The end of fun at Wright State has arrived
Wright State head coach Trina Smith has hired Nels Rydberg to be her new assistant coach, which spells doom for the hoodlums and hooligans in the Raider program: Rydberg has been working as a cop in Pismo Beach, California for the last three years. All Raider athletes have until next week to discard their stolen traffic signs, discontinue their rampant jaywalking, and return all overdue movies to Blockbuster. Those who fail to comply fully will be issued citations and fines commensurate with their infractions.
Furthermore, on road trips players will no longer be allowed to signal for passing truck drivers to honk their horns.
This continues the trend of non-traditional hirings started by IU a couple of years ago when they hired TV reporter Dottie Porch to be an assistant for the Hoosiers. Perhaps this is something new for the game? Have we arrived at an era where Joe Sagula's replacement for Lizzy Stemke will come from the garment industry?

Classic! I love it. Gives new meaning to expressions like serving "bullets" and running a "shoot," doesn't it?
Yes, on the surface it's an odd hire but I do have 10 years of collegiate coaching experience.
BTW, thanks for putting me between Mary Wise and John Cook. Not bad company.

Love ya', Nels! Obviously you got the job because you know what you're doing. You wouldn't have gotten the gig, otherwise. Couldn't resist the former cop angle though!
As for sticking you between Cook and Wise, no problem. :-)
