[Husker] Tunnel Walk Follow Up

[Kaufsss at aol.com]

Yeah - I kind of agree - can't we wait to criticize until we at least have  
something to criticize?  If it is the song on the youtube link - that  wasn't 
horribly 'hiphopish' and kind of reminds me of the commercial on tv where  
50cent plays with the National symphony orchestra after drinking vitamin  water.  
I have to admit though, I like the current tunnel walk, but I think  the team 
should drive that - and by team I mean the players.  Remember how  I think 
Oregon lets the players decide which combination of the god ugly  uniforms they 
wear?  Didn't the NE players in the past vote to wear the  Black pants white 
shirt to a bowl game?  I suspect with the age  and makeup of the team - there 
would not be alot of call for a country or  easy listening theme to the tunnel 
walk! Although with all the NE walk ons,  you never know!  ( Just to let 
everyone know - that was a joke as to how  the whole country sees Nebraska - I do 
know that all those kids from the state  probably don't listen to country or 
easy listening, as I understand all the guys  on the team from big cities don't 
just like rap)

Ummm...have any of you heard the new Tunnel Walk yet? Rush to  judgment?
Also, there is no rapping....just a hip/hop beat. 
Bluehairs  unite against change!!!!!

Greetings Once Again:

Earlier I  commented on the tunnel walk music... to which this reply  was
made:

"A big part of me feels like this is just another example  of criticism of
Pederson and the Nebraska Athletic Department for the sake  of criticism. "

I am going to say right now I don't care if the AD is  Bill Byrne, Bob
Devaney or Tom Osborne I would have made the exact same  statement.....my
concern with hip hop music (and this seems to be  documented by others) is
that it is a type of music and culture that  promotes violence against law
enforcement, women and others. 

Since  the reply to my comment was made that "this is just another example  of
criticism of Pederson......", I will say this and I may be entirely  wrong
but somehow I don't think I am and that is that I highly doubt that  Tom
Osborne would approve of this type of music (hip hop) for an intro to  bring
the team onto the field. 

It's getting pretty bad when people  attempt to twist the words (that were
never implied) of another and make  the statement into something it never was
intended to be. Following this  message list over the past few years has been
frustrating and it is  instances like this that make it so, and push me
closer and closer to  unsubscribing.
