When UND went DI the then acting athletic director* (the man tasked with cleaning up Buning's mess) told the assembled coaches that things would be fine through the transition but that in 8 to 10 years a couple of them would be gone as it makes no sense nor is fiscally viable for a DI UND to be supporting 21 programs. *Love him or hate him, I personally do miss Phil Harmeson.

2016 IIHF U 18 World Championships Open Thread
The Sicatoka replied to MDtoGF's topic in Non-collegiate sports
The US committed the trip and gave up a fat rebound for an easy goal before penalty box door could be shut. -
University of North Dakota Hockey 2016 - 2017 Season
The Sicatoka replied to Frozen4sioux's topic in Men's Hockey
I guess chuckles (can I call him that, charliefunny is kinda long) hasn't heard of a "recruiting pipeline". That list is everyone in the pipeline and many, when they said they're going to UND, have already said it's for 2018, 2019, or beyond. Based on what we know now, at minimum expect four forwards and two defense. -

You're assuming Jack will work for UND. Are we sure he wasn't approved by UND to be their radio voice but will work for Learfield? Normally when you contract broadcast rights out you retain final say on who you'll accept to be the voice. -

Rick, buddy, we've talked about this: You may have a face for radio, but you have a voice for print. -
Learfield Sports - UND Athletics Radio?
The Sicatoka replied to The Sicatoka's topic in Men's Hockey
Who does Learfield Sports work with today? Well, dare I say most of the big conferences: the Big West, the Big Sky, the Big 12, the Big Ten. http://learfieldsports.com/university-partners/http://learfieldsports.com/university-partners/ One more thought, at random: Learfield and SiriuxXM have agreements for broadcasting. -
Lost in the recent events capturing the attention of UND fans is this: http://undhockey.areavoices.com/?p=103096 I guess I knew Learfield was involved in licensing for UND (via Learfield Licensing), but it seems Learfield is on track to (has?) taken over "UND Athletics’ exclusive multimedia rights": http://learfieldsports.com/university-partners/und-sports-properties/ And now per Schlossman that seems to include radio. The smartest thing they could do is, as Schlossman says, get Tim Hennessy.

This tournament looks like the old Schembeckler/Hayes era of Big Ten Football, aka the Big Two and the rest.

I'm surprised the guy isn't advocating building a football stadium at I-29 and Highway 200. Having said that, "Siouan" please review the board/forum rules, specifically those about trolling. You're showing.

Was he waiting for Pooly?

So, what if the 1987 Hrkac Circus played the 2016 CBS crew? What if the game was in the new REA? What if the game was in the old REA? What if Ditka drove the '87 team to the rink (either rink) in a school bus? ---> "Da ...Hawks!" < /my best "Bill Swerski" impression >

2016 Stanley Cup Playoffs Game
The Sicatoka replied to The Sicatoka's topic in Non-collegiate sports
The sleeper committee would've subpoenaed my records and found that I actually considered Simmonds for my main squad. -

Yeah, I probably would have had to go to the sleeper committee for approval on that one. -

Going strictly by memory here, but I believe Tim's first season broadcasting was where he had to watch the Evil M beat Gino's team in the National Championship. However, a year later he was broadcasting Gino's first title (1980). Think about that: Tim's been on the road every winter the UND hockey team for over 35 years. He's broadcast UND winning six of the eight titles, titles that now span seven decades. If Tim wants to step back a bit and spend some time with his wife and boys, I can't blame him. Hey, he's earned it. However, can I ask that if Tim is looking to slow down can he take the Vin Scully approach? Let someone else go on the road most of the time, but keep doing home games, or maybe television. -
Under the heading of team: Why this team should not have won a title: eleven freshmen <-- think about that ... and smile. Why this team should have won a title: stout, veteran defense; CBS line Under the heading of coaching: Why this team should not have won a title: first year head coach Why this team should have won a title: Brad Berry and his whole demeanor and approach I'll say it again: Thank you ... Dave Hakstol ... for daring to make an easily questioned (and vastly unpopular in some quarters) move to bring Brad back. And thank you Brad Berry for executing the philosophy ("RAISE IT!") and exorcising the demons.

I was so hoping it was a DB monitoring a no passing zone ...

I can't believe I didn't put Wayne Simmonds on this squad. < facepalm > -
Those two posts sum up my thoughts: An endowment, a very large (no annual issues) endowment. Nothing less.
