[Husker] Unbelievable, we are kings

[JEN_SENS]

What is interesting to me is ALL of the kings have had a down period. I said 
unbelievable because many (even on this list) believe we have slipped to the 
Baron level.

HOWEVER:
If you are interested in current perspective of this team check out the link 
Bob provided. Steve Sipple has never been one considered to be on the 
Callahan bandwagon. Look at these quotes:
"If you're Pederson, you lock in Callahan because the 51-year-old head coach 
clearly has the program headed in the proverbial right direction. ...it's 
impossible to convince me that Nebraska isn't a program on the rise.

"Nebraska, athlete for athlete, is beginning to resemble Husker outfits of 
the glory days, especially the horses in this year's offensive line... 
Nebraska once again has linemen that intimidate."

"This is about progress. And if you can't see progress at NU at this moment, 
you're not paying attention."

"[Callahan's] demeanor at the moment is one of quiet confidence. I'm 
guessing his best coaching days are ahead."

"Indeed, the team's veteran players seem upbeat, confident and determined, 
and the newcomers seem to be as impressive as humans as they are athletes.

"The program's renewed energy and growing sense of stability are palpable."



I trust all on the list agree to hope Sipple's opinions are all correct
