[Husker] Sittler

[JEN_SENS]

Jon,

Where did I even faintly insinuate that a tit for tat mentality is
acceptable.

I was simply responding to the comments agreeing with Sittler's damnation of
Callahan as the sole cause of the deterioration of the vaunted
Nebraska-Oklahoma tradition of respect. Sittler conveniently overlooked a
lot of the factors that sparked Callahan's reaction.

Callahan does have a lot to learn. He is stubborn. He is not perfect.
(Remember they crucified the only perfect man who walked the earth.) Each of
us is flawed. Our friends have flaws that we choose to deal with charitably.
Those whom we don't like have flaws we instantly criticize.

Good grief, Callahan tries to make a joke and everyone jumps down his
throat. At least give him time to see if he begins to "get it" then if he
doesn't jump down his throat.

I am not sure any of us have enough of a track record with Callahan to know
whether he is or is not the answer.

Gerald
