The Sicatoka

I hate to say it, but McFeely almost got something right with that statement ... almost: He said "small group".

And, on a whim, in case SiouxVolley is reading, The Big Sky would need to add a conference level womens sport to qualify to FBS minimums (6 mens; 8 womens). Probably the easiest* to "add" for the BSC would be either golf or soccer, maybe softball. *Remember, eight conference members have to participate for it to count.

The Operating Code of the Big Sky Conference requires (Article I, Section 1, as of 2010-2011*) core sports: Men (6): Basketball Cross Country Football Tennis Track & Field (indoor) Track & Field (outdoor) Women (7): Basketball Cross Country Golf Tennis Track & Field (indoor) Track & Field (outdoor) Volleyball *Too lazy to look for newer.

The current roster of UND Mens sports (10): Baseball Basketball Cross Country Football Golf Hockey Swimming & Diving Tennis Track & Field (indoor) Track & Field (outdoor) The current roster of UND Womens sports (11): Basketball Cross Country Golf Hockey Soccer Softball Swimming & Diving Tennis Track & Field (indoor) Track & Field (outdoor) Volleyball I count T&F "indoor" and "outdoor" because that's how the NCAA counts them when it comes to meeting sponsored sport minimums.

Of course Greene. He's a natural born sniper.

Not a member of the Gary Kaiser or Pat O'Leary fan clubs, eh?

These are trap games: It'd be really easy to look past CC to @UNO next week. I'm kind of glad CC put the world on notice by beating UNO last weekend. Let's hope we took note.

Sometimes the comedy just writes itself.

So you have to go and crush my butterfly and harsh my mellow.

BSU's two shots at the NCAAs: - win WCHA tournament - my scenario (above) If BSU has a clue they'll play this weekend like it is their last.

MSU-M over Minnesota BSU shocks UMD BSU completes the weekend double and stuns MSU-M (call it the Goldie hangover). UMD works Goldie like a streetwalker works the Sunset Strip.

Undoubtedly. But they could also self-inflict some irreversible damage as well.

"If any player scores a hat trick within 1000 feet of the arena shop between 7 and 10 pm this evening ... " Guys. Quick. A six year old just potted a hatty playing shinny over at U Park!

Interesting observation not really related to this series, but in general: Teams are so playing "system" hockey lately that defenses are getting surprised by the astounding tactic ... of splitting the D and skating straight up the ice at the opposing net. Parks nearly pulled it off against Duluth ( #$%&@ pipe). It was open all weekend against Niagara. And then there was this gem yesterday ...

Guys on the side of a milk carton: Schultz, N.; Caggulia; Johnson, L.;

Oh good grief. What do you do when you punt? Do you punt with your ball or theirs? Or does that annoying sky cam switch it out at the apex of the punt? #FirstWorldProblems

I know in college teams bring balls to the game, but I thought in the NFL there are no "team" balls just game balls. Is that not the case?

Seattle's various post-game interviews can make even the greatest Brady-haters Patriots fans for a game.

I may be wrong with this, but I believe in the Cherski era NCAA players only played for THREE seasons as freshmen were ineligible for competition.

Yup. They were missing about 8 points from the first quarter. You give me TDs; I give you FGs; that's a trade I'll always make.

The Tundra

I believe a UND womens player did it last season.
