It's an off week for UND Mens Hockey so we need something to bicker about this weekend. I'm here to help. I've written up some of my thoughts about changes the NCHC needs to make. I've had these thoughts before, but the Omaha weekend helped crystallize them for me. Take a read: http://boardsroom.blogspot.com/2015/02/what-nchc-needs-to-change.html Share your thoughts here.

For those of us who don't follow MBB closely, can someone compare Jones' nine years and the prior nine years? Yes, different times and circumstances, but I'd like to see the records and performance that predecessor put forth and compare them.

Diversity!

Two quick points: 1. I'll agree with Mafia -- Michigan in South Bend to bolster attendance. They'll forget about "protecting the #1 seed". 1a. They'd be able to bus Michigan there; BobbyMo is on a plane to either South Bend or West Regional 2. This is like looking at polls ... meh ... nice diversion, but ultimately meaningless in the end.

Waitaminutehere ... where would that put us with game officials that wear white and black stripes? Would they support us or would we see protest groups outside?

The Grady Train

The better measure (and it's not straight line) would be from the interception point (standing start) to the 40. Maybe to the 35 to allow for the indirect path.

Massive, moves fast, smashes, and (UND) green ... yeah, I'd go with it.

So dagies gets closer and closer to his wish ...

Being a whore and vulgar: those are life-skills! ... I guess ...

UND's school color is not "Kelly green" because that's not hard defined. UND's school color, at least the shade of green, is Pantone 347. More information: http://und.edu/identity/logo-usage.cfm

I was talking influence. You're talking ... body mass?

If this is real and an issue, Mr. Faison needs to step up and explain that the good of the many is greater than the good of the few. Put another way: (Bubba + Hak + Brew) > Jones

Adidas basketball uniforms are "good enough" for mens basketball teams at Notre Dame, Baylor, UCLA, Wisconsin, Michigan, Kansas, Louisville, and Cincinnati. I think North Dakota can wear Adidas.

"OK, we've found a diamond in the rough that nobody else has seen. First thing we're gonna do is have the kid broadcast it to the world so everyone else gets a shot at them too ... " See the overt problem with the claim?

Could we get a consistent, cross-sport, representation for UND Athletics? 1. All headgear (helmets, ball caps, softball visors) are < color here > at home and < color here > on the road. 2. Stanard home jersey color is < color here >, standard road jersey is < color here > for all sports unless otherwise mandated by the NCAA. 3. Alternate jersey color for all sports is < color here >.

One more notion: Could we get a consistent, cross-sport, representation for UND Athletics? 1. All headgear (helmets, ball caps, softball visors) are < color here > at home and < color here > on the road. 2. Stanard home jersey color is < color here >, standard road jersey is < color here > for all sports unless otherwise mandated by the NCAA. 3. Alternate jersey color for all sports is < color here >.

I'd look at Michigan State and Marshall for inspiration as to what works and doesn't. Oregon loses something by changing it up so often, and half the time they look like a hot mess.

Ask me August 30.

C'mon ... that's funny.

Holland America ships tend to tender into a lot of their ports, meaning they use their life boats to shuttle people to and from the dock and ship stays further out in the harbor. Holland crews are used to sailing those vessels, like the one they used to pick up the pilot. This was probably less stressful to the Holland boat crew than a day tendering or a life boat drill (because they knew they weren't being graded by the captain ).

Thought for the day, going from LT to RT then TE: 6'5" 295 6'4" 275 6'5" 240 6'6" 275 6'6" 270 6'4" 230 Last year? The 2001 National Champions? This year's recruits. Good grief, guys are coming in at that size ....

I didn't say anything about either party or any political issue. I talked about politicians, demographics, prior election results, and how politicians behave.

If there's any chance to rock the boat and cause any sort of controversy a politician will flick away the red cape and side step (as bull rushes past). ... Ole!
