The Sicatoka

I explained the situation to someone this way once: We had a Lamborghini. It was awesome. There were a couple Ferrari around, but we had the only Lamborghini. Then the DOT said, "No more Lamborghini on the streets." The Ferrari were allowed to stay, along with all the Fords and Chevys. Worse? We had nothing to drive for quite a while ... and the Lamborghini was still in the garage, but we can't drive it. And I'm worried that even if we get a Jaguar F-Type V8 S it will still feel like a Yugo because the Lamborghini will always be in the garage.

I'm running against Taz. I'm an expert witness, because I say I am.

FYP.

Oh come on ... they'll use the same process used in selecting a FB coach. < running for cover >

Buccaneers? Like Bucs for short? Would we need approval from Brandon Bochenski?

Masterfully played.

HEY! I think we found the GOBC's "plant" on the committee: Sandra Mitchell

I really need a warm-fuzzy-kitties, cute little puppies, duckies and fluffy-bunnies, rainbows and unicorns job title like this: Where's the VP for "You Gotta Know Your <bleep> From A Hole In The Ground To Graduate From My University".

At least I see "The Real KG" on the list, and a Kleinsasser.

Don't forget the Knights Templar and the Rosicrutians.

When it's the only trick the pony knows ...

A leader would wait to leave until after the Legislature meets; thus ... Under.

Nothing less.

I love all of the sportscasters who described the Debacle at the GeorgiaDome last night as "put a whipping" on Tampa. (Think: AP situation)

I sure hope you're kidding. If not, so much for an open and inclusive process.

Age or IQ?

So you saw what I did there.

There are no "good ol boys" in Grand Forks, just the mindset.

From another thread: The UND Flying Pigs! "Soo-ee! Woo Pigs!" Logo? Easy, just change the sunglasses to green*: *The hog is pink already, pink is the other official academic color of UND.

The UND Flying Hogs! "Soo-ee! Woo Pigs!"

When will Jamestown College host Bismarck Shiloh, Fargo Oak Grove, ...

Shoulda known! Too bad Sacred Heart is in EAST Grand Forks.

Yup. Grand Forks needs to get out its own way and show off what it can do.

Thank you, Eeyore. Fargo has walls (think: western diversion). Business and innovation creates jobs and malls and such. Those weren't given to Fargo when the Earth was formed. Your best point is "media", ... but don't we constantly hear about "new media"? Fargo has terrestrial radio and television, but the internet makes those less consequential every day is what I'm constantly told. Grand Forks can easily embrace what it is: the north Red River Valley hub. Doing that will require a long hard look in the mirror and the soul searching you reference. What won't work is "quick fixes" like "art corridors". The world is changing. Don't become the next "Duluth". What it takes is (stand by for Hakstol quote) "controlling what's yours to control", and the first thing on that list is attitude. After that is a willingness to work toward a vision of what you want to be.
