[Husker] could be worse

So Frank got a DUI.  It could have been worse.  A lot people in high profile
positions get into trouble in their cars.  With regard to being caught in
compromising positions, Frank could have had

1. a Hugh Grant incident;
2. a Billy Joel moment;
3. a Paris Hilton, Stavros Niarchos incident, in which the LAPD allowed them to
drive away drunk;
4. a drunken road rage incident like Ernesto Diaz;
5. a Jack Nicholson moment where he beat on other cars with a golf club; or
6. a non-auto related incident like Larry Eustachy.

I suppose it says something about Frank's character that he was found in a
parked car, didn't hit anyone, and had no other issues.  This is spin, no
doubt, but it's also intended to put in perspective the attention and pressure
that coaches are under to be clean.  There's inevitably more to the story than
the AP blurb includes.

It could also be said that if he wasn't watched so closely by NU fans, it may
not have been such a story.  Really, it's the University of Ohio's issue, and
has nothing whatsoever to do with the future of the Husker program.
