The Sicatoka

Yeah, dagies, be happy: You just got junk punched instead of a sucking chest wound.

Congratulations to the Taken Alives, Tex Hall, BRIDGES, and all the folks that claimed the old name meant "little snake". In your honor ...

Yes, completely safe. Bob Kelley smiles. But there will be controversy when those folks that voted for FH figure out the "Maplesoft Hawks" logo won't be at UND.

"What? Ben who? I thought that cool looking Chicago Blackhawks logo inspired bird was going to be the logo." The above is a preview of what you'll be hearing from students within three months. ... wait for it ... book it.

So we got tossed the bird ...

New poll: - How many minutes (late) after 10 do they start? - How long do they blather about "process and journey to this point" before they reveal?

I thought Hal was president emeritus of the %gobc. To stab him by going to Rite Spot is an unspeakable atrocity.

Uh ... back in the late 1980s a guy from Walsh Hall** showed up at a Halloween hockey game dressed as such*, including reservoir tip. Precedent. *He got kicked out. **No, not me.

Probably not the witty, but hopefully the vitriolic.

So who were these announcers? Why not twit (or is it tweet) at the ESPN3 color person for details? Better? Does ESPN3 archive games so the rest of us can hear the interchange?

In keeping this fiasco true to form from beginning to end, it's time to roll out the old, classic joke: Q: How do you keep rubes, chumps, and suckers in suspence? A: Tell you about 10 AM tomorrow.

There's only one game Saturday: Beat Cal Poly.

... or the two free drink tickets.

What if ...

Force of the North.

FYP.

The refrain is Mafia's motto and credo:

Given how he's coped through this nickname thing, this had been getting a lot of play lately on Mafia's iPod.

Were they keeping you awake?

"Ursula Andress, Catherine Deneuve, and Charo, twice." "That's Foreign Flicks, Mr. Connery. Foreign Flicks."

Boeser? It looked like everyone on the ice (both teams and the officials) was dragging late Saturday.

In this region, the fall is preparation of winter time. Most folks do that on Saturday (because they're working the rest of the week). A 1 pm Saturday game blows the whole Saturday. If they'd run games later in the day you could get some things done and still go to the game.

I think a weekend with UND playing the Hawkeyes, Skyhawks, and RedHawks opened the eyes of many at the Herald.
