[Husker] could be worse

[kaufsss at aol.com]

 To say it was something about Franks character is repulsive.  The car was found in drive going the wrong way on a one way street with him slumped over the wheel.  I think this is about as bad as it could get.  It was only luck that he lives in an unpopulated area.  But - with that said... my 17 year old son was killed by a drunk driver, a guy had a few drinks after work plowed into him and the driver wasn't even hurt.  My son Kris was a huge Husker fan - his nickname down here in Texas was Nebraska.  He attended two Husker camps under and said he met Solich.  After Kris's death, we got a very nice letter from the athletic department (must have somehow seen his love for Nebraska in newspaper stories) and I always held the staff in highest regards.  I believe we all make mistakes, and hopefully Solich can use this to teach and he will become a spokesperson to bring awareness of the problem.

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.
