I'm not a fan of Pederson's, but I will admit that he has done some good things for the athletic department. Having said that however, I do wish he had more class and didn't always look and act like he's guilty of something.

Ganz has an excellent attitude and I admire the way he has continued to support the program and fight for playing time. However, lets no kid ourselves. Everyone in the state knows Keller will be the starter. It's a no brainer.

I have not read Shatel's column, as omaha.com no longer provides access to Shatel's columns unless you subscribe to the paper. I am a Shatel fan. I don't always agree with what he writes, but he's always interesting and gives his readers something to think about. I did hear Shatel on 1620 The Zone this afternoon. I don't think he did anything wrong. I do see the need for security at the athletic dept offices, but I do agree that the NU Athletic Department isn't like it used to be. I feel that they have distanced the department from "regular" Nebraska, but would have no trouble accepting our donations.

NO black on the uniforms... ever! I wish none of the Huskers teams in any sport were allowed to wear black.

what???

Excellent! We haven't had this type of confidence from a player in a quite a while. I love it! I think Keller will be a great leader on the field.

I liked the red socks too. It was unique.

I would love to go back to the uniforms of the early 1970s with the shoulder stripes. Classic!

I have no problems with Frost leaving Nebraska for Stanford out of high school. He did what he thought was best at the time, which is all any of us can do. Also, for as much as I love Husker football and can't imagine why a Nebraska kid wouldn't want to play for the Huskers, I do acknowledge that from time to time it will happen, but I don't think any less of the kid.

I agree. His emotion and intelligence is what won it for us.

I wish Scott Frost the very best with his new position at UNI. I hope he gains experience with various programs and then returns to Husker Nation one day as our head coach. This in no way is a knock against Callahan. I hope Callahan has a great career at NU and wins several championships, but one day I would love to see Frost on our sideline. He has always been one of my favorite Huskers.

Does anyone really buy the argument that there will be competition to determine the starting QB next season? Seems to me that everyone has been pointing to Sam Keller since day one.

Since he's going to another D1 school, shouldn't he have to sit out a year? I guess I'm confused by this. I'm stupid. I just re-read the article. Sorry!

This is an interesting article (hopefully it hasn't already been posted on this board). Wasn't Devine considering NU at one time? http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writ...vine/index.html

Has anyone heard anything about how Keller gets along with the rest of the team and what they think of him? Just curious.

I agree. But for the record, I don't know anything either.

I know what you mean about Keller, but it seems like it's been a long time since we've had an in-your-face type of leader and I think it hurts us by not having that.

Yes, I'm bored! We have many weeks of winter ahead of us before the spring game, and then we have summer to get through before fall camp arrives, so... Who will be named team captains in 2007? Does Sam Keller get the job with just one year as a Husker? From what I've heard about Keller and his attitude, I sure hope he's named captain.

I would have no problem with UNO becoming a Division I-A school. I do think Nebraskans, especially those in Omaha, would support the team, but UNO and NU would never be rivals and obviously the Mavs would never receive the support the Huskers receive.

Excellent!

Kind of ironic that Solich did recruit Nebraska guys, but turned down a big one; Danny Woodhead. I totally believe he would have made it as a Husker.

I think our roster will look very good next season, but keep in mind that our schedule doesn't get any easier.

I will always believe that had Callahan fit the system around the players he did have when he first arrived in Lincoln that our bowl streak would not have come to an end. Instead Callahan tried to make the players fit his system and it didn't work.

I go back & forth with Callahan. I still get upset thinking about the USC game (sorry to bring it up again), but I really think we could have won that game, but Callahan coached to minimize the loss and not to win. That disgusted me because Devaney, Osborne, Solich, never would have coached that way. For the record, I am glad that Solich was replaced, I think it was time. Callahan will show great moments and be creative with his play calling ala the Colorado game. But at the same time, was it necessary to show what was in the bag against a 2-9 team? That confused me. As for next season, we all know Sam Keller is good, but hopefully he can learn this complicated offense and make it work in one year. What happens the year after that? I just don't see that we're building a program for the long run. The one year at a time thing only goes so far. We have to have building blocks for the future and a coach who coaches with passion and "gets" what Nebraska is about. One more thing... I would love to see Callahan more relaxed with the media and with the fans. He seems to talk a lot at media conferences but never says much and never lets us in. Having sad all that, I do think that slowly we are getting better.
