The Sicatoka

Regarding Weah: I saw his numbers for Moorhead this year and thought they were typos. Could this be that "built like a fire hydrant, runs like lightning" back that everyone else seems to find but UND?

The ball moved after the first left foot came up. Yes, a minutial, microscopic amount; but, it did, and that negated a couple TDs in games this year. And Jesse James of PIT is still confused.

UND moved from 12 to 8 in the PWR with a pair of "did not play" games this weekend. A couple more weeks off and we'll be #1!

OK, seriously, who'll be the Vikings 2018 Game 1 starter? Right about now the list could be a dozen or more long.

At this point bemoaning the new nickname and logo is tilting at windmills.

Why do I just know that in the regular season one of those two touchdowns would've been overturned? #WhatIsACatch

Does the NFL have a site comparable to the gold-standard* of sport contract watching? *If you don't know about CapFriendly and like to follow hockey contracts you're missing out.

Stafford wouldn't be a bad option, but Stafford just recently signed a poison-pill contract. Nobody will want to take it.

Crap. Forgot he was up last year for a cup of coffee.

Chief gets new tribe? (I think I just broke the politically incorrect meter there.)

Paul Ladue gets his first career point as a goal in his second NHL game. http://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=129954

Can we return St. Cloud?

The battle will be won by attrition. That is the weaponry of those that take up the fight.

Offensive line.

A first shot at the team with the "ND" logo and the Fighting ----- nickname? http://freebeacon.com/culture/espn-host-notre-dames-fighting-irish-mascot-offensive-needs-change/

Form follows function.

The MSU Athletic (and general) Administration is the problem. The must've gone to the Penn State School of Handing Sexual Predators. I'm not sure how the MSU Hockey team would be impacted unless their coaching staff had direct knowledge of impropriety (sexual or otherwise) within the department and did nothing. That said, if they did know Nassar was abusing his patients (the most vile thing a physician can do, "do no harm" ring any bells?) they should be punished as criminal accessories aiding and abetting. Yes, I said criminal. < bleep > the NCAA. They are a non-judicial, extra-judicial body. They have no real power. They grandstand and make noise. They aren't the law. They have no subpoena power; they have no power to criminalize and/or incarcerate anyone. If people at MSU broke the law let them face the law. Frankly, the law should investigate what the NCAA knew about the matter and when they knew it. (See prior statements above about aiding and abetting.)

OK. That wasn't a good hit.

Take it up with the FCC. They control licensing for AM/FM radio. Or are they in on this mass cabal that you purport as well.

Doug? Doug? Is that you Wooger?

And Alaska payments got smaller this year; and Alaska makes payments to citizens because the oil is coming from public lands (where much of ND oil is coming from privates); and, don't forget Alaska's state budget is a mess (they were talking cutting UA/UAA athletics not that long ago).

So ... uh ... um ... is this what happened when Thunder the Bleacher Creature mated with the San Diego Chicken? No wonder TtBC went into hiding ...

Yup. They are finally starting to realize they are the only game in town in Bismarck/Mandan. "From the University of Mary studios, you are listening to 550 AM, KFYR, Bismarck, ... " <-- Nice little top of the hour, every hour, promo they've bought on the best coverage AM station in the state.

" ... you plick."

So do we send them this and Thunder the Bleacher Creature?
