Husker Nation is excited. TO is back! I think it is a sad thing that Steve Pederson was fired, but the fans and boosters would have settled for nothing less than seeing someone leave the program. We fell so far so fast, that only a drastic action would help raise our spirits. That and the well loved and respected visage of Tom Osborne. Due to his track record on the football field and in life, Tom is the perfect person to bring in and boost the Husker spirits. He's as much a mascot for the team as Herbie and Little Red! (In fact I like him much better than Little Red.) I'm glad he made a point to say he won't fire anyone before the end of the season and that he'll pay attention to all athletic programs, not just football. He's one in a million and I'm glad he's back if only for a short while.
My second comment for the day is a rant about the fact that Dan Cook says he's taking the University out of his will. Aw, come on! For the love of Pete! Actually its more like for the love of Pederson, but I don't understand why he would do such a thing. Well, I can, but still, suck it up! Just because someone has money doesn't mean they should use it to try and push people around! What did he expect? Did he really think nothing would happen after the boosters, board, and fans demanded actions? Did he think he and all his money should be consulted before such a big monetary decision was made? Support the real aspect of the University, the students! If you want to be snotty, just write in your will that the money can't be used for anything related to athletics. That would stick a sharp stick in their eye!
