The Sicatoka

And now the rumor is he's offered five of his assistants to come with him? Distraction. D-I-S, T-R-A, C-T, I-O-N. Distraction.

Has there been an attributed, on the record source for this story anywhere? It's all anonymous sources. Until I see a real name or see Bohl in front of a Cowboys banner in Laramie I'm not believing all of it.

Smilin' Tim Miles left one great class for his successor. Will Bohl have done the same for his? And will Miles and Bohl ever work for the same AD again? </soap opera music>

DCs have come and gone under Bohl, but the OC remains. To me that is very telling. I've always assumed Vigen was the heir apparent.

I have said what I have said. In all seriousness, this may *give* time to Faison as this Bohl turmoil may give pause to some local recruits.

Clean up the penalties. Play 60:00, not 59:40 and hope Zane bails you out. And c'mon Rocco ... bury those breakaways!* *Rocco: They have you figured. You try to get in tight. There's a ton of film. They don't even look for a shot until you're within five feet. You need to snap one from the dots on a breakaway to get them honest again.

As I've said, when things don't make sense, when up seems down and down seems up, stop, breathe, rise above, look objectively, and ... ... follow the Benjamins. All will be clear.

Where is WYOBISONMAN? I want to make sure he doesn't implode or explode or both.

Fargo was a good fit for Bohl. The city embraced him and stroked his ego. His was THEE game in town. If not for that University up north with a hockey program the entirety of ND would have been his. Now he'll get that same Fargo treatment but in Cheyenne, Laramie, Casper, Cody, et al. Wyoming will be his, and his alone. Wonder how Ryan feels about this ... and her son ... and her son's father ... then again, $1M sugar-daddy ain't bad, assuming ...

We accept and appreciate outside views and opinions, even ones we may vehemently disagree with. That other crew you hang with ... eh, not so much. Jussayin'.

That plane is a single-turbo prop. That could land in my back yard. Why not Laramie? I'm going to be skeptical until it's real. (But, I'm leaning that it will turn out that way.)

That flight is to Cheyenne, not Laramie. What am I missing?

Rule? Don't know. Gentlemen's agreement amongst ADs? Again, don't know. Now if Bohl approached them ... there's nothing to stop that I guess. I don't know. But this is some theatre. Too bad. People should be talking about the amazing halftime adjustments by NDSU today ... ... and who's next to coach UND.

The guy I feel worst for in this? WYOBISONMAN. He probably doesn't know if he should laugh or cry.

CAS: Please watch the language. That's acceptable in Bisonville, but not here. Others: Do not quote such posts as they will be deleted. Thank you.

Quite the string of assumptions there. Impressive. How about: on a last chance, moving violation, gone.

Appeared intoxicated? C'mon CAS, you know that's worthless in the criminal world. All that counts is BAL or breathalyzer. Now in the employment world on a "last chance" in a right to work state any screw up (moving violation) is enough.

Do many more care about the FCS championship? I'm not disrespecting FCS; I'm merely observing its relative importance in the sports spectrum.

Niche sport with its own television network.

I know your resume is on the fax machine and ready to go on the 10th. Whatcha asking for?

Weren't you the guy saying Faison, as part of the national search, should be having hypothetical conversations with hypothetical candidates? That could hypothetically add velocity to the hypothetical contract closing process. Hypothetically. PS - If UND were to need an AD in the future, I'm available.

I'll one-up you and say the 12th at a 2 pm press conference. That way the person can attend the Friday boosters luncheon on the 13th before the NMU/UND series.

1. Faison handled the first Hardee problem internally which was appropriate at the time (if documented internally). 1a. GF media (as someone said) dropped the ball regarding whatever parts of that were public record. 2. Hardee had to go as of 0506 PST Sunday morning. 3. Where is UND's procedure for annual license checks for people who operate their vehicles or vehicles the University rents? Shouldn't that be a University process (not just athletics)? 4. CAS: take some of the advice you've given to me at times. Jussayin' ...

I'd say they should be patient enough to allow for a new coach to be named. That's going to be before the end of the semester is my assumption.
