[Husker] Bandwagon???

[Mike Jaixen]

Blaming Tom Osborne for the football program's
problems is completely inane.

As for the performance of the other sports, we should
view those sports in light of Pederson's contributions
to those sports.  Volleyball, baseball, softball, and
soccer are outstanding programs, and were outstanding
programs the day that Steve Pederson was hired.  I'm
not sure I see any impact by Pederson on those
programs.  At best, you could say that he has been a
good caretaker of those programs.
