other than solich loyalists... who was complaining this early in the cally experience anyway. this thread is just silly
Well, I'm not saying I don't support Pelini, because I do. Just like I supported Osborne, Solich, and Callahan. What is being jabbed at is the hypocrisy by a majority in Husker Nation, which I can clearly see. This is not an argument on who is the better coach, because, first of all, we don't know, secondly, who cares at this point? What's done is done. Callahan was in a no-win situation to start with(placed there by Pederson) and he sealed his fate by sticking with his buddy Cosgrove. What is interesting is that things that Callahan was mercilessly hammered for doing,
Pelini is getting a pass(burning redshirts for special teams comes to mind for one). I don't have a problem with Pelini doing this, I have a problem with those that hammered Callahan for burning redshirts for special teams duty(eventhough the players VOLUNTEERED FOR THIS) and are praising Pelini for getting the best guys out there, even if they are true freshmen. It just gets a little old and some of this crap needs to get put to bed. Callahan led NU to 2 losing seasons out of 4, which sucks. He also won the first North title since 99. Everything was not pure awful with Callahan, it wasn't all roses either. Do not take this as an endorsement for him still being coach here, because that is NOT what it is, Pelini is our guy now. I think we just need to eliminate the BS.

With that said, is it Saturday yet?
