[Husker] Perlman gives Pederson a vote of confidence

[Kaufsss at aol.com]

I agree you can give or not give whatever, whenever you want.  I have  always 
thought we were Nebraska fans  - not Athletic director fans, or  Coach fans, 
or even player fans in college.  We are Nebraska fans.   It's "the name on the 
front of the jersey - not the back" - that we are rooting  for.  I have never 
understood the mentality that" I will punish  Nebraska  by not supporting or 
not giving" because of one person or  event  - because it is those wrestlers 
that suffer - not anyone else.   Still the school  my brothers, my Dad and I  
graduated  from.  Still the school my daughter attends and will graduate (I 
hope in  less than 5 years!!!!!).  Just my opinion - objective - of course - 
through  Husker colored glasses!.

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.
