The Sicatoka

The "pissed off citizenry" I see voted by a significant margin to end this gong show (and to quit bleeding money into it) by voting to allow UND to remove the name. What I see now are more and more people asking, "Why isn't this done yet?" Purely anecdotal, but I see the younger folks saying, "Just pick something and move on" and the ... ahem ... "more mature" crowd wallowing in history. Disclaimer: My ID puts me on the line between younger and "more mature". Heck, I've never been accused of being too mature.

Like I said ... I'm thinking which ever happens first, the other won't. And I think Dan Snyder is next to lose to Suzan Harjo, her media lackeys, et al.

It's only the NCAA that has this obsession of this concept of what an "amateur" is. And they make up their own rules for it as they go along.

FYP, because if he goes he won't be on the sideline.

The plot thickens ... http://www.goeags.com/sports/m-footbl/2014-15/releases/15atTransferStatement

Which happens first : UND restores the old name - or - the Washington NFL franchise changes its name I know which one I'd bet on.

Never have wiser words been posted.

... North Star Challenge Cup wins ...

Yup. This group started small (some HSs, then "easy mark" colleges*) and is working up to the crown jewel they seek: the Washington NFL franchise. They may get Washington (NFL) and then come back for Florida State. Why? Media in DC has a similar political viewpoint as this group. *By "easy mark" I mean the schools without monstrously deep pockets and without big political influence.

Back to this Alm fellow from Hawley: Is this the DL that folks were looking for to help round out this class? He seems to be more of a "future" guy in that he seems to have the NG body-type but needs to develop into it. Wasn't there a guy from GF about a decade ago that was similar who worked out pretty well?

Precisely. And last I heard UNM and NMSU still have programs also ... and UTEP.

You realize you just torpedoed your credibility somewhat. It's the equivalent of saying you haven't heard of Thompson or Oslo.

Honestly, he seems like the right fit out there if they need a one year guy until the next guy is ready.

I guess I'm last man standing of the old guard ... but ... I'm not old, I'm experienced, have no peers in this, make you delirious, and yes I'm serious I take no cheer in this makes me furious to see this curious lack of long-term ridership on this bus we call UND fan-dom, my bros ... Peace out. Wurd to yo mamas. < raises arms to crowd > < drops microphone>

We can cry over spilled milk. We can find something else to drink. Your call.

FERPA ... that's what HIPPAs eat, right?

Anyone who saw Davies on the field saw who wasn't out there during a certain stretch so 'suspension' is easy math. But no need to rumor/speculate/guess/break FERPA/besmirch here. Let's just leave it at "were suspended". PS - Not "my world"; I'm just management, not ownership.

Some of you missed this, so I edited your posts.

That needs repeating.

Let's leave stuff like that off of here. Thank you. The Management

Let's hope West Fargo stays on track so I can remix my old attack, Jack. (Be sure to scroll for the full, painful, effect of my flow. )

A committee to review a committee's output can't, so they form a committee ... before forming a committee. http://www.inforum.com/news/education/3663813-ndsu-foundation-plans-public-search-what-went-wrong-seeking-new-presidentceo Karma's a bitch.

Folks, there is no "gentleman's agreement" in football. Heck, the agreement is gone in DI hockey now. Until someone signs an NLI, a verbal isn't worth the paper it's written on*. No gentleman's agreement and no NLI == fair game ... in every direction. *See what I did there ... a verbal isn't on paper <-- that's supposed to be humorous. OK ... I'll quit now.

So Hedberg was there ... Spin? No, no. In the spirit of visiting a defensive back ... that was some good ... backpedaling. You know it had to be said.

Six weeks ago I heard the "short" number was way worse than that.
