The Sicatoka

James Bond's nemesis organization.

Let's see, what's new in the last few days: EWU announces home and home with NDSU. (2015/2017) Cal Poly announces home and home with Northern Iowa. (2015/2017) [*]Cal Poly announces five players suspended including Ivory and Akins (oooops!). http://calcoastnews....rob-frat-house/

I've wondered if the "Lennon approach" (balanced, conservative offense; pressure, aggressive defense) works in the SIU recruiting areas. It seems the recruit base in the upper Midwest is better suited to it.

I'd truncate it to just Alias. (But you know opponents would only use the last syllable.) I threw "Specter" out there because we'll always be living under the specter of the old logo.

FIFY.

Moniker: noun Slang. a person's name, especially a nickname or alias. A person wearing a monocle wouldn't use slang.

Chewey: Only problem with your notion? Minnesota NHL franchise moniker is _______.

SDSU would never do that to their "rival".

I'm wondering if that came from Taylor or from his boss. I guess we'd know if Faison asked Acting AD Prakesh Mathew to go back the the home-and-home that nearly happened in April of 2011 (adjusting the date as 2017 has since been filled by a far away, out of footprint, Big Sky school).

I've given numerous other reasons why UND needs to select and begin to market a new moniker and logo. Another reason is at the 1:50 mark of this: Not exactly awe inspiring, and it doesn't roll off the tongue. Just add it to the list of reasons why this must be finalized.

Bisonville is great. It gives me wonderful insights to how "Cpl. Joe Bauers" must've felt when he awoke. (Some of you will get the reference. )

I've been told by more than one developer and more than one contractor that in Fargo-Moorhead you'll keep seeing apartment buildings go up until they hit a consistent ten (yes, 10) percent vacancy rate. At the the current construction costs and interest rates that's the economic viability point. The large complex going in at Demers and I-29 in Grand Forks, no company is going to undertake that level of investment unless they know they're going to make it. If Grand Forks is really at two percent vacancy, that company, they're laughing all the way to the bank.

The series wasn't always a pure "toggle" back-and-forth city-to-city. Let them have the next two for their egos; however, after those two the next game will be at UND (or determined by the NCAA playoff committee). If NDSU needs the extra advantage of playing at home to feel comfortable returning to play UND, so be it. It'll make a loss sting all the more. UND's all-time record in FargoDome is: ______

Dan: RT hasn't been at UND for what now, a decade? Time to move on. Zero and six last season against UND because they are playing again in other sports. Why not schedule FB and try to save some face?

John: Watching a television show does not make you an expert in a subject. If it did, we'd have a plethora of female brain surgeons because they ogled "McDreamy" on "Grey's Anatomy". (Great thanks to a lovely lady who also reads here for that one.)

Do you hear laughing? You're well within control; it's just a matter of when to execute it. Signed, The Management

You might as well be asking a tiger to change its stripes.

John, you're trolling for the sake of trolling. I advise you to take BadlandsBison's advice on your home board and start to use your head.

Wow ... just, ... wow. < shaking head in disbelief >

You feel free to be whatever you choose, but me, ... Nope. I can't be a Nazi. I won't deny my faith as many others did to get on the Nazi's "good" side. The Nazi "we hate them list": 1. Jews. 2. Communists (competition for power) 3. Catholics (again, competition for power) http://catholiceducation.org/articles/history/world/wh0033.html

O'Bannon et al 1 NCAA 0 http://www.marketwatch.com/story/judge-rules-against-ncaa-in-ed-obannon-lawsuit-2014-08-08?link=MW_latest_news

I think no one has any clear vision of where this is going or could end up. Now toss in the NCAA's loss in the O'Bannon lawsuit and things are really getting interesting for the future of "amateur" college sports. http://www.marketwatch.com/story/judge-rules-against-ncaa-in-ed-obannon-lawsuit-2014-08-08?link=MW_latest_news

I always wondered how a guy born in 1930 could "be a Nazi". Did the Third Reich have middle-school youth branch in Thief River Falls for Scandinavian ancestry kids living in homes with dirt floors during WWII (1939-1945)?

I'm surprised there's such concern over there about a sport, by their own statements, that "nobody cares about". And about a team that they claim is no longer a rival no less. Peculiar. Most peculiar. You'd think the discussion would center more around being in the Summit, where it's fairly safe to say that most Summit schools won't vote for "full cost scholarships" in basketball when that day comes (and it will come, trust me, the P5 will go there next to keep widening the gap) because they can't afford it.

You mean we have to put up with another decade of this while you finish your BS in shoveling ... well, ... BS?
