The Sicatoka

UNDoubtedly, this group meets at GroUND RoUND. I find their belief unfoUNDed as well.

Why do people think I threw ScoUNDrels in there? Just cause I'm dirty and rotten?

And now we go live to the former mayor of Bismarck's home:

With all the turnover I just realized I'm going to have to buy a game program ...

ESPN math. (I wondered the same. My guess: NYY hadn't secured first WC yet so they were part of it, then TEX, CLE et al.)

Chance of winning second wild card (per ESPN this morning): HOU 53% ANA 35% MIN 6%

Robbing banks is dumb unless you really know you can get away with it. It's not the locals but the Feds who come after you.

We're all expecting the defense to tend to the business at hand until the forwards acclimate and the goaltending establishes itself (see: 43:19). This means we'll have freshman scoring in droves, lights-out goaltending, and shaky defense, to start the season.

Wow ... The Forum has created an interactive map to keep track of all the activity. Interactive map: Rash of robberies not unusual, Fargo police say http://www.inforum.com/news/3850122-interactive-map-rash-robberies-not-unusual-fargo-police-say

Connectivity improvements. Cell phone charging. And beer. http://undhockey.areavoices.com/?p=100867

That "hawk in a headdress" logo going around has already been litigated in court. It belongs to someone (not of UND) and they've already gone to court to protect their ownership rights once. (Someone had linked to the news reports here once already.)

You are wise, Grasshopper.

WPG v. MIN would sell. MAN v. IOWA ... not so much. There may be a better game on that same ice the next night ...

So they've moved up from gas stations to liquor stores.

Stecher.

Be happy. Maybe this is the "flip" from the by-gone days. The Montanas went FCS (DI-AA) and the Dakotas stayed DII. Now the Dakotas appear to be the ones making the forward move this time around. But there are a lot of other shoes to drop I suspect before all this sorts out.

Oh, I'm well aware of the benefits of Coaches Club level. And no, I'm not selling you the parking pass for 1/3 of face.

Mr. Cerrantino gets the special teams gold star for his chase down and forced fumble. That really turned momentum. The "11th" guy (late to the field) who ruined UCD's fake field goal attempt gets the goat horns. They would've had success on that play; and worse yet, now everyone has it on tape. Lose. Lose. But the most impressive thing on the day to me: the last drive. How many times have we seen UND give up a two score lead with about 5-7 minutes to play and then promptly go three-and-out, thus giving the opposing team hope, the ball, and about four minutes to try to score? But this week, instead, UND lets UCD to within seven and then ... slams the door. UND gets the ball with 6:07 to play at their 29. Instead of giving the ball right back they actually do what winners and champions do in that situation: control the ball and run the clock out by grinding out first downs. That to me was impressive. That to me is a step in a maturation process that I was happy to see.

Is that an original plains Roughrider on a Nokota horse?

Sundogs was terrible long before BRIDGES. They just sealed the coffin.

So ... you're thinking someone's going to make a Coaches Club level donation ($1350) and then sell the prime perk of that club level (parking) to you for less than 1/3 the price they paid.

Who you kidding? That could be a defensive barn-burner!

Uh ... new here? Sundogs was first rolled out by the most PC group on campus, BRIDGES, i.e. the group that drove the name change in the first place.

Hockey's Cap still lists Kristo as a non-roster player.
