The Sicatoka

Every minute they talk about anything but the athletes is a minute they aren't talking about the athletes.

I can't find it right now but I thought Bucci and Melrose made some comments about "what do we call these guys" during the national semis.

Are any of us intimately familiar with the day-to-day of Jayson Hajdu's job? I know one person who is: Jayson Hajdu. I'll listen to what he has to say.

Like I said before ... Let's read Kelley's exact words: Much ado about nothing folks. He tipped his hand in his wording. He'll "further review all the feedback received" and work with his consultants (and his retirement party planner Dr. Eric Longie) and they'll help him verify as he's already said," ... it is in the best interest of the University to have a new nickname ... " Or, he'll call the NCAA and have them be the bad guy in this with a "no nickname doesn't meet the intent of the settlement; name or naughty list" letter.

Emotion seldom equals logic.

But they missed the chance to the be hero to some (and stayed the hero in the eyes of others).

I've heard it used that way (as less than a compliment).

The NCAA put Marco Hunt on the ice with UND after UND got him removed from the list of NCHC officials. Was it so we could kiss and make up?

You don't think Kelley would love that? He'd look like the good guy and the bad guys look worse. Win-win for Kelley.

Ah, yes, "the Engelstad scenario" -- do as I demand. Look where we ended up with that.

One little statement clears much of this up.

Scott, many folks here have no idea who Kendall Baker is/was.

It takes all kinds. As long as it stuck to collecting stuff, hey, some folks collect dead animals and hang them on walls. Not my thing either.

John, John, John, the FBI has no burden of proof like a court or jury. The FBI could've spread whatever innuendo they wanted. The FBI said they found nothing.

Hajdu is (as one American president coined it) "the man in the arena". It's wise to listen to that point of view; you don't have to agree with it, but you do need to consider it with an open mind.

All these good questions being turned 180 degrees today, are folks ready if they swing back 180 again? I ask myself this question every day: Are you ruled by logic or emotion.

I think maybe Madam Senator ...

Don't link, show.

The old name was gone when Kelley got here. There was nothing to save.

Hot? No. I feel more like the resident historian.

The State (elected officials from Bismarck) made those overtures. As has been said here, SR tribal council wasn't interested and you can't negotiate with an empty chair.

They took the old name. They "took" the no nickname option (not really). Now they tease that they'll give the option back so you're happy ... missing that they took the old name. I believe the phrase is "you're being played; we're all being played."
