The Sicatoka

Always the shyster you are.

You really think "Oilers" would pass muster with the same political mindset that had problems with the previous moniker? Oil is e-e-e-evil doncha know.

When I heard Parise's fiancee was in MSP Zach flying back to MSP made perfect sense. You're about to get married. You're about to make the second biggest decision of your life so far. Wouldn't you want to talk it through with the biggest decision in your life in person?

I keep looking for "tells" from teams to understand what their mindsets are. Pittsburgh gave the biggest tell so far when they moved Stahl.

NJD just pushed in another pile of chips: They re-signed the goaltending tandem of Brodeur and Hedberg.

That's easy: Cup. If NJD had won the Cup I'd say it'd be better than 50-50 of him in Minnesota. Now, with LAK with the Cup he's going to a contender is my guess.

As a bonus question: Will the team that hits the Zachpot hit the Suter-fecta?

That's the best link I've seen in quite a while. Seeing that on the BSC's website feels good in some ways, is terrifying in other ways, and is relaxing in some ways.

So fewer scholarship (less money) hurt NDSU? I thought money wasn't the solution. Then again, everyone was playing under the same scholarship cap. Would that mean NDSU wasn't using them as wisely as others at the time?

What does that mean? Does that mean that we'll see games on the live stream at http://www.midcosportsnet.com/schedule/watchonline/

" ... I'd like to find your inner child and ... "

Yeah, he drives a little Fiat around on the field during halftime.

Midfield is nice, but I'd rather see North Dakota players standing with the ball where it says "North Dakota".

Take Mr. Henley's advice ... please.

The question is: Realistic expectations for UND in the Big Sky. The answer from the fans to Coach Mussman is ...

I find petey23's signature offensive.

Because the board owner, Jim Dahl, as he's said, will change it when he sees fit.

Aleruses-es.

Maybe Alerus Financial should buy the naming rights to UND Athletics. Problem. Solved.

A little early to be tipping the MD 20/20, isn't it?

Because the Fargo Forum insisted on comparing football and hockey. My question for Bison FB fans: If your FB program is so great, why the need to compare it to a niche sport that nobody outside of Grand Forks cares about?

I can't claim definitive knowledge, but it would seem reasonable to assume. Create your own unique moniker, logo, image and your ownership rights would seem easier to establish and claim and own.

Maris, Saunders, Gothberg. I've only seen one on UND home ice to know that he won't vapor lock. That's the Tater.

Think about this: The University of North Dakota mens hockey team is being "busted on" for just accomplishing ... - a national championship game lost in OT - another national championship game appearance - four other Frozen Four appearances (national semi-finalist) - a Broadmoor Trophy three-in-a-row (never done before), plus another in 2006 - four MacNaughton Cups - a Hobey Baker winner ... in just the last 12 seasons. (Go back 13 and you have a National Championship and another Broadmoor.) That's fifty years for some college programs. Other college programs can't claim even parts of that. Yeah, UND Hockey: the bar is set pretty high.

It's simply phonetic love.
