[Husker] Let's all send Steve Pederson a thank you note!

[jonlists at cbsol.com]

What makes me mad about Pederson is the way he handles the PR. Most of it, 
poorly, largely because it's all  saccharin as far as the eye can see. 
Unfortunately, that's probably true everywhere. 

Maybe it's because he's slick, maybe it's the way he states things as if 
we're all just supposed to believe them because he said them. Like a 
politician more than anything. 

In spite of all that - if Bill Callahan wins games, Doc Sadler works out, 
and the athletic department does well, then I'm okay with the guy. 

We don't have many off-the-field incidents, if any at all. We are still 
one of the best in the nation in student athlete academics. Those are good 
things. So what if I don't like the guy personally. We're not going to see 
each other at family holidays any time.....
