The Sicatoka

Sharp can't end it on a pure breakaway.

When you're basically playing four defensemen you're going to look tired.

The EKG strapped to the Blackhawks chest just beeped. I was sure they were flatlined.

That two minute run by the Ducks may just put them in the Cup finals.

Chicago radio guy about pooped himself when Seabrook just scored.

To whom do I send the invoice for this service?

Then they're wrong. If you know Brad Berry you know what people call him.

To change it up I'm listening to the WLS (Chicago) audio on iHeart Radio.

Computer issues for a whole month? I thought the %gobc was well connected.

But that doesn't answer the football question Volley asked: What compensates for the tier one football treatment at NDSU? And then there's wresting (another mens program balanced by ... ?). Johnboy: Did you know there are 288 mens and just 129 womens athletes at NDSU?

I don't see where the tiering approach applies based on which prong you use. (I admit I just quickly glanced. Third period of ANA@CHI Game 3 is starting.)

There's only one problem with your theory: WIH is not as elite as you claim. If it is elite, so is UND WBB. Their total expenses are within $150k of each other ($1.3M vs $1.17M). My plan to pare back and stay proportional? Cut WIH, WS&D, MS&D, baseball (none required by Big Sky) Expenses: $1302k, $452k, $313k, $513k, --> W: $1754k; M: $826k Grants (rounded): 18, 12, 5, 6.5 --> W: 30; M: 11.5 Participants: 27, 25, 23, 32 --> W: 52; M: 52 In my idea Coach Brew and the WT&F* coaches would be giddy as they'd benefit as monies previously intended for WIH would need to come their way (proportionality). Same story for grants: WT&F and WSoc would benefit, but some mens teams would pick up some help Participants? I couldn't have planned that any better. That would put UND down to 17 sports; it wouldn't affect any Big Sky required sports. It would move current budgets around to help out in areas where the help is needed (womens non-revenue sports). *When I say T&F here I mean IT&F, OT&F, and CC as a conglomerate

I was thinking "DI era" (1948 and on). Yes, Joe Brown busts that.

Hak shoots right; Blais shoots left; that ain't it.

If the "odd man out" would've been Rube Bjorkman the answer would be "all have winning records at UND".

Bob Peters was only 2 seasons. That's my question: Who is considered the first UND hockey coach in the conversation? Don Norman?

You saying the official %gobc stance has changed and they're rolling with the flo ... ridas?

Dean Blais is from International Falls, MN. I'm pretty sure he carries a US passport.

" ... bloodthirsty warmonger ... " ... with a Nobel Peace Prize ...

Members of the %gobc.

More to your point, ND is very different east to west. The five counties that border the Red River are very Minnesota-centric minded. They look to Minneapolis. By the time you get west to Bismarck the focus is split between Minneapolis and Denver; by the time you're to Dickinson Minneapolis is an afterthought, very Denver focused. The western part of the state is very proud of the TR history (see: Medora). Maybe we'd find another way to tie east to west better.

Leave Cousin Larry* out of this. *a couple times removed

I believe the mourning period for BB is over. Long live BB King. And can you believe this far and an no Stones (and I'm really not a Stones guy).

UND supports 21 DI programs; NDSU supports 16 DI programs. Pull the hockey budgets (M/W) out of UND, and UND is running 19 programs on a smaller budget than NDSU runs 16 programs on. Based on that, I'd have no problem at looking at UND's programs and making tough decisions.

Well then call the National Park Service and get "Theodore Roosevelt National Park" renamed because all he did is squat there.
