The Sicatoka

No, I don't believe the B1G has a Scientology division or offers conference play in that.

Bridgestone (with Broadway Street right there) is a lot of fun. No further comment.

Yup, and far less tough and gamy than elk.

I've been accused of being many things in life, but "humorless" is not one of them. If I was humorless I'd remove every poster that gives me even a remote whiff of "poseur odor" from this site. Instead, they survive to self-immolate (which always makes me laugh and smile).. And because you seem to have completely missed the reference ...

Mmmm .... bison .... it's what's for dinner.

St. Louis? Really? Why not MSP? Oh, yeah, ... those guys. Why not CHI? Oh, yeah, ... that logo that UND can't be associated with (but the B1G apparently as the 2017 hosts can)*. Why not WPG? Oh, yeah, ... that's Canada which rhymes with anathema to the NCAA. Why not DEN? Nevermind ... If ARI got their "stuff" together on a new arena, but that is now ASU turf (sand?) I guess. STL it is. *The Herald says 2017 CHI is hosted by "Our Lady of South Bend". I thought the B1G was hosting there. < shrug > Having the Fighting < five letter name of a race of people > host there might be even worse.

To me Cincinnati is a no-brainer. It gets West Virginia a local rival and gets the Big XII into (lots of TVs) Ohio. After that, Memphis makes the most geographic sense. Connecticut make the "TV" sense, Houston makes no sense at the Big XII already owns Texas, and BYU makes ... what sense?

Let's recap: Full Membership? Pipe dream. Never happening. Hockey Affiliate Membership? Worth the conversation if the B1G calls, but it ultimately comes down to ... this.

So every time you point out SV might be wrong does an angel get its wings or something?

Pure guess by me, but reading the Herald story and the mention food and a soft nightclub scene, you have to think more bar-restaurant. If there wasn't already a Shotgun Sally's that'd be my instinct.

We were in remission, and then you came back.

Spitfire in West Fargo has better, and one of the owners is a big UND Hockey fan.

If the Sharks win it's Aaron Dell. If the Penguins win it's Pens Post-Game guy Jay Caufield. And yes, he may be an SCSU Husky, but it's hard to not like Matt Cullen.

What'd you give to help out?

Rob Port and his allies in the Legislature will more than cover that for us.

That whole FFD saying "we'd let it burn" about NDSU's chemistry building to me is a bit of a ruse. Honestly, would any FD send in personnel when they don't know what all is in there that could kill them in the process of fighting the fire? That's why buildings (new or old) have chemical cabinets and fire suppression systems. The only reason I could see any FD going in is if they knew there were civilians in the building that could be saved.

Correct. The old Med School building (formerly St. Michael's Hospital) will be repurposed; it will house new departments. Older buildings (i.e. approaching 100 year old buildings) around campus will be retired.

If Tex Hall (et al) should have their knickers in a twist over anything it should be that Ms. Warren claimed to be something she's not. Ms. Warren attempted to co-opt Native heritage and culture based on her claim of Native ancestry based on "high cheekbones". <-- That's pretty stereotypical and racist right there. I'll worry about Tex (et al) right after they call out Ms. Warren as racist for that.

And to think Drouin and Fabbri were two of the last four "Sicatoka II" eliminated.

I understand that; however, the combination of "we can't maintain what we have" (linked article) with "hey, we want to build more" won't play well with many in the Legislature.

What? You don't think "Sicatoka II" has a shot at catching Fetch?

The jerseys hate each other. It matters not who is in them.

You might get attendance that rivals this: http://b1gicehockey.blogspot.com/2015/03/blame-game-where-does-real-blame-lie.html

If we're going "ifs and buts" I'd go back in time and run the main railroad line and Highway 10 (now I-94) where Highway 200 runs today. That way you'd probably have "Grand Fargo" and "Bisnot" as the two major cities. Then I'd put a university in each and be done for the whole state with the exception of maybe a two-year in the each and a two-year in the west.

How about maintaining what you have before adding in more that won't be maintained? http://www.inforum.com/news/4040000-ndsus-chemistry-building-aging-so-poorly-crews-may-let-it-burn-if-it-catches-fire
