"Lucia said that Casey Mittelstadt was injured on a cross-check to the back on Friday and seemingly was held out for precautionary reasons. He said he didn’t want to risk Mittelstadt aggravating his injury and wanted him back for next weekend’s series against Clarkson."
Lucia tries to put the blame on a cheap shot. Gonna call bs on that. Mittelstadt was simply too weak to hang in a game as physical as this series was.
It's somewhat common in higher education, more so in the last 2 years in ND as they've been trying to get people to retire early in order to avoid larger layoffs. For the rest of state government it would be much smaller or nothing at all. Kelley retired "on his own" before the state budget cuts so no, he didn't receive a buyout.
If we made a Venn diagram, I believe the "bison fan" circle would be entirely within the "crazy person" circle, but the "crazy person" circle would be larger than the "bison fan" circle, as not all crazy people are bison fans.
Again, when putting a horse out to pasture, do you give it a little pat on the butt or do you slap it across the face?
Tom is upset because Kennedy did what literally every leader does when a long-term employee "resigns" or "retires." It's nonsensical.
