The Sicatoka

Like I said, full boat or nothin'.

Are you listening Coach Bubba? It's time. https://apps.nd.gov/dot/mv/mvrenewal/plate.htm It'll be awesome. The logo will look like it made that confused looking, improperly lit*, ugly, wooly, drool cow go sit in the corner. *The sunset is behind it but it is lit from the view's POV?

Well heck, if you're going go full boat. 14-0

No. I want the rule book called. Spurgeon's hit was dangerous. How do I know? The guy who received it felt the need to retaliate (and in the process went even further outside the rules).

The agents and marketers will tell you "Yes". They want their clients' faces out there.

Change.org petitions: Just as effective as hashtags.

As a Moderator, sorry, I missed it.

Last year at WMU UND won because UND16 and UND22 were the best two players on the ice. We'll need that and at least two more UND guys to really step up this time.

UND came out fat and sassy and sure MSU was putrid. And they paid dearly for the overconfidence. The only thing this team should be confident in is that they can lose to anyone anytime anywhere. And if that scares them they should play so that it doesn't happen.

Like I said, Nyquist should've received 5 and game and a flight to visit NHL brass.

And that's a problem. I don't like that hit in that position (head down by boards). If Nyquist had gone jaw first into the dasher what would people be saying?

Did anyone see the spear, called a slash(?), last night on Chara? I'm no Bruins or Habs fan, but that should be a game short of what Nyquist gets --> point of stick blade intentionally targeted to "mid-section". Ow. Rule 62. (Trying to find video.)

Nyquist must pay for that willful act. And it seems he will. Good. He almost cost a human being an eye. But, by Rule 59 (NHL rule book), that was a cross check. Just because it wasn't called does not change what it was.

I'm going with Jim Dahl's math: We need to win at least 3 games and not completely lay an egg in the NCHC playoffs. (I don't believe anything below PWR13 is safe this season.) http://collegehockeyranked.com/forecast/pwrbywins/ As far as this weekend, a split is the mandatory minimum. http://collegehockeyranked.com/forecast/pwrchart/north-dakota/oneweek/

Clean that spear.

I have a problem with "love taps" like that. It came the day a "love tap" like that broke loose a bone spur from a vertebrae in my back. By definition, a "love tap" like that is checking from behind and cross-checking.

I'm not ignoring it. This is the NDSU thread. I'm talking NDSU. So, see UND threads.

Now don't misread this: Spurgeon should have received a minor for the cross-check in the back (call it cross-check or boarding). Nyquist should have received five and game and then "supplementary discipline". (What the NBC guys call for seems about right.)

You do understand the difference between a "news story" and an "editorial" or "letter to the editor", don't you? That said, nice attempt at deflection Dan. Bresciani says 20% is real and that tough choices must (finally) be made at NDSU. The whistling past the graveyard is over.

" ... gloomy."

The position that is posted is, believe it or not, a key position. It sets up schmoozing events where UND brings in what Vegas calls "whales" (not small time high rollers, but whales) and wines and dines and then asks for donations. Why do you think it talks about setting up events at the president's house and at the boxes in the arenas? Know the whale's likes are (socials, sports), put them there, let the schmoozing commence, and then ask for money. If the person in that position is doing it right they pay for themself with one donor from one event. And in this budget climate we need events and donors. Don't like it? Sorry, but that's how the world works.

Read the first couple pages in this thread:

C'mon Dagger, I expect obtuse, abstract, innocuous thread titles from Fetch, but not you.

OK, who has today's "race sheet" put together? I know I'm cheering for "To The Glue Factory" in the seventh at Belmont and "Lame So Call The Vet" in the fourth at Saratoga. Who else am I cheering for and against tonight with no UND game to watch?

Pre-Davies most of South's hockey players (like all but 3) lived south of 32nd Ave. That's now Davies territory. With Davies now up and running, the demographics in the area covered by South are not pre-disposed to hockey.
