McKeon

[gratefulhusker]

Wouldn't have suprised me honestly. But you're talking about a grown man, 40 years old or whatever getting $1.2mil/year or whatever. And you're talking about confirmable evidence.

It's one thing to accuse a 40 yeard old adult who makes millions, it's quite another to do it to a 20 year old kid who's playing for the love of the game and the fans and the coaches and the other players.

If THIS kind of rumor is to be posted, it should be at the very least backed up with some solid confirmable evidence.

So, what EXACTLY is your position? It's okay to talk about Callahan, but not about grown men - players (simply because they are in college?)

Here's your confirmable evidence regarding Callahan: http://media.www.dailynebraskan.com/media/....shtml?xmlsyn=1

Otherwise, I'll try and get on a police report and judge's statements immediately.

McKeon's "alleged" comments don't surprise me in the least. Especially regarding what I have witnessed from him.

Dude, I said I would have believed it about callahan before it was confirmed, merely because of his history: throat-slash, f*ing hillbillies, etc... I understand that it is confirmed about Callahan.

Do you not see the difference between a 40-yeard old coach who is getting paid $1.2/mil a year, and a college kid?

My position is this: a coach is much more fair-game than a student-athlete. Comparing this unconfirmed rumor, which is attacking the character of two of our student-athletes to a confirmed instance of what our head coach said is asinine.

If you can't see the difference, then I have no idea what's wrong with you.

If this is true (heck, even if it's NOT), then I hope the new coach comes in here this fall and benches (or cuts) every single player who pulls crap like this. You would never have been on the field under TO or Solich if you did that under THEM.

"I'm a man! I'm 40!" Sorry, had to do it.

Let's just all admit one thing. If you were there, and you saw someone his age (which is my age) acting a fool like is alleged, you'd hate that guy. You're trying to have a good time and he's bringing everything down. Of course, you'd hate the guy that egged him on, but come on. Shut your mouth and let's party.

I guess what is "wrong" with me is that you defend McKeon, without any contradictory evidence for yourself. Aren't you about the same age as these "kid" players? If you were playing for a prominent D-1A program (i.e., Nebraska) could you honestly not take the heat, pressure and expectations that come with that?

I respect that you are defending our players...but at some point, no matter their age, they need to be held accountable for their performance and actions. You can go on believing that the McKeon "rumors" aren't true. That's fine.

I'm guessing you haven't ever witnessed it. What exactly would you consider CONFIRMABLE evidence? Seriously? Other than a video...how do we satisfy your requirements? Do I need a notary with me?

Please remember this: while our student-athletes may not be paid a salary, their school and other costs are paid for. They came here to play football for Nebraska...I wouldn't exactly call what they do Pro bono.

i agree.

I hope that isn't true. Put it this way, don't let me run into him, i will call him on it.

Brass Rail. Nice. Isn't that next to that awesome strip club "Foxy Lady"?

Sure I'm 22. However; I hold a position in a company which I get paid for. If I screwed up or slandered any aspect of my company I would expect harsh punishment for it. Essentially when you get paid for what you do, there is more responsibility. Callahan makes $1.2/mil year, he should be accountable for his actions. The players are on scholarship, and should be held accountable. There's no debate there. But they chose to player here at NEBRASKA when they could have gone to almost any other school. Anyway, come on.. this is a "he said, she said" thing and should be handled internally. It does no-one any good to bash our players with unprovable rumors.

As far as evidence goes, how about getting the bar to put out a statement that the players in question were actually there that night. That would be a start. But, no I don't think there's really any way to prove something like this unless someone credible witnessed and reported it.

I am not defending McKeon or Keller. I have no way of knowing whether there's anything to defend or not. That's the problem. I could make some claim that Cody Glenn is an astronaut and defend it tooth and nail but it doesn't make it true. Now, I pull out a NASA uniform with his name on it and it's a different story.

I guess the question is.. what is the point of posting a rumor like this, except as an attempt to get people to lose respect for a HUSKER!

 

[Sker4Ever]

All I can say is if it is true that shows total "class" :sarcasm

 

[zoogs]

I don't like this report (if true) as much as any of you - but, well, forgive the players if this season has been a little ridiculously hard on them and if the fans have been as friendly and supportive as a torch-toting murderous mob.

Correction, Callahan makes $1.75 million per year (more than Jim Leavitt).

 

[zoogs]

You'll find that coaches at big-name schools with a long history of success tend to get paid more than coaches at schools who didn't even play football in 1996.

 

[Sker4Ever]

Is it just me or does it seem as though the players and coaches hate the idea of tradition and thats what is truly getting under there skin?
