I have a problem with Coach K.

[NDSUSR]

Please someone teach him how to tie his tie.

Coach K this one is for you:

[NDSU1980]

Actually, if you want a good looking knot, you need to tie a Shelby knot rather than a double Windsor. A Windsor will always hang off balance.

[bri-dog]

I think it's a clip on...


Nice tie! Is that a clip-on? Boon, come check this out. Excuse me. Pardon me. Ninety percent rayon! Very nice.

[THEsocalledfan]

Funny, I had already posted this in a different thread. Great minds think alike. I have to think one of the Straus guys will help him out.

We do need to cut him some slack; he is clearly still adjusting to the CEO role. I really admire that he is copying some of Craig Bohl's very good traits, and his "looking the part" were one of them. Despite how casual society has become, Coach Bohl really understood that and glad to see Coach K. "getting it."

[StL Bison Fan]

Send to Mrs K. She will fix this .

[scottietohottie]

Omg I said that my only complaint with those who stay will be champions DVD was kliemans tie. Someone needs to get on this asap.

Simple solution do not wear a tie!!!!!!!!

[Ndsu84]

A half Windsor is the way to go. Straus needs to step it up.

[IzzyFlexion]

I'd go with a nice bolo.

[Bisonville GasMan]

A half Windsor is the way to go. Straus needs to step it up.

I agree with the half Windsor...if done right won't be askew either. A full Windsor looks ok, but too bulky in my opinion.

[loudsilverado]

Ralph Lauren Polo and call it a day imo.

[Bisonville GasMan]

Maybe forgo the tie and go for a more relaxed look...

Agreed...fat ugly knots, especially with a thicker material

Agreed. And keep wearing the tie. Coach Bohl got that right.

[scottietohottie]

Agreed. And keep wearing the tie. Coach Bohl got that right.
The lack of eyebrows distracted from the tie.

[PlainsBison]

Whenever I tie a tie, it takes me about 3-to-4 times to get it right. It's a process.

[Hammersmith]

Actually, if you want a good looking knot, you need to tie a Shelby knot rather than a double Windsor. A Windsor will always hang off balance.

The single Windsor has a tendency to hang off balance. A double Windsor doesn't. I go with the double unless it's a short tie or made of thick material. I also leave them tied(a big no-no) to speed up my mornings.

I leave them tied too :hide:. If I untied them, I'd have to call in my wife.

When you can coach a defense to give up 10 ppg, he'll tie his tie like you want.

[1998braves64]

I prefer the askewness of a single Windsor. Double Windsor requires me to be precisely perfect as the longest ties that I used to be able to find would barely reach correct length, plus it was bulky.
Sent from Win8 phone on a bullet train from Hillsboro.

[DjKyRo]

I love that this is our biggest gripe with our team. Remember the time we coughed up like 48 to Sam Houston State in 2009 and everyone wanted to lynch Breske on the Churchill quad? I like this better.

Is this tie knot issue holding up production?

Which knot you should use depends on how the collar on the shirt is cut.

[A1pigskin]

I think it also looks bulky.

[Bison 4 Life]

I'm just going to say it. I never wear a tie. Working from home, some days I don't get out of my PJs. I don't even have a single suit. I'm very glad I don't have to worry about wearing a tie.

Agreed.

[B. b. bison]

Exactly this - along with the tie material and cut. A big Windsor knot with a point collar is just as out of place as a small Four-in-Hand or Pratt-Shelby with a spread collar.

Anybody have any thoughts about the fact our new AD goes dimpleless? :)

He could probably shave his eyebrows and nobody would say a dam thing about it. Some people would probably even get mad if you pointed out the fact that he doesn't have eyebrows.

Also I remember how you tried to use your program as an umbrella and it lasted approximately 10 seconds.

I like the fact coach K can't properly tie his tie. He's a football coach, not a metrosexual. He has eyebrows and a nice head of hair.

[Ndsu84]

Everybody wants to be like the Bison. Of course the tie thing is a joke but didn't the New York Times run an article about Bohl and his suits? Pretty cool how much the Bison are noticed.

Klieman's as good as they get, maybe if his tie is perfect he will get stolen away from us faster! Dang!

I'm not highly connected or in the know like some here, but am close (on a personal level) to a couple people in the department. I know for a fact many over there read BV. Not saying the coach, but some in admin do

Edit: "many" is an exaggeration. There's a lot of people working in that department

It would have been so funny if he would have completely trolled you guys with a worse tie.

that is funny. He comes out no tie, down a couple of buttons...."I heard I have a tie problem." "Damn this job is demanding." He would rather show up for an interview in his coaching gear after a workout.....but Strauss has other opinions.

He just looks SHARP either way... before & after!!! Loved that darker gray suit!

First, this thread is chock full o' win.

Second, I've come very close to posting this confession a couple times but some secrets are too painful to relate. Anyway, deep breath, here it is: I have worn a four-in-hand (skinny knot) with a spread collar. I knew it was wrong but did it anyway. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

And I can never get a dimple to stay in my ties. And my only evening jacket has neither a shawl nor peaked collar.


In my defense: Shawl collars belong on smoking jackets and reveal too much shirt (because I spill.) Peaked collars are too fussy. <-- just my opinion

And while I'm at: cummberbunds look like they belong on genies and are the fanny pack of evening wear (exception: Military dress uniforms.) And bow ties should look like you were already drunk when you tied them. <-- again, just my opinion.

[Bisonfan1]

With the instructions and all, never could tie a decent windsor, and or whatever else is out there. Solution - Just call me Captain Clip- On. :D

[loudsilverado]

Nothing wrong with a cut off Harley shirt for a night out on the town either, right CAS?

[aces1180]

Throw on a fanny-pack for even more win!

On a good day I can get a Windsor on my first try.... On an average day.... Takes about 15 tries and results in me settling for a bad look.

[loudsilverado]

Not a fanny pack, have to clip on the phone case since phones are getting so damn big. Pretty soon they will be lap top size.

[DORMIE]

My first sales job when I finished SU in 1968 was with IBM. Suit, white shirt and tie. Needless to say that the full windsor was the way to go. Never had a problem with it. Now it's only with marring, burying or collecting money!!!

actually that one depends. You can wear various pairs..... Like a Foghorn Leghorn hat with George P. Dog on your tshirt Or you can wear the Scooby Doobies on your hat and the Yogi Yahooeys on your shirt. Or you can get really out there and where Mumbly on your hat and Dirty Dalton on your shirt or any kinda combination of there of..... Deputy dog etc. Pretty much as long as you stay in the same network you are fine. What you can not do is cross an ice man with say a Grape Ape.

Right?!! Used to think it was the ultimate no-no to wear brown with black. But what do I see everywhere??? Girls wearing black yoga pants and brown knee high boots. I'd also like to add that I am in no way complaining about these offenders. Carry on ladies, carry on.

You have a keen eye.... I know not to wear black and brown... However the boots and leggings/yoga pants has never struck me as anything other than the best fashion trend to hit since white kids all wore those swag And One outfits in the late 90's

You would change your mind after 2 hours at O'Hare airport. Some things can not be unseen, they should not make XXL yoga pants.
