  1. Ganz not the man. He won't be the starter his senior year. There's enough talent around that Callacan't won't play Ganz for one year and not develop Witt or Lee. Whatcha think, Solich is coaching QBs??
  2. The athletic program does "owe us something". The amount of aid to the UNL system that comes from the state budget is huge. True, football is a cash cow, however, to keep the cow a'milkin the AD has to be a leader whose staff would break their backs for. That isn't the case. You don't chase away your alumni, the best PR you can have. The things that went down in the late 80s and 90s were troubling, but it wasn't just at Nebraska. Saint Tom had a dark side that did allow his power to attempt to cover things up (his reputation with the Lincoln Police and County Attorneys office is a thread for another day). We may be passed that due to stricter NCAA rules and compliance officers. That being said, back to Pedersen. Yes, he has done some tasks that needed to be done, but again, his personality and ego doesn't work here. It didn't work in Pittsburgh. The comment "WE HAVE NO SAY AND WE SHOULD HAVE NO SAY! GET OVER YOURSELVES AND IF YOU CANT ACCEPT THIS THEN START YOUR OWN PHUCKING BOARD AND STAY OFF THIS ONE" is really out there. We do have a say and should have. We've been in and around the program for a long time, a lifetime. Accept the fact, Pedersen has issues.
  3. i for one agree totally. i love the program and the kids and always will as a faithful alumni, BUT Pedersen has, for all the good he has done (jury still out on alot of it too, i might add), is not someone i can get behind or admire or even trust. Now you can say that is not important if you want, but by gawd to many of us it is! There is alot of secrecy surrounding alot of what goes on now with the team and personnel and you can bet that is exactly by design per Pud. Callahan has got free reign to go over and above what most coaches have for decision making and his "pro attitude" sure doesn't fit what we have come to recognize in the past. Sure, we can't go back, we can't live in the past, but i am not too damn sure i like what i see in the future either. Just my opinion, don't expect to argue about it, but this whole "administration" hasn't felt right since it began. Couldn't have said it better
  4. OW Herald reported that former Husker Erwin Swiney was charged last week for suspicion of drug possession. Swiney and another guy were stopped in a rental vehicle near Grand Island on Feb. 22. The State Patrol located 41 pounds of marijuana in luggage in Swiney's ride.
  5. PR is a huge part of the AD's gig. His job is to bring in money. He doesn't do the daily grunt work. He needs to get a better image of himself and the program. Yes, fans will still buy tickets and go to FB games in spite of him as they love the program. Talk to former players and see how far things have sunk on 10th St. It's about selling your program. Pedersen doesn't get it (least I say the words Houston Nutt?)
  6. Pedersen has been UNL's worst PR nightmare. He is either so arrogant that he can't see the forest thru the trees or gets some real bad advice. From the handling of Solich's firing (not disagreeing with what had to be done) to the timing of Doak's removal, this guy needs a professional PR person. He reminds me of Hal Daub when he was Omaha's mayor. Good ideas, big ego, but comes across VERY egotistical.
