The Sicatoka

OK, so we have our first Finlander (Janatuinen). Have we had a guy from Pennsylvania before Gornall?

You're just pissed that you got whupped by brianvf.

I suspect they're using a "Don Adam" approach.

Mafia's iPod also does weather forecasts. Who knew?

It looks like brianvf wins (one miss -- Murphy leaving). siouxczech29 is next (missing Gornall in and Murphy out).

Well, we have the newcomers. We know the losses. Do we dare call the game now under the assumption that there won't be any more departures? The newcomers: http://www.undsports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=13500&ATCLID=210185695

They're here. http://www.undsports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=13500&ATCLID=210185695

Schlossman reporting on Lisa Marvin's return to the ice. http://www.grandforksherald.com/sports/und-hockey/3780744-und-hockey-lisa-marvin-skates-first-time-accident It's good to hear she has gotten control of her right hand back.

bale31, friend, allow this UND fan to point out the obvious ... Things can change quickly and unexpectedly, no matter how comfortable the situation and family life.

Off subject but kind of fits here: Pittsburgh has 48 wins: third most in MLB, second most in the NL, second best winning percentage in MLB ... but only good for second in the NL Central Holy smokes are the Cardinals tearing it up.

Jimbo Fischer cut him loose. As well he should have. Baggage: it's not worth it in today's travel light, media driven society.

Georges: B misdemeanor. $225 fine. For comparison, former NDSU linebacker Travis Beck in 2012 got a B misdemeanor (minor in possession of alcohol) and a $325 fine. ND Courts searches are fun.

Jab? If I'd have taken a jab I'd have said, "Vikings fan? Really? Did you lose a bet?"

OK, so I don't feel so alone in my confusion about it. (When I think Big Sky and Vikings I get "Portland State" also.)

It's terrible to say about a college kid, but all I see is baggage. In Tomek We Trust.

Red could be seeing red.

I'm still holding out hope that one of Ohio State's three QBs will transfer here. I fear we have about the same chance of our hopes coming true.

Then again, that stability (8 year deal) may entice Hastings to hold out in Mankato until Lucia retires.

Did someone say "big player" and "true stakeholder"? May I introduce 6'1", UND volleyball outside hitter Chelsea Moser. Big. Player. Stakeholder. "Saying we're going to be North Dakota to me means saying we're going to stay the Fighting Sioux." -- Chelsea Moser, quite possibly the most honest person on the committee.

If somehow Dave St. Peter lost "Twins", would he continue on as just the "Minnesota MLB franchise"? "And here comes your Minnesota major league baseball team that plays home games at Target Field!"

Lutheran Social Services.

Agree. But when I hear "ruptured" ligaments in the ankle, the ankle that all of a right-handed golfer's weight ends up on, I'm not thinking he's going to be playing at the highest level in the world any time soon. Is this the twist of fate that keeps Spieth on the Slam path to the PGA Championship?

Imagine a world without hypothetical situations ...

The shot to right-center, 436 feet, was stunning. When it left the bat I thought he'd popped out to right.
