The wife was at the library with the little one yesterday and she picked up this for me, because it was laying out on the table and thought I might enjoy it. I sat down today during his nap and read a large chunk of it. It is at the very least interesting to see the tone and attitude change throughout by the different LJS writers. They went from praising Callahan, to pissing on his face fast. As soon as the new girlfriend (Bo) came along they were so quick to praise him. One piece, with the header "He's buying into walk-on program" is a real doozy.
"All this walk-on talk probably sounds provincial and hokey and maybe even a tad arrogant to non-Nebraska fans. Some will snicker.
But this stuff is of supreme significance to most Husker fans, many of whom simply want their program back. They want that feeling back. To those folks, Pelini's words Wednesday must have been like music to the ears. Yes, Bo now gets it. He didn't need a script when asked about the importance of the Big Red walk-on program."
Looking back at those two parts of the piece, I was simply aghast. Husker fan's don't have their program back, the man in charge of doesn't want them to have their program, it is in fact his program, and he only allows you to share in it on his timetable and when it is convenient for him (See the Fan Day, Football 202, Cancellation of Big Red Breakfasts or the Media Ban of 2010).
