Kinda peeved at Nebraska Football right now!?

[restored_order]

Bill Callahan had enough time to personally autograph a football for a wedding present for me and my wife...

I'd be proud of that. J-E-T-S, Jets, Jets, Jets!!!!!

I wouldn't wipe my dogs a$$ with that ball.

They probably are busy but how long does it take to sign your name on a football?

I'd say this sounds a lot like someone working the office blowing you off (not the athletic department as a whole or the entire Nebraska Football organization!). We all know BO and if someone asked him to sign something for a charity/community program/etc.. he would, of course, do it.

Someone just decided they couldn't be bothered to go rummage around for a ball or something, track down BO, get it signed, then find a box to put it in, throw in the ball with a message on department letterhead, tape up the box.. then get the UPS shipping label made and then off to shipping/receiving.

Next time.. I would suggest buying the football/whatever yourself, sending it to the athletic department with a return label.. so all they have to do is take the ball, get it signed, throw it back in the box and be done with it.

While I think that for things like charities and community organizations (especially in-state) it's not too unreasonable to ask for some autographs.. at least do them the courtesy of making it as easy as possible on them to do so.

So to sum up I see both sides here.. they (whoever it was) should not have led you to believe they were going to accommodate you and them blow you off.. and you probably could have done a bit more to make it easier for them to accommodate your request.

We didn't have to send anything to the University of Iowa, Iowa State University, University of Northern Iowa, The Kansas City Chiefs, The Iowa Barnstormers, etc. They just sent the things to us without a problem. I'm sure you are right though about the office person blowing us off. It happens and I'm over it, doesn't mean I don't love NU through and through.

Thats cuz all those teams suck and have time on their hands.

No, really, I think it's bad that NU didnt get it done for you, I dont see any valid excuse for that, they should be all over that kind of stuff.

Cosgrove has plenty of time to autograph whatever you would like.

"kevin cosgrove signed my jersey!"

He signed, "NOM NOM NOM!"

Calli and Coz are laughing all the way to the bank, that's the tragic thing...
