The Sicatoka

Moorhead is Minnesota State University - Moorhead ==> MnSCU. MnSCU stands for Minnesota State College and University System.

The U of Minnesota system is the campuses in the Twin Cities, Duluth, Morris, and Crookston. The MnSCU system is Mankato, St. Cloud, Bemidji, and probably a few others I'm forgetting. I don't know the MnSCU policy, but with SCSU in that group I can guess what they'll push for.

From the Twitter feed of the UND SID:

I'm guessing he has some of those numbers in his phone already. (Remember where Faison came from.)

Here's the category of folks many are forgetting: "Do you want to end this?" "Yes. I'm tired of it. It's gone on too long." "So vote yes on Measure 4."

The first stop on the statewide tour is complete: http://www.inforum.com/event/article/id/359369/ "It's not about preference anymore," O'Keefe said. "It's about the price (UND) will pay if we are forced to keep the nickname." O'Keefe said he had "the unanimous support" of the association's board: http://www.undfoundation.org/Page.aspx?pid=1384 By O'Keefe's statement there's two more letterwinners: Steve Burian and Marc Chorney

You just found out about gambling in Rick's Cafe too, right?

Going on around the state today ... http://www.grandfork...icle/id/235529/ Tim O'Keefe, executive vice-president of UND Alumni Association and Foundation, former UND mens hockey letterwinner Rick Bergum, president, UND Foundation Al Olson, former Governor of North Dakota and UND alumnus Jim Kleinsasser, UND football letterwinner Sheri Kleinsasser Stockmoe, UND WBB letterwinner Dave Hakstol, UND mens hockey letterwinner and current mens hockey coach Kylie Oversen, current student body president at UND Dale Lennon, UND letterwinner and former head football coach The list grows, and it's people that have unquestionable ties to the University of North Dakota, people that can't be "bought" (as some claim Hakstol was) or manipulated (as some claim Dr. Kelley and the ND SBoHE is doing). It's people who are connected. It's people who know how to make things happen in the world, but who also see that the NCAA won't budge and know when it's time to cut the losses. So, whom to believe: fans with nothing more than a love of a logo, who'd be willing to burn down UND for two words, like Fetch and DaveK, or UND lettermen, graduates, and donors, like Tim O'Keefe and Jim Kleinsasser.

Now that there is funny given that Ovie was sixth in TOI for the Caps forwards last night. (Former Seawolf Jay Beagle was first with 2.5 times the minutes of Ovie.) Guaranteed ice time indeed. (Insert Dale Hunter's laughing here.)

Again with the "how it was when I first saw it is how it should always be" stuff? At least you're consistent. PS - Get rid of your computer and go back to your typewriter from "... the '70s and '80s, they had it figured out back then."

There are a lot of things in this world I don't like, that I disagree with fundamentally, but that I have to accept because the alternative would be more devastating to me than acceptance.

Can I loan you a pair of pliers to get that hook out of your mouth? Was the minnow on it tasty?

How much would a left-handed QB affect the running game? I know it'll affect the pass protection packages.

Did someone say Idaho? http://idaho.scout.com/2/1182373.html

Fetch, go back and read some of Chewey's more recent (since SL's day in court about 10 days ago) responses. He seems far more measured, far less bombastic (not saying he was all that bombastic before), since the hearing before Judge Erickson. You have to ask yourself ... "Why?"

Hanson graduated from North Carolina with a year of FB eligibility left. Because he had his degree he doesn't have to sit out a year after transferring. He's enrolled in a Masters program in the School of Business.

I see you and ScottM agree on at least this much.

Random? I sat next to a Devils scout for a couple games at the same tournament. Heck of nice Stanley Cup Champions ring he had. Interesting to see and hear what those guys look for.

The flip side here is St. Clair. He committed very young, and even had to sit a year at UND, but is still there.

Fowler was a standout at the U-18s in Fargo back in 2009. Whatever "it" is you could see he had "it".

Koules not making the U-18 team that just recently won gold was foreshadowing of some sort.

Never believe who is leaving, or coming in, until you see them on the ice. And for the record, you normally have six guys in the stands (a "fifth" line, a "fourth" pair of D, and the third goalie).

Any truth to the rumor that the writers of that film are running for the Minnesota legislature?

I'm sure they talked. And Frattin probably said he stayed for a senior year and is still up and down.

Once upon a time there was no need for a distinction (because all sports fans realized it's a game and not worth rioting or showing what sort of baffoon you are inside).
