Stone is retiring. Long live Stone!

"OK, guys, let's go over this again: I'm gonna take a job at Georgia, but I'll be back in four months."

Jim Stone, sworn protector of the Buckeye Nation and coach of more Canadians than Scotty Bowman, is retiring at the end of this season.

Of course, the messageboards are rife with speculation as to who will replace Stone, with Timmy Horsmon and G-off Carlston mentioned most often.

I don't want to make any rash assumptions, but...Rod Wilde was seen updating his resume´ at the Kinko's on Washington Ave. in Madison yesterday morning.

Failing that, I think this is a perfect opportunity for Jack Magelssen to get back in the game.
