"Diary of a Husker"

[huskered17]

I started reading it, I am about 100 pages in right now. It's just interesting reading about his perspective on going to college as a Husker and all the experiences he had. It's definitely a quick read so far.

:yeah

GBR!!!

Just bought it and will add it to my collection along with the TO book.

DAMN still to long for kick off time.

I just am about done, it is a very good book, with a lot of insides on the program, I suggest every husker fan should read it :bonez

I finished it about 4 days after I got it. Lots of "insides." Great book!

Saw it at the Barnes & Noble in Lincoln. Looks like an interesting read.

Does he make FS look incompetant or anything?

Eh, incompetant is a little harsh, but he gives some background on why things started to slip. It was a good read.

Yeah, I finished it a couple months back. It was worth the price, IMO. Pretty interesting stuff.

Does it at least name FS as partly responsible? (his fault IMO)

A lot of what is said points to his lack of control of what was going on and everything started to spiral out of control. I'd pick it up if you can.

OK, I guess I will just have to buy it!

I have a friend who played for the Huskers during the late 80's, and he pretty much has said the same things about TO. You put 5 guys in the same spot at the same time, and you'll probably get at least as many as 3 different accounts as to what went on. I've read the book about Berringer's life, and well it's not exactly accurate. It's amazing how bad we tend to try to make people out to be after their fired, but how great we try to make them out to be if they die early. Look at JFK for instance. People make him out to the greatest ever. However, if he hadn't been assassinated, he could easily be compared to Clinton with all of his indiscretions. This book is nothing more than one person's thoughts. If a book was written about BC's coacing ability, it could put him in a positive light or in a negative light. I just don't put much stock in the accounts of a meat squad player.

After I started reading the book, I thought about the same thing of him being a meat squad guy for pretty much his whole career, getting in some long snaps toward the end. But I think he does a good job of telling how other guys were reacting to the changes being made in the program and not just his opinion. There were many other changes that were made in certain FB affiliated departments that probably did have a huge role in the success of the program. I would recommend the book to anyone who wanted to see what all went on in the life of a player and how the program started to slide.
