Check or money order by US mail...and Paypal as long as its done the correct way and doesn't result in me being charged service fees.

OK, explained nicely. I agree with you on both counts - on AND off the ice.

Wait a second...just a while back, weren't you calling for Hakstol to change the 'business' approach to his coaching style and for him to lighten things up a bit? Now you want to know whether or not he has control over his players? Which one is it?

I'm hoping the hats arrive in time to be distributed in Grand Forks by YaneA this weekend...fingers crossed.

Blah blah blah...let it go already.

Just another reason why justice was dished out upon Ohio State and Urban Meyer by the Michigan State Spartans on Saturday night. Unbelievable to listen to the announcers and folks at ESPN after the game talking about how the Buckeyes were the superior team but just got outplayed by Michigan State. I didn't see it that way at all.

Thread-bomb: Also see: Shula, Don and everyone who has followed him at Miami since then. GRRR... Sorry, back to the discussion...

You never want to be the guy replacing a legend. It's much easier to replace the guy who replaces the guy who got canned for not adequately replacing the legend. See also: Bryant, Paul and Perkins, Ray as well as Hayes, Woody and Bruce, Earle.

The Vikings lost yesterday's game due to poor tackling. It could have been worse...did you see how the Steelers lost on the final play of the game? THE BAND IS ON THE FIELD! The Browns, however, lost thanks to some home-cooked officiating. What a terrible pass-interference call at the end of the game.

I'm not sure what's more stunning...finding out Bohl is leaving or you revealing yourself to be a 16 year old teenage girl!

Shouldn't you be over in NHL 2013 arguing with DaveK?

I last saw NMU vs UND in 1992 when they were both members of the WCHA. Holy buckets I'm an old geezer.

There are 31 pages on fleece hats over in the hockey thread LOL.

What other option did NDSU have? Let Bohl and his staff walk and have Wilbur, Oxbow6, and WYOBISONMAN take over the interim coaching reins on Monday?

Bohl can't win either way. He's a Bison-traitor if he leaves before the end of the season and he's a carpet-bagger if he stays and finishes out the year. My thought is that Bohl took the job insisting to Wyoming that if asked, he will stay at NDSU until their season is done. I give him credit for not running to Laramie and leaving his team in Fargo in the dust. And I hope the Bison win a third-straight title. Yea, a Sioux fan just said that.

With all due respect, you're going to rip on NDSU for BEATING those FBS schools? Any of those teams puts 100 up on UND this season. Wyoming has shown FCS how much more it takes to be FBS, regardless of the occasional NDSU over Kansas State, Appalachian State over Michigan, or Georgia Southern over Florida games happen. Take a good look at UMass and their transition from FCS to FBS and what a disaster it has been for them. They envisioned being a rival to Boston College - they're closer to dropping back down to FCS or dumping football altogether than they are to being even a mediocre FBS team.

If the team actually took a vote, I'm curious as to what the tally was. I'm sure they get it...if someone waved a million bucks in front of each and every one of them to do it, every single Bison player with eligibility remaining would transfer to UND tomorrow.

A Randy Moss reference? Huh?

And I recall Barry Alvarez going ballistic on Bret Bielema last season and not letting him coach the Rose Bowl.

Disagree. This isn't the Meineke Car Care or Music City Bowl, this is a quest for a third straight national championship. If Bohl didn't want to finish the season, he wouldn't.

It ended in disaster but Ohio State got what it wanted out of Tressel: a return to national prominence, consistently beating Michigan again, and one national title. They wouldn't go back and undo that now despite the one-year flame-out after the sweater vest was fired.

That's fine and dandy but his own kids are indluenced by the decision as well. Are they in Fargo too? Lincoln? Miami?

A previous poster brought this up. Interesting that folks are worried about his step-child but not know how the situation was previously handled with his now ex-wife and his own children. How come that hasn't been brought up?

Given the 'incident' that occurred at Nebraska, I think Bohl is likely to stay away from Lincoln. I am surprised at all the shock I'm seeing. Raiding programs for coaches happens all the time while the season is still going on - USC hires Sarkisian back from Washington and interim Ed Orgeron quits immediately in protest. Washington promptly plucks Chris Peterson away from Boise State as a replacement. Boise hires Chris Mussman away from UND tomorrow. Ok, just kidding on that last one but you get the idea. I would bet that Boise State gives Eastern Washington or Sam Houston State a call on Monday though. Sorry, Bison fans...this is how it is done. Still think you can take on the Alabamas and Florida States of the BCS knowing your coach is now going to pull in a MILLION DOLLARS A YEAR MORE at small-time U of Wyoming?

Excuse me for saying its a stepping stone. Or did you think Bohl might get a call from Ohio State about fifteen minutes ago?
