Plus he's a true "hired gun" outsider who's not rooted or loyal to Husker tradition, nor is he held to the same standards (the same "yardstick") as true Huskers who always instilled the team with Husker character like Frank S. And because BC was brought here by an ego-driven, Fortune 500-thinking AD and now SP and BC are joined at the hip, true Husker football, tradition, class and integrity seemingly have gone out the window (maybe to Wall Street or Hollywood?). So as a result, true and dedicated fans like us and our families have been left with not only more losses than we ever thought possible (including ego-fabricated Big 12 North trophies when all the other teams in the North are little more than high school quality), but also an Athletic Department run by classless and clueless "anti-pillars" of the community that we can't even look up to anymore. Therein lies a lot of our collective frustration, I believe. Poor quality performance and lack of quality leadership on the field, and even poorer quality AD and coach character off the field, appearing to be untrue and even apathetic to Husker tradition and Husker Nation.

Well its not and it wasnt working in 2001. Why would we deserve to go to that game after the week before when we got DESTROYED by Colorado. We got absolutley killed and they still put us in the National Championship. The score wasnt a blow-out, but the way we played and the way things could have gone, we could and probably should have lost by more than 20! The Big 12 might have been more powerful then, but no one in the Country thought we should have been there but the computers. I was excited when we went but I had that feeling in the pit of my stomach that we would get killed: and we did. I dont know how you can say I'm not a fan by saying that we didnt deserve it. The facts arent skewed, were all fans here, and none of us are better fans than the others. The point is it was in the past and it doesnt matter. one last thing...wasnt this supposed to be on Sam Keller? Youre saying the BCS is working? Well its not and it wasnt working in 2001.

How many years did it take us to get the computerized BCS poll which combines the existing Coaches and Sports writers polls??? Since, Nebraska was put in the championship game by everyone in America, YOU say the Huskers didn 't deserve it?? You think 34-17 is being blown out? What a fan. At least the Huskers didn't MAKE UP a fictitious trophy and award it to THEMSELVES the way that STEVE And Bill did this year!! In case you don't remember , cause you must not have been around back then, when Nebraska won the big 12 north, and when they went to the NC game, there were close to half if not more, of the big 12 teams in the top 25. The big 12 was in the top 2 conferences in those days , not 5 or 6 where we are now. Clearly you have your facts skewed , at your own convenience I guess.

We arent making our argument over Sam Keller based on how his incident compares to those of Lawrence Phillips. We arent saying what Sam did was right but he is a Husker and I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt. Now lets talk about Frank...First of all, the nationional championship that he took us to wasnt even deserved. We were blown out just like we knew we would be. We didnt deserve that game and you know it. The north was always bad and it still is. This is the same thing that happened in Kentucky basketball. Tubby was gonna get fired because he wasnt winning like he should be. Frank was not winning like he should have been. He wasnt recruiting well and he wasnt much of a motivator. He was no Tom Osbourne or Bob Devaney to put in small words. It was time for a change. Frank just wasnt fit to be the head coach at Nebraska. You might not think Bill Callahan is fit for the job. For now, Bill isnt winning like Nebraska should be winning. If he keeps up, he'll end up like Frank. He will be winning but not winning in the Nebraska way. I think that Bill deserves the same amount of time that Frank got unless we start to win and get back to being a national powerhouse! For now, Bill is on his way to becoming just like Frank, but it looks like he has another few years to change. Hopefully he does (I dont want to go through another rebuilding process or another 5 years of restocking)! First of all, Lawrance Phillips is just an example.

You all know darn well how Tom Osborne agonized over what to do with him. What it boiled down to was, Tom tried to do what was right for Mr. Phillips. It never was a matter of, Lawrence, no matter what you do off the field, please deliver the team and "we will pull you around Lincoln in a chariot". It may be the right thing to look the other way when kids act like kids. Try to bring them around for the betterment of the individual and the team. But,what I hear you all saying is 'who cares if Sam Keller doesn't know how to be respectful to a female as long as he wins'. I also hear you saying Frank wasn't going anywhere, after he took us to the National Championship game and 2 division north titles. Frank finished 5 out of 6 years in the top 25, and YOU SAY HE WASN'T GOING ANYWHERE?? What have you been drinking?!?! By the way, Bill's record so far is 2 out of 3 years OUT OF THE TOP 25. Bill's record so far is NO SEASONS WITH 10 WINS IN 3 YEARS. I think Frank only had 3 of those. Frank even had 10 wins in his rebuilding year after the one dismal season. THEN HE GETS FIRED FOR 10 WINS!!??? Yet you sit here and defend folks who have NO manners or class and have already been ran out of another part of the country for their lack of what it takes to make it in a class program. Bill AND Sam. Go figure. For some reason you still call yourselves Husker fans. Only in America. The Huskers USED to stand for something much more!! I do not intend to question your loyalty to Nebraska, or your sincerity. I do scratch my head and question your judgement. How many times are you going to pull out the ‘Lawrence Phillips’ issue?

And what Sam did was way worse than constsant drug use and being kicked off the team (wink wink)! What He did wasnt so terrible...AND who would turn someone in for saying a naughty word to you and throughing a little plastic cup in your direction. It would be a waste of time! He isnt a bad guy and he most likely wont get kicked off the team like some of our former "thug" players. Im with Bugeater on this one. Who remembers lawrence phillips?

In fact, when Osborne brought in his thugs from New Jersey and Florida, we started putting rings on fingers. Surely, you recall that glorious time on the field (and trouble off) Big Red Fred. For the record, I'm not condoing Keller's punk move, I'm making a joke of it. We’ve had rude, if not criminal, players for a long time.
