The Sicatoka

This would save UMKC travel costs versus the WAC.

Let's just make sure our committee doesn't copy that committee's homework.

Between the Minnesota (Timber) Wolves and the SD Coyotes I think Wolves (though not a bad idea) is not workable.

For statistics to be meaningful they must be meaningful statistics. That's a fancy way of saying, "Are the stats really useful at this point?" If one team played four games against the eventual four bottom teams and the other played four games against the eventual four best teams, the comparison of stats between the two teams will probably not tell the whole story. What I know is Montana has played pretty tough on the road twice, against two pretty good teams, already this year and they'll be hungry for a road win.

Mr. Bearson pled guilty to minor in possession, minor consuming alcohol, minor under the influence, minor purchasing alcohol, actual physical control of a motor vehicle while under the influence, and driving under the influence in East Central District Court (Cass County) on September 12, 2014. That's pretty rugged for Fargo PD and City of Fargo to throw all that at him. Seems like piling on, throwing the whole house at him. Why would they do that? I'm surprised he didn't try to make the MIP charges go away in exchange for the guilty plea on the DUI. Instead he took all of it; I wonder if he had representation. Unfortunately, all of that is academic at this point. There's a more serious offender to uncover and adjudicate now.

The media is running with some of the rumor / speculation: http://www.wdaz.com/content/several-theories-rumors-surrounding-bearsons-death-few-answers-0 The gang or drug angle appears and WDAY (original story source) is willing to repeat it.

Another prime time game; another unwatchable mess: Welcome to NFL 2014.

Easy. Pick one from each of the CCHA, AHA, and ECAC. (Reasonable.) Pick three from HEA. (Maybe.) Pick four (of six) from the %BigCantCount and blow off the NCHC completely. (Dear USCHO: You can't be serious.) That's how. Pay closer attention next time, will ya?

Sun rose in the east.

As much as I'd love to see a giant bubble machine in REA ... no.

We'll be able to notice how exactly?

... or are too superstitious.

Those suspects are in the hands of law enforcement. Three days and both suspects in custody; bravo to GFPD on that one.

There's yet to be justice for Sadek (the NDSCS student) and too many others. Maybe by keeping them "front of mind" we can change that.

Cratter's link / source: http://www.inforum.com/content/caution-advised-one-week-after-discovery-slain-ndsu-students-body-police-still-have-no Volochenko, the older fellow, died from "assault-related injuries". (I believe past stories said he was beat to death with his own walking cane.) Bearson died from "homicidal violence". Can someone translate either of those (or are those intentionally obtuse statements by cops)?

Even after some of the additional and enlightening facts in the NDSCS case came out (the felony drug warrant for the missing person / murder victim) I don't recall NDSCS issuing a similar statement.

It's public record that the FBI is involved in the Bearson investigation. I believe it's because a state line was crossed.

Let's see ... a Vegas line of a 17 point spread and a 44.5 over/under ... well done.

If a state nickname related moniker is a must ... Peace Gardeners!

I guess I don't see a "must" as much as a "why some do" in this:

I haven't seen many Minutemen in Massachusetts lately either. Shall I tell UMass (Amherst)?

Hence the UC Berkeley ("Cal") Golden Bears and the UC Los Angeles Bruins.

No, not at all. Hence my statement ... To me the Lovelien situation is the most disappointing as that one happened in a public place and still isn't solved. The two college guys (NDSCS, NDSU) are just eerie: murdered and dumped. And anyone who kills an 87 year old man (Volochenko) deserves a heated seat in Hell.
