I'm not sure I would call it a, 'shame'. I never agree with the sheer venom from some fans that accompanies losses, but who the heck wants to have a mediocre--or worse--Big Red?! I think we've got to maintain the standard.His comments surprised me...we had his back when he was arrested twice and this is how he repays us?
What the hell are you talking about? When I looked on this board during the summer, there were several page threads, with a majority of the posts saying "What an idiot, no room for him here...". Even if WE (whoever that means) DID back him, how the hell is he supposed to know that? Is he expected to check up on his status with the fans via the most accessible husker messageboards? Or is he supposed to listen to the 85,000 on gamedays...
What part about "they only care about winning" do you really think is accurate, or even appropriate coming from a (former) representative of the University of Nebraska?
Um, pretty much all parts of it are accurate. You guys can talk all you want about it being about "the way in which we play", but last year we were very competitive with four top 10 teams, and people were still calling for Callahan's job. No matter how tough your teams are, and how close you get in big games, you aren't going to stay at Nebraska if you don't win, because that is what everyone cares about more than anything else.
It's a shame really.
Calli was getting the big bucks: he just couldn't have a season like this and hope to survive. The bottom line is really not a personal thing against Calli for me; you get the big bucks at a power school and you've got to win in a big way. :corndance
This ain't Indiana--or "Whatever U".
