The Sicatoka

Oh come on ... they'll use the same process used in selecting a FB coach. < running for cover >

Buccaneers? Like Bucs for short? Would we need approval from Brandon Bochenski?

Masterfully played.

HEY! I think we found the GOBC's "plant" on the committee: Sandra Mitchell

I really need a warm-fuzzy-kitties, cute little puppies, duckies and fluffy-bunnies, rainbows and unicorns job title like this: Where's the VP for "You Gotta Know Your <bleep> From A Hole In The Ground To Graduate From My University".

At least I see "The Real KG" on the list, and a Kleinsasser.

Don't forget the Knights Templar and the Rosicrutians.

When it's the only trick the pony knows ...

A leader would wait to leave until after the Legislature meets; thus ... Under.

Nothing less.

I love all of the sportscasters who described the Debacle at the GeorgiaDome last night as "put a whipping" on Tampa. (Think: AP situation)

I sure hope you're kidding. If not, so much for an open and inclusive process.

Age or IQ?

So you saw what I did there.

There are no "good ol boys" in Grand Forks, just the mindset.

From another thread: The UND Flying Pigs! "Soo-ee! Woo Pigs!" Logo? Easy, just change the sunglasses to green*: *The hog is pink already, pink is the other official academic color of UND.

The UND Flying Hogs! "Soo-ee! Woo Pigs!"

When will Jamestown College host Bismarck Shiloh, Fargo Oak Grove, ...

Shoulda known! Too bad Sacred Heart is in EAST Grand Forks.

Yup. Grand Forks needs to get out its own way and show off what it can do.

Thank you, Eeyore. Fargo has walls (think: western diversion). Business and innovation creates jobs and malls and such. Those weren't given to Fargo when the Earth was formed. Your best point is "media", ... but don't we constantly hear about "new media"? Fargo has terrestrial radio and television, but the internet makes those less consequential every day is what I'm constantly told. Grand Forks can easily embrace what it is: the north Red River Valley hub. Doing that will require a long hard look in the mirror and the soul searching you reference. What won't work is "quick fixes" like "art corridors". The world is changing. Don't become the next "Duluth". What it takes is (stand by for Hakstol quote) "controlling what's yours to control", and the first thing on that list is attitude. After that is a willingness to work toward a vision of what you want to be.

Now, since I'm on a roll, about UND: As an alumnus who has earmarked a sizable portion of his estate to UND upon his passing, I care. I believe it's time for me to take a more active role in making UND what I expect it to be. If you care, take an active role too. When you walk up to Dan Muus or Steve Brekke do they know who you are? (For that matter, do you know who they are and what they do?) Have you told them what's impressed you and what hasn't? Do you show you care? Posting here does not count. I've let Dan know some concerns about my college and program within the University within the last six weeks. Dan answered. (It's more than I've ever gotten from Kelley when contacting him.*) So, fellow UND friends, family, and alumni: Do you care? If so, get on it. *I miss Kupchella. He'd reply. For that matter, I miss Harmeson. He'd reply. You don't have to agree with someone 100% of the time; I just like to know people are engaged and can explain what they are doing and why.

I'm not a Kelley fan lately, but he has a point: On something like degree of autonomy/central control, that's something that can be difference of opinion (We have enough central control; No you don't) pretty fast. But yes, some things need to be looked at. Maybe it's the wake-up call they needed.
