    I said when the first cuts were made that it wasn't enough. Has anyone heard how the fundsraising for men's golf is going or is this the answer to that question also? I'm thinking M/W S&D should be concerned. I'm thinking non-core Big Sky sports should be concerned. As far as "conference alignment" unless there is an offer from the MVFC plus Summit there is nothing to talk about .... Unless there is something wild, radical, and new to talk about.

    Show me where I said that. What I said is taking a PWO early is short changing yourself and we don't know what else was said, in either case.

    I have a different beef with how people take turns: You do not need to swing left to turn right (or swing right to turn left)! Your Kia isn't that big; and honestly, neither is your F-150 if you knew how to drive. Wait an extra quarter-second and then turn, or better yet, actually turn the wheel instead of taking that huge radius glide path of a corner. Trust me: you won't twist the wheel off the steering column with an extra 1/8th of a turn. And there's a schmuck sub-class in these folks, namely, those who are on a two-lane road and turning left and rather than moving toward the center paint so you can get by on the right they move to the right so you can not get by them. I asked someone about that behavior one time. The answer? "I don't like being passed on the right." "You'd rather be rear ended?"

    And now the Bismarck Tribune calls for Bresciani to step down or be removed.

    I'll agree with your first part. I said then the kid short-changed himself. Your second part, however, I have to wonder why the kid took the PWO. What was said to him then? None of us know for sure.

    Some folks haranguing this new logo are missing the obvious: They get their wish, namely, the hockey jerseys will stay with the 2015-16 look as this really doesn't work on a jersey front. It's a nice, simple, logo that is at its best as a secondary logo. It's fine on a FB helmet; it'll be a solid hockey helmet sticker or shoulder patch. And it'll be find on basketball shorts. Coaches' polos will be very sharp and it'll make a fine lapel pin. As much as some claim to like some of the other logos mentioned, I am willing to bet that if the hockey team hit the ice this year with any new logo on the jersey front it would receive far less than a warm reception. With this logo the hockey jersey front is a non-issue this year (and probably for a few more).

    I take it you don't shop for your own clothes so you haven't seen that type of sticker before.

    Powell's in charge of MBB. Here is who's who in terms of people and responsibilities. http://www.undsports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=13500&ATCLID=3683583&DB_OEM_ID=13500 If you have a question about what's going on in your kid's classroom at school, do you ask the teacher, or go directly to the principal? Hint: Ask the teacher. If you don't get a satisfactory answer, then you go to the principal. Closing thought: Powell's responsibilities include MBB ... and FB. I'm sure getting the MBB page updated is priority in mid-August with the start of FB just around the corner. Ask geaux_sioux about that, I'm sure he'll have an opinion.

    BYU also does not want its teams playing on Sundays (think basketball).

    OK, so let me get this straight: Years ago John Buccigross puts out hats that say "Cawlidge Hawkey" and they are like way so cooooool. So, seeing that, and the number of college hockey fans that scooped them up, Adidas plays off that with the new nickname and they are like way so baaaaaad?

    That's about what I estimate as well -- hire a scapegoat either way. Such typical "management": Need to make a decision? Hire a "consultant" so you don't have to and can shift the blame.

    There's only one way to get game experience.

    So what does this mean (other than a bill for the ND SBoHE)? I have my suspicions and beliefs but I'd like to poll the audience first.
  15. The Sicatoka
    The only poll that matters is the pole you raise a banner on.

    Speed is an issue. Gateway in GF is one that gets me as posted too slow. When Veterans in WF was new it was posted at 35 mph. That was too slow. Even now with new business around it it could still be 40 mph. Then 19th Ave N in Fargo, that's 50 from the interstate to the airport turn, but then down to 40 to the NDSU. Why? There's no cross traffic because there are no side streets for that mile. Or east Century in Bismarck, and on and on ... To me there is a worse issue out there than speed or uncontrolled intersections: People have started interpreting a yellow light as "gun it" and are running red lights. I've seen it in Bismarck and it's really bad in Fargo. It's not great but not as bad in GF. My advice in any of those place is when the light goes green for you, then look and go.

    Don't worry. You were before.

    Q: How do you deal with a guy who likes tossing lit matches? A: Don't be pouring gasoline around. Bresciani tipped his own gas can.

    The messenger, hatchet man, whatever, on "shooting the messenger". https://www.sayanythingblog.com/entry/on-shooting-the-messenger/
  21. The Sicatoka
    No.
  22. The Sicatoka
    The only funny thing here is the crowd with pitchforks and torches outside Rob Port's door for merely being the messenger.
  23. The Sicatoka
    Don't buy the distraction folks. And Delaware is just that, a useful distraction by the NDSU AD to give cover to Bresciani's issue with the ND SBoHE.
  24. The Sicatoka
    Easy. The outcome of this will also impact UND. Like the man said ...
  25. The Sicatoka
    Bresciani (in his email related to the situation) regarding an email from an alumnus said, "For even me to dip down to this level of discourse would in my experience be ill-advised." * So addressing the concerns of alumni of his university is a "dip down" for him? C'mon bison73, know your place before Bresciani. *See here, July 31, 5:24 pm
