Well Bob, we had a "proven head coach" these last 4 years and it was a 
complete disaster. The only thing about that great experiment that 
surprised me is how long a lot of the "WCO guru's" to admit it was a 
mistake.  I am a lot more comfortable with the "unproven" Coach Pelini 
than I ever was with Callahan and company and I think there are a lot of 
other fans nationwide that are too.

It seems like your still wanting to stay on the Callahan band wagon.  
Its a fact, Pederson is gone, Callahan is gone, and Nebraska is a lot 
better because they are FINALLY gone!
