Rock on. Again no flames intended. I have learned a lot of good folks on here.We offered Mike Riley a job. Mike Riley did not ask us for a job. He accepted what we gave him, which was a contract with included a buyout. Mike Riley is not unlike the rest of humanity in obviously accepting an offer of millions of dollars for trying to do a job but knowing he'll get the money either way. That's a dream scenario for your average American citizen. The only thing insane, if any, is on our end.
Frost is a surname with a rich scandinavian history. it originates from Danish, Icelandic, Norwegian meaning born at the time of frost (winter) or someone with an icy or unbending disposition, and was originally a title of one who was shown to be unflinching in times of battle or confrontation, or to have an "icy" disposition, rather than a surname.

This thread went from warm bucket of hamster vomit to educational and insightful. Top notch!
And Palisade(s) is a state park in S. Dak. I've enjoyed it many times growing up in SD."Palus" is the ancestor of the modern word "palisade."
Etymology is fun!
Listen I don't know you, you could be a major a$$, (your word) I don't know.
But I do know any man that fails to do a job and walks away with millions of dollars needs scrutiny.
As I said IN THE FIRST POST, I know we are contractually obligated. All I am saying is it would make a point to this guy (Riley) that coming here ,not giving a damn ( and he did not give a damn, or he was completely incompetent, you pick) and walking out with millions is just insane.
You say he was a good coach and he tried. BOGUS. We were not COMPETITIVE AT ALL against Minnesota, and IOWA. If we were at least competitive then I would believe. Accountability much?
And I am not the only one who thinks so. There might not be many in here, and those who are here are probably hesitant to put up with the abuse.
