Kolpacks book: Horns Up

[HerdBot]

Just finished it. I won't do any spoilers but I will say it's a must read for Bison Fans.

I want to thank Jeff. He obviously put a ton of effort into this. He is the only person in the state who could have pulled it off. Please go out and buy it to show your appreciation.

Jeff's dad would have been proud. I think it's actually better than the original.

[Bison bison]

ill check it out from the library.

[pucknut9]

Signed one for me. Have yet to start to read it. Will soon after I finish the current book I'm reading.

[SomeBeach]

I hear if you don't like at least 8 of the chapters, he has to give you your money back.

[BisonNeil]

I enjoyed it immensely!

I'm glad you're keeping quiet. I don't want to know those championship games turn out til I read the book. :)

[IBleedYellow]

Awesome book. Just awesome.

This statement deserves more love.

Also, Is Scheels selling it? I'd like to pick up a copy when I roll through there next week.

I went yesterday since everyone was talking about it. Not on sale at scheels until the 22nd. Not an amazon person so I guess I'll wait.

[THEsocalledfan]

I'm about half way done. I do plan on doing a full review when I am completed that I'll post here and Amazon.

One nugget that should not be surprising; he clearly lurks here and smart enough not to post like Hammer back in the day. Makes sense since there are "in the know" folks here who hear whispers early on big stories. (Hell, I broke the USD was not going Big Sky.) He alludes to bisonville when talking about Carson's injury.

However, I was very humbled when he lifted my post from Bisonville to help honor Scott Miller. That was completely unexpected, and you can imagine my surprise when I started reading my own words in his book.

Did he credit you as the source??

I just went back and looked up your post. He picked the right one, that summed it up for a lot of us.

[THEsocalledfan]

He said it came from Bisonville, but not my name. I think he called it the "fan site." I am good with it as he made it clear he did not write it and quoted it.

It would be interesting to know who actually owns that intellectual property.....tony or me? (I am only interested since I am an author and deal with permissions all the time. CAS, Tony? You know?)

Id say Tony, but with some Amex Miles and bluebird points you might be able to hack the ownership.

[El_Chapo]

WONT BUY, WILL ACTIVELY PERSUADE PEOPLE NOT TO BUY.

its so D2.

I'd hope not.

Not sure that I like Jeff not naming the site though... what's that about?

Oh well, that will bother me for the next 5 seconds, 4, 3, 2, 1... and I'm done.

Own it when it makes you look smart

[THEsocalledfan]

Solid point. So good post, my property. Dumb post, Tony's property.

Man, Tony owns a lot of awfully dumb posts......

[bisonmike2]

If Kolpack can just lift post from Bisonville, I wish he would have included a chapter of Lake-ism's. Pump It UP! Championship! We're going to be partying in the parking lot by halftime!

Should be a chapter on the Rain Forest... or the grassy area that used to be beyond that which I will always think of as the "Be Loud Glade.*"

[Bisonator98]

How much does NDSU get from the sale of these books? I'm assuming NDSU gets something right? Did they get anything from his dads book?

I doubt they get anything. But, could be wrong. The intellectual property is almost all Jeff's and he probably paid Sampson and others a bit to use their stuff. If anyone has a legit argument for a cut, it would be FCC if they thought Jeff was lifting stuff he wrote for them.

[bri-dog]

I'd hope not.

Since you technically posted it anonymously you own nothing. IP is anonymous and owned by the electrons that are in the wild world web.

Is it truly anonymous since he can prove that he posted it (prove it's his account), or does it only count that it was anonymous at the time of posting?

Not really a big deal, but it's interesting to me. For example: could anything written on this site be used to prosecute?

[HerdBot]

I loved hearing Jeff's inside scoop on when Bohl left, The tension between Bohl/Klieman/Gene Taylor/Unnamed players/coaches/Media.. And even the courting of Kramer. Interesting hearing quotes before and after. It's a really good read. Totally glued to the book while reading that.

Looking forward to that chapter; not there yet. The behind the scenes discussion of the 2008 and 2009 disaster years was fabulous; I know that sounds weird, but it really did a pretty good job of talking about what went wrong. It is really remarkable that Bohl recovered from that. (Yes, I do realize he should have prevented it too.....)

Yeah I think that's a 30 for 30. Directed by Josh Duhamel for Hollywood flair

[daddy daycare]

Amazing book. Loved early on when the JSU players were talking sh*t in the tunnel and it was pissing the bison players off.

The bohl chapter is fascinating. Something we could've assumed I guess. I'm sorry, I don't want to spoil anything but based on these accounts I have lost respect for him as how he treats human beings. BTW...long live Cole Jirik.

does he talk about the drinking?

Amongst other things. But yes that is a great section of the book too.

I'm the same as you. Read this in less than a day.

[BisoninNWMN]

Very good read.

Really enjoyed it.

[Bison_Pride]

Good job Kolpack. I know you're gonna read this.

My only complaint? It should have been even longer!

[EC8CH]

He's said he may write a follow-up.

[bri-dog]

He's said he may write a follow-up.

So he's going to have a whole series?

I always wondered what the "J.K." stood for in J.K. Rowling...

[PlainsBison]

I think a chapter on the season ticket explosion would have been interesting. But regardless, an A+ book.

I remember posting something on here along the lines of Bohl being a greasy politician type and not a good guy and getting absolutly blasted since he was still the coach here. Nice to see that it wasn't just me.

[NovaBison]

Nice article on the book by Craig Haley!

Maybe been asked or discussed in other threads... What was the loyalty clause Bison Bobber wanted Rocky to sign?

Anytime they had a disagreement, Rocky was obliged to head to a public park with Bobber.

Just finished it. Had some good information. Theres some repetitive stuff but over all it was a good read.

[1993bison]

Started to read it. I don't like how he named names of donors and disclosed sales tactics even though it's probably obvious how the solicitation works.

[THEsocalledfan]

Speaking as an author, he has no financial obligation to NDSU as they do not own Jeff's intellectual property that he gained through reporting on them for so many years. The royalties are the reward for busting your ass and writing the book. (In this case, it appears to me Jeff owns the book as he self-published so little different than me.) As much as they are hated, the more legit claim would be by the Forum as much of his material he obtained was done on their dime and have some claim to the intellectual property used. Not sure he had to give them a cut or not, but it would be hard to dispute if he did have to pay them a little since they clearly own most of his previously written work.

Now, should Jeff give a donation in good will? That is a completely different discussion, but I don't think he should feel obligated to, or be required to donate a percentage, etc.
