The Sicatoka

Minney with a monster save with a minute left in the first.

I afraid we'll do better than 46 points, but because Arizona ran and we tried to keep up.

Well whose fault is that. < Blackheart sighting in 3, ... 2, ... >

Thinking is good.

Go Sparty! (It hurts OSU and helps UND because it raises and opponent's winning percentage.)

No. I'm talking about what the UND Athletics sports info department is dealing with right now.

Title IX is not the NCAA. Title IX is Federal law. Call your Congressman.

MBB in the big dance WBB in the WNIT. MIH at the conference tournament. And spring seasons kicking off. Oh, and having to work on budget issues.

Two predictions of interest from Massey: Team Pred %Win Margin Total Gonzaga 90 98% -25.5 153.5 SDSU 64 2% Arizona 82 94% -16.5 147.5 North Dakota 65 6%

Sounds simple until you realize spring break is set not by UND but by the NDUS. You ever tried herding cats?

At risk of repeating myself ... I'm so < bleep > < bleep > < bleeping > glad that UND had a new nickname and logo before the feces festival, the crap carnival, the dung drama, the merde melee, called "the DAPL protests" happened. You have to know that if the nickname saga had still been going, UND would've been drug through the mud (and whatever else that was on the ground in those camps) by the media as more proof of how terrible the State of ND is. When I see the ND Hawk logo, ... "Hawks?"... , and meh, logo could've been better, but it's not bad, but more importantly to me at least ... I see the soap box kicked out from all the "habitually offended" nickname protesters and any leverage the Tribes may have ever had gone. (That second one, well, see above re: DAPL.)

How will you know when the new logo really, truly has made it? When Mafia, Oxbow, Blackheart, and our own "Abe Vigoda" are filming their own local cable access, wait, too old school, internet video podcast sittin' around a table in a GF sports bar pondering what it'll take to beat ... "daaa--Hawks!" "Daaa Hawks." < clink > Or maybe other great ponderables like ... "So if you entered a school bus in the Indy 500, but Caggiula was drivin' da bus ... " "Jewels" "Jewels" "Definitely Jewels" "DaaaA - - - HAWKS." < clink >

The sun will come up tomorrow. I'll say "now" at daybreak. (When you know something is going to happen, don't be surprised when it does is all I'm saying.)

Photos or it never happened.

That Fighting Hawks helmet is 1 for 1 as far as getting to the FCS playoffs. And if Alerus is going to have the smushed UND (academics) logo, where's the flame in the D?

Barreiro is a ... what's that word again ... "pre Madonna".

Well ... yeah. The interlocked is being retired. That's been known for a while. At some point new orders will be stopped. And ...

I'm with Wilber: it comes down to is UND a 2, 3, or 4 (or the unspeakable). If UND is a 3 or 2, the #1 overall (assume DU or UMD) comes to Fargo. If UND is a 4, it gets messy fast because of the no first round conference match-ups thing.

Apparently Mafia was torn: the original A-4F Skyhawk version or the F/A 18 Hornet version. Such decisions ...

Sweet mother o' mercy ... look what I just found on Mafia's iPod. Wow. Just ... wow.

I'm in the mood for another from the band made up of Oxbow, Mafia, and Blackheart. And yes, still Sioux-cia on the drums.

Ladies and gentlemen, Thus explains why the band broke up. In case you forgot, this is Oxbow, Mafia, and Blackheart, and, yes, that is Sioux-cia pounding the skins.

Eastern is looking to improve its running game. Maurice was probably looking to get closer to a coast (more chances for career moves). Eastern, as a bonus, gets a guy who knows UND's running game. Eastern probably thinks it'll make a difference. Little do they know .... The New Four Horsemen can not be stopped.

You may assume whatever you may choose to assume I meant. However, in reality, I'm challenging your claim of a "mandatory meeting" that Jones attended instead the interview set up by whomever. What was that meeting? I'm going to assume Athletics "changes" and called and mandated by Faison. That's the only way in my mind Jones would miss free public relations. Even then, a surrogate should've been assigned to cover it.
