I'll tell you what:  I'M certainly embarrassed by Callahan's actions.  
I certainly wish they'd never happened.  It just plain looks and  
feels bad.  Very Un-Nebraska-like.

Yet, that official DID get overlay aggressive.  The non-holding calls  
had been accumulating ALL GAME.  I'm certainly not the most astute  
viewer of football on TV, and I saw several blatant, blatant holds.   
More like tackles by the offensive players of our defensive players.

And I simply can't believe that someone actually mentioned that  
Callahan would be "reprimanded" or have to "sit out" this Saturday.   
Jo Pa never missed any games, and I'd say he's done waaaay enough in  
his years on the sidelines to the refs to warrant a reprimand or two.
