Then, and Now
1995 Husker Tunnel Walk: 2007 Husker Tunnel Walk: I’ve never really taken a close look at the evolution of the Husker Tunnel Walk before; mainly, the year-to-year progression is so incremental that the changes just haven’t stood out. Granted, the 1995 team is hailed as one of the greatest college football teams of all time,…

Bloggers On Booing
Jeffie Husker at Doube Extra Point on the boos heard in Memorial Stadium last Saturday: I’m sort of indifferent to the booing. I think it flies in the face of our self-applied “greatest fans in college football” label, but that ship had sailed years ago. As a fan, I believe you are entitled to voice…
McKeon Takes A Tone
Corey McKeon speaks out about the criticsm the team is taking. All this garbage on Facebook, and on the Internet, and all the blogs, it’s garbage. He also said it’s hard for him to go to class when he plays bad. Oh, he defends the Huskers’ 3-1 record and says he should be having fun,…
“In America, People Expect Excellence” -Bill Callahan
According to the Omaha World Herald, Bill Callahan doesn’t try to protect his players from mounting criticism. He doesn’t ask them to ignore news media coverage but to handle what they read or hear with character and poise. “Players are human beings.

Ameritas Offers Fan Site
Yesterday, while listening to the game on the radio feed provided by Huskers.com, I took note of some of the sponsors. Good old Dorothy Lynch from Columbus was there with a spot. Fan community site, NUFans.com, also ran a spot that drove me to their site. Upon closer inspection, NUFans.com turns out to be a…
Bumbling Bill Loserhan In The Spin Room
Nebraska State Paper and Associated Press were there to hear Callahan’s “framing of the issue” after the game yesterday. Callahan was again was upbeat and positive after a game that very well could have had fans calling for his job. They might anyway. Nevertheless, he said he’ll keep preaching perspective. “There are all types of…
