The Sicatoka

This is from the GF Herald article about the new Midco deal. Are there any tells in there? Are there any options if say something were eliminated?

Instead of impressions or interpretations I like to go to the source. Here's what Kennedy has tasked the IAC with, to be complete by November 1. http://www.grandforksherald.com/sites/default/files/KennedylettertoIAC.pdf So, given that, here's what stands out to me: He specifically mentions NLI day on November 9. What sport(s) sign on that day? That may be a "tell" in itself. He wants the cost of each program and the attendance. I see a former Fortune 100 CFO doing a cost/benefit analysis right there. He has a hard end date - do this by November 1. Do it, do it, done. What a concept.

Hawk sounds.

I'm just anti-third down.

Cheapskate. You could endow a couple scholarships too.

That's an "everything is on the table, up for review" statement. Given that, folks are locking onto the wrong phrase in there.

Don't know Arizona law, but being that Denver and CC are private schools NCHC business is not subject to FOIA. (That's why most major conferences keep at least one private amongst their large publics; see, Northwestern of the B1G, or Vanderbilt of the SEC, or Stanford of the PAC12.)

I have a better idea: 1. Have Santiago gain 5.5 yards per carry so we never see 3rd down on offense. 2. Take the ball away from the other team on 1st or 2nd so they never see 3rd down. Easy-peasy.

Goon's knowledge of thermo-nuclear fission and Higgs bosons.

About SiouxVolley's theories of a rejuvenated WAC with FBS FB: I've roamed this Earth long enough to realize that "absolute words" come back to bite you; thus, with regards to what he's saying I'll say neither definitely nor never. It's plausible, possible, but has a whole lot of moving parts.

I assume you refer to NDSU's athletic budget. "What?" you ask. Why I say please refer to the Bresciani emails that Port got via FOIA. In there you'll find where Bresciani told Larson to prepare budgets with 5, 10, and 15% cuts to the athletic budget. No one seems to want to converse about that other than jdub27 mentioning it a couple times.

You get that off Mafia's iPod? Found this one on that device also.

I just listened to Faison with Heitkamp (there's 15 minutes of my life I'll never get back) and what lawkota transcribes above is the quote. And the context. There is a world of difference between "right now" and "for now". One states the current position going forward (funding football); the other is a hedge if you think a change might happen in the near future. Faison stated the position and then stated what comes with it (need for a football conference).

Best hair at the bald man convention.

I won't say "stinks" but I will agree with you that this first hawk logo is just the sacrificial anode.

Over the last week (at various forums I haunt) I've seen some interesting names pop up. Thus, I bring you ... The SWICH! -- The South West Ice Consortium for Hockey! Arizona State UCLA UNLV SDSU Utah But you need some old guard "cred" so Denver Colorado College USAFA That'll happen right after North Dakota joins the B1G as a hockey affiliate and the Alaska schools are both "option 1-ed" out of ice hockey by their legislature in Juneau. All the above will happen right after I win PowerBall and MegaMillions in the same week.

We know it wasn't the SDSU bunnies. The article said so. So who would be silly enough to transfer to USD, to see USD as an aspirational school. I'll go WIU. (Other MVFC schools have other aspirational schools.)

They're a species that may soon be extinct in Anchorage. On the east coast, they're just endangered.

A $1.4 million problem is better than what they are facing at UAA and UAF. https://mmf.smugmug.com/All-Galleries/Alaska-Nanook-Hockey/201617-Hockey-GIFS/n-wMqVcn/i-f9LMBbL/A

I'll disagree. Like I said before, after an uninspiring name my expectations for a logo could not have been lower. They beat them.

In a word: No. They didn't before; why would they now.

So you're kinda saying ...
