Oversight. Fixed.

Boutique (noun): a business that serves specialized clientele; "a small investment boutique". If Kennedy used the word, IF, it's far from sexist much less an insult*. *This reeks of when BRIDGES had a problem with CEK using the word pedigree** because he did not know of the background of one of their alleged experts***. **pedigree (noun): the recorded ancestry, especially upper-class ancestry, of a person or family. ***Just because you are niggardly in your use of the language, and have a small vocabulary, do not expect me or others to be the same.

The SJW Hit List NHL: CHI MLB: CLE, ATL NFL: WAS, KC NCAA: FSU <-- don't kid yourself, they still want that crown jewel And then some day they'll get Golden State to move further from "Warriors".

Well, we have nine entrants this year. After night one, this year's noobie "Engineer" is in the lead. Ray77? Notsomuch.... Eng'r 5 Sica 4 -O 3 Kool & 90 2 stoney & rube 1 GMB & Ray77 ... biding their time ...

People sending letters seem to be forgetting to include the donations in them.

Football? Five home games. $20 per seat. $100 at gate. Buy the season ticket, get a break. Hockey? 21 home dates (counting 2 exhibitions). $20 per seat. $420 at gate. Buy the season ticket, get a break. The problem with football (all, not just UND)? Big rosters, few home gates.

Fetch, seek help, and stay on the meds.

But Charlie Murphy and Prince are partying together again somewhere.

They claim (proof?) he called women's hockey a "boutique sport". Boutique? As in stylish and pricy? Or like a business that serves a small clientele at outrageously high prices?

So, now what's the scheme.

That Sano can really turn on the inside fastba... Oh. The other ones.

I could deal with the first two, but the helmet? They could put it on the one side ala football.

And look at all the takers.

< checking to make sure it's safe to come back > So, looking at the schedule poster, you can see the "North" and Pogo's 14 on front of his bucket but not the jersey shoulders or the sides of his bucket. My guess (pure speculation) is that the new logo may appear on the shoulders and sides of the helmet but the base designs will be unchanged. PS - Why isn't there a C on Pogo's jersey. Tsk-tsk.

So, .... will we see changes to the hockey jerseys this season? < ducks and dashes for the exit >

RE: the own or rent analogy What if owning is too expensive. Look at PSU. It took nearly a Ralph* to get them off the ground. All at once. The rest of the B1G has seen that. A $3-4 million nudge per year for 10 years is not the same. The question isn't "rent or own"; it's do we want an eighth team. *Ralph (noun): the fiscal equivalent of $113 million dollars.

Are you saying, ... geography matters.

That's the only way the Rams are worth a billion.

CHI in 6 STL in 6 ANA in 5 EDM in 7 MON in 7 BOS in 6 WAS in 5 PIT in 7

Tick-tock, tick-tock. So far, 6 from CHI, 5 each from ANA and WAS, so we have a pretty good idea of who people think will be hoisting a Cup.

That's a point for negotiation. If they are coming to UND and asking, UND can ask for and get what it needs or it can politely say, "Thanks but no thanks."

I didn't drill that deep. I just took the USCHO numbers at face value. < shrug > So, throw out the Minnesota numbers. Do Minnesota hockey fans want UND back (think: fan interest). That alone is worth it. Engaged fans are easier to separate from their dollars.

I spot checked three seasons (2011, 2014, 2017) at USCHO. From 2011 to 2017 Wisconsin's average is down 3000. From 2014 to 2017 Minnesota's average is down 2000. (So my $1.8M is $1.2M. I can live with that; my point holds.) Their gates are down, their dollars are down, and their fan interest is down.
