[personal] [Husker] The only good thing

Who 'celebrates' Frank Solich's firing? I haven't seen or read too much
of that, but maybe being way over here on the East Coast I'm out of the
loop.

And am I in a minority of folks who believed it was time for a change in
2003 but felt the firing was botched? Does thinking a change was in
order mean I hated Frank Solich?

It seems like people (myself included) who felt a change was needed are
somehow lumped in with supporting everything else that has happened
since 2003. I'm not quite sure I understand that logic.

Lastly, how was the firing of Bill Jennings handled?

(That last part was sarcasm)
