[Husker] Perlman gives Pederson a vote of confidence

[andy at knipp.com]

I certainly do not think he deserves any accolades for his handling of 
the FB team. 

Yes that is my opinion. Guess what, opinions are not objective. They 
are biased. Mine are, so are yours.

This thread was started because HP said what  a great job he is doing. 
I beg to differ. The beauty of NU is that athletics are funded with 
donations and receipts, not tax $ or student fees. Thus you are free to 
vote with your wallet. If you think SP is doing a fine job, write a 
check, not an email. If not, let the people who call asking for money 
know your opinion (trust me if you have donated much at all, then they 
will call). My answer is the, I refuse to give $ until SP is gone. The 
FB could care less about a couple hundred dollars, but my donations 
went to the Wrestling team, who needs every penny they can get. I still 
refuse to subsidize what is, in my opinion, incompetence.

>So, is 'ruining NU football' now considered an accomplishment? Is 
this an objective opinion? I am interested to know why some folks on 
this list jump at the chance to slip in snide remarks like this 
everytime the AD's name comes up. Isn't the word 'accomplishment' 
usually a positive connotation? I'm obviously no literary expert, but I 
don't get the sarcasm here. It sounds like you may be implying that the 
AD has ruined the football program, or more specifically, things have 
been altered from where they used to be. Did you really think, when you 
were a kid attending NU games (or watching them) that Nebraska would be 
10-2 for the next 700 years? Or that the team would have the same 300 
employees all still here into their 90's?

>I don't know the AD personally, in fact from every indication it 
sounds like he is a real tool, but why is it that people can't get over 
the changes being made in the football program? It reminds me of 
children on the playground having temper tantrums because the bully 
took their ball and jacks away from them. Find a new ball, get some new 
jacks, and keep playing, or, lament the old ball and jacks that the 
bully took and look like a fool well into adulthood. To me, the choice 
is quite simple, and although things in Lincoln could clearly have gone 
better in the last several years, how about focusing on the present and 
future?

maybe we will all end up back in 1992 again.
