    Uh ... yes? http://eagnews.org/sc-school-bans-american-flag-from-football-games/

    Which means he'll listen to us just as much as Hak did.
  3. The Sicatoka
    Yes. I get that. But I'd still like to see the basis, the numbers, behind it. Otherwise it's just a number.
  4. The Sicatoka
    Where's that $4 million number coming from? Worst case scholarships (63 --> 85) is 22 times 2 (title IX) for 44. At $20k per that's $880k. What else? Coaches? OK, double the current numbers. What else? NDSU and UND both have the FBS minimum sport sponsor ship (16) so that's done. Maybe add a few more women's scholarships for extra Title IX insurance? And ... ... ... I'm getting about half your number at worst. What am I missing?

    Back to the personal attack when you're out of anything else.

    We know the IAC will recommend something to President Kennedy. What do you expect to be the outcome? What would you do? Background: UND previously had 21 DI athletic programs (before eliminating baseball and men's golf) UND currently has 19 DI athletic programs M (8): BB, FB, H, ITF, OTF, CC,Tennis, S&D W (11): BB, VB, Soc, Softball, H, ITF, OTF, CC, Golf, Tennis, S&D Non-core BSC sports are: MH, WH, Soc, Soft, MS&D, WS&D

    That's high maintenance. My point being, ESPN's Saturday options this week were ...

    You do realize you are making my point for me: There is no college football this weekend except CSU at NDSU and Cal at Hawaii, thus, ESPN picked up the last (only) option in the bar. I say "only" because ESPN is not paying to send a crew to Hawaii (high maintenance girl) for a no-ratings game when they have a cheaper no-ratings game at hand. Even ESPN's own folks view next weekend as the start of the CFB season. "ESPN/ABC Set for Best College Football Opening Weekend Schedule Ever" -- where they list the games of weekend of Sep 3. http://espnmediazone.com/us/press-releases/2016/05/espnabc-set-best-college-football-opening-weekend-schedule-ever/

    UND's the hottest chick at the other bar* down the street. *hockey versus football allusion
  10. The Sicatoka
    It's NDSU speak for "a hot date". (Dear "The Hawk", the poseur act is pretty transparent. And moderators can see email and IP addresses.)
  11. The Sicatoka
    Two. Foot. Putt.

    ESPN's "relationship" with NDSU is kind like that girl at the end of the bar that everyone "knows": Not the first, second, or third choice on an evening, but it's there whenever you want it, ready and willing.

    I bet you get that a lot; but that aside, I meant having them made with the new UND logo, not you going in for a stretch to make them.

    The Bison are Swedish? The Bison are Swedish!!! ... buncha meatballs ... Honestly, the opposite of love is not hate but is indifference; the same is true for hate. The worst thing any program can have toward it is indifference. And for me only two kinds of teams win titles: Mine; Not mine.

    Anyone called the state about license plates yet? http://www.dot.nd.gov/divisions/communications/docs/Specialty plates.pdf
  16. The Sicatoka
    NMSU? Wichita State? EWU? Portland State? But, definitely there are, " ... lots of moving parts ... "
  17. The Sicatoka
    Oh my ... I hadn't considered that ... but that is very true.
  18. The Sicatoka
    Well, if it's NDSU's it involves a car and a park in Omaha ... feel free.

    If they can't separate personal likes and feelings from objective reviews of pros, cons, costs, benefits, they are unfit for the committee and unfit for leadership. If they are there as advocates they should be removed.
  20. The Sicatoka
    Track, football, and soccer have a pretty solid resolution now with the HPC. Tennis is in good shape with the agreement to use the new tennis facility in Grand Forks. Baseball is already gone. I'd say softball should be very wary give their facility was rated the same. I'd say swimming should be wary as their facility need should be near the top (bottom?) of the list now as well.

    That committee was neither formed by Athletics nor by Kennedy. That committee was formed by the University Senate, the same University Senate that passed resolution after resolution against the old nickname. Need I say more? Again, I say my hope is that Kennedy is taking all this under advisement. (That's the PC way of say, "I'll pretend you have a voice and make you feel important, but in the end I'll do it my way because I'm the one truly tasked with the power and responsibility.")

    I won't rip on "renting". I may be looking at buying a place out of state and just renting in ND. What I will say is this: Lead from the front. If you expect your people to do something you should be there doing it first. If that's not happening that's what I take issue with.

    Given that, the move by Idaho (no SJSU games) is absolutely inside-out; overall, they're good for 2020 now, but now short two games in 2019.
  24. The Sicatoka
    Is (again, I don't know, someone will inform me) 2020 is a 12-game year? If it is, it looks like Idaho would be set perfectly if they had 9 conference games in 2019 and 2020. And that's not a hint; just an observation.
  25. The Sicatoka
    Regarding Idaho and dropping the SJSU series from 2019-2022: Here are Idaho's future non-conference opponents: http://www.fbschedules.com/ncaa/sun-belt/idaho-vandals.php Assuming an 8-game BSC schedule, they'll need three games in 2017 and 2018. They have them. In 2019 they have two still (after dropping SJSU). If they're in the BSC, that's 8 games for 10 total. Why'd they not try to keep the at SJSU game? In 2020 they have three still (after dropping SJSU). Add 8 BSC and that's 11.* *Is 2020 a 12-game season by chance?
