The Sicatoka

That spot rotates among the colleges of the NDUS. It's NDSU's spot in the rotation. And I do believe the student member is a non-voting member of the board.

Bold portion added for clarity (and jab factor, ... sorry CAS old chum).

I'd say you have a shot at left out.

Oh. That thing ...

Let me translate what Scott just said for the rest of you: "I'd love to retire on my own private island, with Bill Gates as my cabana boy and Warren Buffet as my bartender, on my portion of the settlement of that one."

Not moving the goalposts, giving context to the information presented. I never denied NDSU's ranking; I pointed out what it means. NDSU is applying for research funds from a larger pool than UND can. That NDSU would spend more on research, as it can draw from a larger funds pool, would seem a reasonably logical outcome.

Can we go back to the fundamentals of this: Taylor proposed a home and home. Faison agreed to Taylor's terms. Taylor bailed on his own proposal. Poor form.

... when measured by spending. What you're neglecting to mention is that NDSU, as a Merrill land grant university, can apply for many research grants that UND, not a land grant, can not apply for. So NDSU has access to more research dollars to spend to achieve the ranking you point out. Drop out the land grant research dollars and do the comparison and it gets a little more interesting.

I'm gettin' dizzy from the new spin ...

So now the Habs top goalie is Peter Budaj? It was good while it lasted Habs fans. What are the rules this time of year regarding roster moves?

Mr. Snyder would be wise to observe the techniques being applied to Mr. Sterling of the Clippers.

Do those additional INMED spots have to meet the same admittance criteria as the 75 most qualified? If so, no issue.

The value of a diploma is not determined by the number of wins by a football or hockey team.

C'mon Sioux-cia, hard work is hard. Dangerous work is dangerous. And action involves doing something of substance, and that's like hard work and real action, doncha know? It's so much easier to hashtag, and blog, and stage walks* and then feel** like they've done something. *Heck they can't even "march", they "walk"; George Carlin, RIP, would have a field day with that. I can almost hear him: "They're not really upset enough to march and scream in protest, so they go on a spring stroll to voice displeasure." **It's about how they feel that they've done something; not that they've actually accomplished a meaningful action, task, or activity. But they've emoted and they'll blog about how much better they feel about themselves for having done it. But the hard work still is there for someone to do; someone, but not them. But they'll blog and hashtag that something should be done; heaven forbid they actually do it. My new motto? #_is_worthless #_is_a_do_nothings_nothing

Uh ... substantiation, please.

My apologies then: Charge $100 for the UND game.

A simple home and home; the one Faison agreed to when Taylor proposed it. NDSU would make bank on that. How? $50 per seat for just that game, plus no payout to the visitor. Like someone said: business climate. Fans, NDSU fans, would pay it, ... wouldn't they?

Why is it that the folks that preach "diversity" and "inclusion" come from organizations that have segregating and isolating names? For example: American Indian Student Services. Student services just for American Indians? That doesn't seem very diverse or inclusive.

Bologna. More potential buyers in the market means more demand. Construction seldom keeps up with demand; and you said it yourself: apartments are going in, not houses.

Yeah, what happened there? I saw Bourque make it 2-1, got attacked by the nap-monster, and it was 7-1 when I woke up.

Do *not* bring up German Shepherds. I may not be able to take the emotional pain. PS -- "Shepherds" ... with a German Shepherd logo ... hmmm ... <thinking> ... <smirking> ... No, wait, we'd offend a whole family of hockey officials.

Choose (b).

Well, heck if we're all puttin' out our dee-mands, here's mind: Every educational institution receiving Federal funds must abide by the First Amendment of the United States Constitution. No campus speech codes.

And "sexual harassment" training. <-- I so enjoy referring to those as "How To" sessions.
