So what exactly is a big time Las Vegas donor?

Someone who loses a lot of $ there?

Whales? anyone?

Well if that's all it takes to be a big donor, I guess I have helped. I always like to leave my money there to help the cause :lol:

GBR!!!

 
Pelini would not have had to fly into Lincoln to sign papers...they could have kept it hush hush by just sending a lawyer and notary down to his place in LA. Any rumors on here are just that....and we won't know anything until it happens....period.

 
Trucker is right. I can't see TO doing anything until after CU and I really can't see him messin' with a coach who is very involved with a possible BCS Championship team. ...T_O_B

Actually, I think there is rules against messing with a coach under contract without the permission of the University that he works for...and I highly doubt that LSU would do anything to mess up that team's psyche at this stage, being that they have been ranked at the top of the BCS since the first poll was out.

 
A Big Time Las Vegas Donor? So is he a bad gambler with a lot of money? Really I wouldnt trust the word of a problem gambler. He could call 1-800-Bets-Off, that might help him with his problem. Really Vegas doesnt need his money, they are doing pretty well I hear.

Jackie Gaughan family provides capstone gift for UNL's new multicultural center.

"It is my hope the new Jackie D. Gaughan Multicultural Center will provide students a place where they can come together and learn to be respectful of the many unique individuals they will encounter in their lives," Jackie Gaughan said from his home in Las Vegas. "I hope they grow to understand a diverse society is truly a richer place to live."

Construction of the $8.7 million center, to adjoin the east side of the Nebraska Union, will begin upon completion of final designs. As tentatively planned, the center will open in early 2010 with three floors and 30,000 square feet of space....

According to a contact who knows a big time (?) Las Vegas donor, Callahan took a buyout offer on last friday. Saturday was his last time coaching at NU, and that is why after the game he walked off the field.

The second part of the rumor is that Shawn Watson will coach for the CU game, and that at the end of the season Bo Pelini will be named the HC. Pelini is rumored to have already accepted the job, rather than wait and see if he would be offered the HC position at LSU if the current HC went to Michigan.

I have no proof that this is true, but it will be interesting to see what happens in the next couple of days.

Here's hoping!

:corndance :hellloooo

sorry, but that will go ahead and give me the nod to say i don't believe it.. not saying that you do, there is just not going to be anything dealing with coaching changes until after the cu game

Unfortunately, Jackie suffers from Dementia and would not be in a position to know or understand the situation.
