"This is the most unprofessional thing I've dealt with in my 30 years in
this business." Dave Maggard, UH AD

Headline: Maggard Livid..

ESPN and Maggard scrambling after Cornhuskers backout at last minute,
instead scheduling D 1-AA Maine for opener.

Page 2 Headline: Source say Nebraska is dodging possible upset.  "Sources
close to Nebraska program said the teams staff, after this season's 5-6
record and the defections of several players, did not want to take the
chance of getting spanked by the Cougars (in prime time) on national TV."

"We'll figure out a solution, but they are developing a reputation.....it is
a sad commentary on the people running that athletic program."

Other adjectives for PH's (Pederson Huskers) in the article include gutless,
spineless, and shameful.
