sorry for my delayed response, but it took me several hours to pick myself off the floor. I mean, what just happened here? But to answer your question - Mel did - remember in his "introduction" press conference, he said (something like) "we're all getting in the car and we're driving the car straight to St. Paul Minnesota." Man, I can' believe that we actually debated whether brining Mel back was a good idea. What a coaching job.
And BTW Joe Cecconi says "Thank You God"
