knapplc Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 Coach with lead foot talks traffic safety in ad FARGO, N.D. – The Fargo police chief says North Dakota State football coach Craig Bohl wouldn't have been tapped as a traffic safety pitchman had officials known about his driving record. The Forum newspaper reported Bohl has been ticketed for at least 18 traffic offenses since he was hired in 2003. Bohl's voice is featured in a 30-second traffic safety spot describing a string of crashes in Fargo that killed five people this fall. It's aimed at repeat offenders, and Fargo Police Chief Keith Ternes says it makes the ad less effective when "the messenger might be somebody we're trying to reach." Still, Ternes isn't pulling the ad. And Bohl says his driving history is one reason he agreed to do it. "I looked myself in the mirror and said, 'I need to slow down,'" he said. That's more than two a year! What the heck, Bohl! Quote Link to comment

okaive Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I know how Bohl feels. That I can remember, I have over 25 speeding tickets and have recently said the same thing as he did "I need to slow down" (only because I wouldn't be able to afford the insurance, even though not one ticket is on my record). So I can see why he wanted to be a spokesman for it. IMO, I would rather have someone that was deep in the hole with debt telling me why to not have 10 credit cards then a man that has never had one.

kchusker_chris Posted February 15, 2011 Share Posted February 15, 2011 I read about this a long time ago - did he get another ticket or am I missing something? Quote Link to comment

I think this site is just slow on getting news outside of the state unless it is a possible recruit coming here from out-of-state. haha Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted February 15, 2011 Author Share Posted February 15, 2011 I was cruising through some article yesterday and this was listed in "related news" so I posted it here because I thought it was funny. Typically, between myself and Nexus, you're going to get articles literally minutes after they were released. I doubt you'll find many forums with quicker access to Husker news than HuskerBoard.

Moving a thread doesn't prevent it from being discovered via search. Quote Link to comment
