that trend that but I don't see much coming along after those two either.

No. No I did not. Please re-read what I originally wrote, reproduced here for you. (And that post has never been edited.) Foles != Wentz In the C# programming language (one of many I write) the symbol != means not equal. You missed the !

I did not realize the MIN loss to CAR flipped that PHI's way. That admitted, I still don't like PHI's chances in the post-season with Foles with ATL, CAR, and LAR starting to figure it out.

Meh, call me in a "y" month. It's still the "r" months. October November December January February March April

If that's what it takes to get the offensive line back to the standard it needs to be at, so be it. Anyone know what happened to CAS (the Bison fan who used to haunt here)? We didn't always agree, but we agreed that offensive line play was the most reliable indicator of how well a team was going to perform.

Foles can not replace Wentz. The Eagles run game will suffer because now teams can key on run.

You can cut that loose. That won't be a stop on the Sicatoka Sky Monorail System (SSMS). The SSMS: East Spur (runs north/south): the parking ramps*, REA, old Med, new Med. Central Spur (runs east/west): the parking ramps, the Chester Fritz library, Gamble/Smith station (skyway to Walsh complex), Wilkerson West Spur: (runs east/west): Wilkerson, the Alumni Center, University Place apartments, Odegard, Ryan *Note the plural ramps; and you'll have to walk from that station through the skyway to New Memorial Stadium to catch football or lacrosse.

I'd prefer perennial top 16 or top 8 ... or 4.

So in the course of about 12 hours MIN went from #1 seed in NFC, to #2 seed in NFC, to now still being the #2 seed in the NFC but seemingly well positioned to get the #1 back. Nick Foles != Carson Wentz

At their roll GSU would still throw 10-12 times per game. I'm not sure Wofford has passing plays other than drawn in the dirt as needed.

RE: 2017 FCS playoffs How in the world does a one-dimensional team like Wofford get to the quarters of the FCS playoffs? Even at their most dedicated to the veer, run run run, point in their program's history NDSU still passed the ball about a dozen times a game. A dozen passes is Wofford's season.

C'mon, credit Schmaltz with that goal, but even @Oxbow6could score with Kane setting him up like that.

Let's see ... Opening minutes and Pogo is in clean and < clang >. Intentionally put him in the box (too many men) and it works, he's away on a clean break and Gersich goes ... chest-logo. I do believe it's time to bring this one back. Time to lead from the front and execute, lads.
