[Husker] Purify comments

[Mike and Kel]

I would have hoped that he would appreciate that "90,000" fans were still there supporting the team after a 5-7 season and it must be because they cared about more than winning. Also that they were still there supporting him in spite of some past mistakes.

I hope a new emphasis on in-state recruits ( hopefully some of them as team leaders) will change that overall attitude.

Good luck to Purify. I wish he had learned more while he was here.

Mike
