[Husker] What We Don't Need Is More Change

[Steve Reichenbach]

There was a quote, I think by F. Washington about how long ago the
last NU-CU game seemed to him.  I don't think there was any player
who wanted to get the "whole thing over and done with", but I agree
that the emotional toll on team cohesiveness must have suffered and
BC and staff were not able to overcome it.  I hope this is just a
result of the change and that BC won't have future problems with
teams not being prepared to play as well as they can.  The team did
not play to its potential and the results were disappointing.
