There would be some sort of poetic justice in that. "Peaceful Protesters Shoot Each Other Up" ... film at 11 ...

No flash-bangs? No fire hoses?

Uh ... su-u-u-ure ...

They have a road block on Highway 1804. Isn't that, by definition, felonious restraint? ND Century Code definition: http://www.legis.nd.gov/cencode/t12-1c18.pdf But what does "restrains" mean (same reference): That road block is a Class C Felony.

Oh, your wife knows what the difference is. I ... nevermind ...

The president of one of them has been publicly told that he needs to work on his collaboration with the other by his boss. How's he doin'? https://www.sayanythingblog.com/entry/dean-bresciani-4/

You mean I bought all this popcorn for nothin'?

I'd say ask your girlfriend about the difference between a D and an O, but you've probably never given her an ... oh, ... nevermind.

They refurbished the BBF for volleyball.

Kennedy's Twitter from last night was pretty good. https://twitter.com/MarkKennedyUND

He got caught during the first OTT goal. The NHL Tonight studio guys were kind of rough on him claiming he was out of position. He deserved some of the blame*, but VAN gave up puck possession and made a terrible change. That was his "-1" on the night. https://www.nhl.com/video/dzingel-scores-on-rebound/t-282916132/c-45664403 *They say Troy should've come across but I believe if he would have he'd have bumped into Edler and screened the goalie even worse.

If there ever was a title of "Coach Emeritus" and a title ring given to that position (if earned), Hak should have it from last season.

You mean the Christmas ornament helmets -- gold, bright, shiny, ... hollow.

You sound like a dirty old man ... mentioning that, I miss PCM and Rick.

A decade or so ago a 3-0 smoke job would've had the good guys on the wrong end of the score. My how the times have changed.

I had to do a double-take. I know Ethan Frisch, but not from hockey. He's seems quiet, but is very responsible and mature. Show him how to do something, let him know when it needs to be done, and it just happens. Seems like a really good kid. But I'd have never guessed he is that level of hockey player before that article. Just the same, I'm claiming my UND fan-dom influence sending him the right direction.

Part of me wonders if the WIU noise isn't more about back filling in the event Youngstown State bails out of the MVFC. YSU has made "leaving" noise in the past. You have to wonder if they wouldn't rather play teams in PA, WV, VA, and the Carolinas (and they are the MVFC outlier in that they are a Horizon League team). Look at the map of the MVFC: Should YSU leave, adding UND would tighten the footprint (see second map here) and it would put the MVFC into two "clusters" (UxD, xDSU, UNI) + (ISUx2, WIU, SIU, MoSU). Now put that into the "put Summit at 10" blender" ...

Yup. Over Buffalo. The Futility Bowl.

So I go away for a week with Kennedy having a big win (the IAC renege) and I come back to find 20 sports still in play? Seriously? C'mon man ...

Who just won, and won huge? UND President Mark Kennedy. 1. He just owned the faculty. They complain when they're not involved in the decisions; but, when involved they completely renege. Based on this Kennedy no longer has to ask them anything. Why? He tried and they self-exposed as inept and unwilling. 2. He has carte blanche now regarding Athletics. He can do whatever he wants. Whatever he may have in store he now has complete and full reign.

Did you know if your parents never had kids you probably won't either.

It is carpoolers at Exit 111 (Mayville).
