I don't see this as a bad thing.  The past few years have been a media 
circus, and very little of that had to do with the play of the football 
team...other than to lament over the losses.

I see this year as a fresh start for the coaches and administration.  The 
players only have to think about football, not their opinions about the 
changes.

As the season approaches, my excitement has been growing.  I can't wait to 
see the new QB in action.  I can't wait to see Lucky break a long one.  I 
can't wait for the first kickoff.  I can't wait to listen to the games via 
the Internet.  Finally, I can't wait see the Huskers back in the thick of 
things.
