We are on the cusp of Movember, and men's health awareness is so important.

Daydreams Specialties does tackle twill numbers on jerseys.

I don't see where it says it's written. What's your point?

That's not AD material. More like a couple of Ds material.

Smart money is on the current REA leadership being the successful bidder to run/manage the arena even after ownership reverts to UND. UND is not going to go it alone.

If you have a Wii, you can download the original NES version for a couple bucks and re-live a cherished part of your youth. For a few minutes anyway, after which you wonder what in the world you were thinking enjoying those crappy games back in the day. And your kids will mock you.

One thing that won't get much older is the Herald. Have you picked up a copy of that thing lately? Paper carriers need to weigh it down with rocks so it doesn't blow off the porch.

Women's hockey fans should look away, because the best part of the whole thing is that the buyout - whatever it ends up being - is probably coming right out of the money saved by trimming the athletic department. Probably couldn't afford two AD salaries any other way. And I suspect the next guy gets a bump.

Litigation is an expensive distraction and a very public pain in the butt that could drag on for years. And some lawyers work on contingency, so it's not necessarily true that it's costing both sides the same. Buyouts are money well spent; how much depends on how much there is to fear - even if the employer thinks they did everything right. When the employee is older, age discrimination creeps in and that's no picnic for employers to defend either. Cash for silence. Couldn't be any simpler than that.

Who needs a golden parachute when a kelly green one will do just fine.

First sighting over on the ticket thread of UMN tix UNDER face value.

underground.und.edu It's an online sell and swap site...kind of like a micro-Craigslist for the UND community.

Keeping sales tax < 7% is a good start. Impose/increase $3/night lodging and $3/day rental car taxes to minimize impact on locals. Establish a new $50 fine for driving under the speed limit in the left lane on Columbia.

Cities that already tax their citizens into oblivion and realize you can only raise the sales tax so far.

So do what everybody else does and tax hotel rooms and rental cars.

Lack of faith in local government. Don't share their vision about needed infrastructure improvements.

Au contraire. I can confirm that Sonic tastes much better than both tires AND hot tubs.

Chick-fil-a pro tip: Breakfast. Biscuits (chicken as well as sausage) are excellent. * Bonus tip: Sweet Tea.

Free ear plugs to first 100 fans...to muffle the sounds of old bones and creaky joints. Seriously, though, hat's off to one heck of a piece of UND history.

Amen - the ticket thread was going crazy. Buyer's market, for sure. I'm guessing the opponent had a lot to do with it. Calm before the storm, perhaps?

Sure, he's talented, but I say mix in the band, a few pretty coeds, and unique instrumentals now and again. Same guy every night gets old. What is this, Chicago? Next thing you know, the goal song will be Chels....

Six players making their debut last week scored points. I think this is a young team; if not by years, then in offensive production by age.

Young team, first road trip, and a long one at that. Smells like a trap kind of weekend (hope I'm wrong).
