The shadow of Ozzy makes those of importance or relevance shake in their boots. This is classical. No matter in what manner we seem to look and judge the happenings since Ozzy retired, we all know that the legacy left can't be matched, and it make those in this position jealous.
Until the University accepts that Tom was the football program and is the living icon that still represents the program, your going to have lines in the sand drawn amongst fans and school officials.
In order to embrace the future, we must accept our past. Until we hire an administration the can accept the past, without being jealous, without being nonchalant, and have pride in what made up the program, folks its never going to resolve itself.
I agree, this shouldn't come out of the woodwork now, but its an issue thats in need of resolve, and in need of some deep soul searching amongst the powers to be at Nebraska.
I say no matter how Coach Riley does this year, the University needs to go and hire Trev Alberts as the next AD. Let Trev have a year or so and get the money boosters really back on board, bring TO back into the picture, and get those teams and players from the dynasty years back to some level of involvement in the program. That is what made Nebraska great. That will be what makes them once again a force to be reckoned with.
