    Not entirely sure where this belongs, but here you go...

    Imagine the possibilities for crowd engagement via in-game video on the Jumbotron, especially with small, mammalian opponents.

    Players will go from either not having to file or getting full refunds (assuming they had any income from which to withhold), to having to pay big, fat quarterlies the following year. A crash course in personal finance, for sure. I look forward to the Real Sports episodes in a few years when the bubble bursts for some of these kids. "Before NIL, the schools were taking advantage of us and wouldn't let us monetize, and we just wanted to be left alone to do our thing. Now they aren't doing nearly enough to protect us."

    Stop pucks, move trucks. Saves get made, sell Escalade. Cover the net, push the Vette. Allow less than two, peddle that Rendezvous. (you get the idea)

    NIL stands for name, image, and likeness. What you’re talking about is pay for performance, which is not permitted until the NIPL rule comes out, at which time it will probably suck, and donors will be milked dry.

    Colleges closing be all like:

    Wish the poll had a third option...should but probably won't. Unpopular take, but (1) only two teams end the year happy; (2) why not get the extra practices and games; (3) if it's a money maker, then the revenue can only help the program and department. Let the pro-bound bail, but clear the benches and get some ice time for those guys further down the trough. Also, even if you end up on the road, a chance for UND fans (and prospects) in unusual parts of the country a chance to see the team and its legendary traveling fan base. Win the darn thing, and feel good about the next season. Banners optional.

    Ugly start. Some dynasties end with a whimper. Others, with a bang. How will history remember the Bison?

    Are we on the cusp of video review in HS sports? Scary thought.

    Depending on how things shake out during the second half this year, we may be better off scheduling Philip Morris.

    Watched another idiot cross Columbia between Aldi and Wal-Mart today. The city has done just about everything short of a moat with alligators to keep drivers from cutting the median there...I have never wanted to see someone get T-boned so badly. Imagine yourself willing to risk your life - and a traffic citation - to get to W-M a few seconds earlier.

    Amenities vary, of course, but it’s not quite apples to apples, especially depending on your venue. The REA would benefit from connected, covered parking, on-ice projection equipment, and a bustling neighborhood for pre- and post-game entertainment. Structurally, the upper concourse at REA is a bit narrow, but that ship sailed when the plans were drawn. It does rival big-time facilities, even if on a smaller scale.

    Wind of what? It seems the only money involved would have been the money paid by the university for the jerseys worn by the team (unless those were provided for free as part of a bigger equipment deal), and the licensing money collected by the university for merchandise sold at retail. Are you thinking the daughter got herself involved in a complex license revenue stream, and somehow figured out how to divert royalties? How many legit clothing vendors with official licenses to produce UND stuff are going to just fork over a second royalty without complaining? And if they did, how would UND even know? Licensing is not exactly child's play. From the collegiate licensing company website:

    Anhorn? Finkel? Anhorn is Finkel. Finkel is Anhorn. Skate laces out, Dan.

    Very true. Access to in-house lawyers addresses cost, but not necessarily risk. Doesn't matter if your company's R&D/marketing budget is $10k or $10M, there are always business decisions that need to be made, and I think that respectfully if someone has never had to make a go/no-go decision about how to spend their own hard-earned dollars on their own company, they may not have much credibility on such things. (Now we'll find the small business owners here. )

    But if the jersey bombed, and didn't sell for $hit, the same ne'er-do-wells would be on here complaining that UND wasted taxpayer money on a useless trademark. Crystal balls, 20/20 hindsight, and all that. Very few businesses can afford to trademark or patent every single thing that might come along. Or would even want to. I do believe, however, that "Legal Zoom" will gladly take money from anyone with "an idea" and a credit card.

    Rebuilding dams. Childbirth. (In case you need more evidence that Beavers can snap back after being stretched.)

    It was the "live stats" site linked at fightinghawks.com. They had it wrong for the entire 4th quarter, at least.
  19. NoiseInsideMyHead
    If you clicked on the live stats link at fightinghawks.com, that site showed 44-31 as the final score. Even AFTER the game finished. Weird. It was UND's own link, so I'll give Midco a pass.
  20. NoiseInsideMyHead
    Ummm, I have always been told there would not be any Beaver action whatsoever on the Flo. Now I have questions...
  21. NoiseInsideMyHead
    I'd settle for a close shave, as long as we come out on top.
  22. NoiseInsideMyHead
    '92 here. Opened for U2 on the stadium tour. Guess I'm a touch older. Still hard to get over the fact that they canceled that Fargo show a few years back, but then I remember that the drummer had just had a heart attack so, yeah...

    Idiot incompetent slow-as-f*** crew reconstructing the southbound lanes of I-29 between GF and Fargo dilly-dallied the entire season and BARELY squeaked in right before the heavy snow (and that was fortunate to have been as late as it was) and NOW there is an unrelated, extended lane closure for no apparent reason (I see no equipment and no signs of activity) on the northbound side. I thought we all had a gentleman's agreement around here that winter driving conditions are far too f'ed up for frivolous projects to be commenced this late in the year. Stupendously ridiculous.

    If I didn't mind being moderated into oblivion, I would start the annual offseason thread right now. #pessimism

    If only every current NHL player had their sins laid bare... The hypocrisy on this stinks to high heaven. How many of you think that everyone affiliated with the League would consent to have their juvenile records published?
