The Sicatoka

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.

But does he have the imprimatur of the #gobc.

If this source and their reports of a "mandatory" meeting is to be believed, I'd surmise that it is more related to all of Athletics. If it was a "just Jones" or "just MBB" meeting, Faison is smart enough to delay that for a radio interview.

Since you seem to know that factoid, do tell of the outcomes because if it was that important I'm pretty sure we can all surmise the subject matter.

UND Athletics Media Relations and Men's Basketball Staff faux pas.

Precisely.

Don't hang the curve ball Oxbow. I had the slam all typed in and then thought better and replaced it with this.

Ackbar Alert! Ackbar Alert!

Uh ... with whom. A high level internal meeting? Send a subordinate to do the interview and explain why no Jones. A high level meeting with the NCAA about logistics? Send a subordinate to do the interview and explain why no Jones. Frankly, you send a subordinate to the interview with Jones in case Jones tips over in front of the microphone.

My ID worked. I wonder if you showed up with the credit card used to buy them ...

Geez, I threw that batting practice curve ball and it took two hours for someone to smack it. This place must've had the OT hangover.

Quite a few assumptions in there, jacks. I'll wait for the announcements.

We've been burning through the rainy-day fund and pulling profits from BoND. So, we've tried the "revenue" side of the equation; it might be time to look at the "expense" side. http://bismarcktribune.com/news/state-and-regional/north-dakota-lawmakers-get-bad-news-in-revenue-forecast/article_ab9369e2-5f12-5bff-82ff-7a430a34dcfc.html
