The Sicatoka

Why not just take the nickname "Fighting Irish" and put the hypocricy on full display.

UND 5 tOSU 2

Uh ... maybe, kinda, sorta, ... Matt Frattin. EDIT: My misread -- thought you meant for a season. EDIT THE EDIT: Didn't Simonson and Olson sit for the Manitoba exhibition game because of an off-ice issue?

C'mon Mafia, you missing the obvious? Hot goalie. Poor officiating. </ standard excuses >

FIFY.

Throw away.

What do the Texans have for players/picks? I heard yesterday that the Texans are looking to protect a frequently injured, 29 year old Arian Foster by limiting his carries for the coming season.

Don't forget to warsh the cah.

You mean where they could've gone eight in the box and single safety/man on the outside?

The thin mints are with the peanut butter ... on the top shelf. (I've heard him explain it once.)

A good start would be to extend two goal leads to three and four goal leads.

So, they never evaluate the quality of their production and try to fix the problems.

Looking at remaining schedules, I think I agree with you.

... don't forget the off-field baggage. That'll affect the value.

I'm sure DeMarco Murray is thrilled to hear this.

Saturday's UMD at Miami game: - camera operators - average to slightly above - producer - should be fired immediately* *You need to stay with the primary camera for 75% or more of the game. This person kept going for tight shots during live play which is difficult for the best of the best to pull off. The secondary cameras are for replays and stoppages or when the puck is in a corner scrum. This person should be made to watch NBCSN doing the NHL for no fewer than ten games to begin to get a clue of how to produce a hockey telecast.

He can't be serious. Long before I'd take CHI: 19, 81, 88, and 10 PIT: 87, 71, 14, and 72 (or 39) BOS: 37, 46, 63, and 17 LAK: 11, 12, 23, and 77 ANA: 10, 15,17, and 21 WAS: 8, 19, 90, and 21 STL: 42, 74, 91, and 20 (or 26) and that's just thinking forwards.

You feeling OK? You're talking hockey without a negative tone.

The NCHC held a camp for officials before the season. The NCAA used to run with a (one) referee and two linesmen on the ice. I'm advocating going to that on the ice and a live "eye in the sky". And I'd like to see USA Hockey, the IIHL, and the NHL create a developmental program for officials. You find the good ones from the lower ranks, and move them ON MERIT AND SKILL through HS, juniors, the NCAA, the AHL, and finally the best end up in the NHL. We claim officials are professionals; why not run them up to the pro ranks the same way the pro players get there.

Yes, a supervisor is there WITHOUT GAME AUTHORITY. Put the second game referee in the press box; connect him/her wirelessly to the on-ice guy so either can call penalties. Why? I've been told Mike Schmidt was in the press box for the DU game in question and he was baffled by what was and wasn't being called on the ice. In this system instead of a guy with 20+ years of experience just polishing a chair and giving feedback he'd be calling the game (even though he can no longer skate at the pace of it). You could train new officials with this press box guy before they ever step on the ice too: start upstairs, move to the ice, retire back upstairs.

I'd like to beat NDSU ... in January 2016.

Why not throw an O'D goal in there while you two are at it.

Pitchers' duel.

So when does the NCAA"s five-year clock start? Is the clock running for that "ineligible freshman" so effectively everyone redshirts? Better yet, if this is such a wonderful idea, why just football and mens basketball? Why not all sports? Is there something different about the "student-athlete" being recruited in those sports that potentially makes them need to "get more academic advising" than other recruits? <-- That is rhetorical, meaning it does not expect or want anyone to directly answer it, because it is a grenade without a pin. But it would be interesting to hear the B1G explain their singling out those two sports. If the schools are worried about how their freshman recruits are doing academically, why aren't they recruiting better students who are athletes (instead of athletes who might be students)?

Good question. I'm hoping it appears as an option now that the womens game is done. EDIT: And with that, it appears.
