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.

Some of the biggest bigots I've met are the anti-bigot bigots.

She is a harsh mistress.

Uh, lemme guess ... you threw a rod ...

Doesn't Toronto already have two AHL teams.

<dry heaves>

At risk of repeating myself ... a-a-a-again.

This post set off a crap-storm at USCHO back in June of 2010. Add another Olympic Gold and Stanley Cup to the resume since then.

<facepalm>

PS - I still say "The Mafia" would be a great new moniker. <shamelessly trying to get back in Mafia's good graces>

Mafia told me those tats were slightly higher up the backs of your legs. <cold shudder down spine> <vomit>

You have to be careful with that. Do it wrong and you start your NCAA eligibility clock. Recent article on Wilkie: http://www.theushlhockeyleague.com/news.php?news_id=2359

You can't fill a void with a nothing. We had a Ferrari. It was declared illegal for the road. Worse? We're stuck with no car until 1/1/15. But, please, when we can have one, no Yugo or Ford Fiesta.

Silly me. I forgot that when UND dropped "that" moniker it was given power to solve everything from world hunger to simple, chronic halitosis. Clearly, UND should've foreseen non-UND students creating t-shirts with a non-UND logo attending a non-UND event at a non-UND facility and headed it off.
