The Sicatoka

Tell me about the offensive line. I'll know how things are going from that.

I said if UND were to "give up" the rights. That's different from assigning or transferring the rights. A transference retains control (by a tribe); giving them up (by not using them) releases them to the open market. Again, the key in this: retain control of the mark.

Control. The NCAA wants that logo under the control of an organization (UND) the NCAA can control (or is it manipulate). Were UND to give up the trademark rights the mark goes to the open market (loss of control for both UND and the NCAA). Again, it's not that difficult.

UND must maintain and retain the trademark. See the Settlement Agreement, section 2.j "Intellectual Property". To maintain and retain a trademark (a trade mark) the mark must be used in trade, or as section 2.j says "commercial use". Trade or commercial use means sales of goods with the mark, specifically the name or logo. It's not that difficult.

And battle with a high compete level and be hard to play against and willing to go to the hard places.

Are we gonna let the elevator bring us down? Oh, no let's go! Let's go crazy; Let's get nuts; Let's look for the purple banana; 'Til they put us in the truck, let's go!

Look at it this way: the Wild are tumbling, but at least not as badly at Montreal. https://www.nhl.com/standings

What would happen if BUF (0-4) and MIN (0-4) faced each other in a Super Bowl?

Not a fan of the bottom ... thing (is it a body, or a jaw).

< hanging head in shame > I gave up on the boys that day. I turned off the TV, got in the vehicle, and started driving to town to pick up some stuff for the fridge and for projects around the house. But I turned the radio on to listen to the close-out. And then somebody finally broke a tackle*, and I almost drove into the ditch. * (c) E. Schmidt

Ed Schafer is in the rare and unique position where he'll be liked after this interim role no matter what. Plus, he's in a period of time where action has to happen (per the Governor). And he also knows there are some things at UND that needed to be looked at one way or the other. Ed, quite simply, has the opportunity to tighten up the ship and no one can really say much about it (see 4%). Right man, right time, right place.

Budgets were set when oil was closer to $100 per barrel, and before ag commodities fell also. Today oil prices are ...

But do folks die of, from, or with the condition called "being a grammar nazi"?

So 4% is about $20 million for UND. Then why is NDSU (subject to same 4% cut order) only talking about $6.4 million in cuts? (See 'Bresciani' thread this forum.)

Earth, Wind, and Fire co-founder Maurice White died this week at age 74 of Parkinson's.

When it comes down to it, it's not the school you put the kid into but what the kid puts into school.

The curry was awesome.

It's supposed to be the bird that Pioneers saw overhead when they settled the Denver area: a red-tailed hawk.

Megatron's made over $100 million in his career already. If he's managed that money well he has no money worries (for himself or his kids). If he wants to get out of the game while he's still physically able and is not a post-concussion statistic, who can blame him.

Schmidt's been busting on "Saint" Luke for "one career broken tackle" for a decade and a half.

But I still like this "fighting hawk" more.

Probably clean-up/shorten-up the "tails".

Anyone else think this is Megatron leveraging for a trade to a contender?

Looking at that list, my personal opinions: - you can keep Education majors in today's hyper-PC world (out go Clay and Shirley) - mentioning Shirley, he's not ready: VCSU and MSU in the NDUS are not enough - I'm stunned the former MN Congressman (Kennedy) is on the list - Noren was up for the job in once before; I can say this because I'm not on the committee: I'm worried about age (see: Kelley) I see Naganathan, Olsen, and Rudin as the top three. Two are research; one is the money guy who knows the State.

If her "college" had more students than the sophomore class at GF Red River HS she might've been taken seriously.
