Hello Husker Fans,

RW> Am I the only one, or does anyone else see a parallel between Beck

RW> readily cheer, and welcome him to Lincoln.

Obviously there's a similarity but you're VASTLY over simplifying it.

Beck = unproven guy who didn't practice at all during spring and came
out low on the depth chart and he wasn't going to start this year
anyway.

Keller = Proven guy against the best talent in the country, was NAMED
the starter by his head coach who reversed his decision a few days
later.  Midway through the season, this guy was on a few heisman watch
lists!  BIGTIME difference.  Kellar had actually won the job, and his
coach, in one of the seemingly more immature moves I've ever seen a
coach do, let a small group of players decide who would be the
starting quarterback.

I honestly don't know how the ASU coach can garner any respect from
his players now.  Can you imagine Osborne changing his starter that he
JUST named a few days ago a week or two before football starts?

I could see him changing his mind after a few games, but before
they've even played a snap?  Especially just because a few players
told him to!

There is a little bit in common with Beck, a VERY little.
