Re^2: [Husker] Two "what if" scenarios...

[Sue Smith]

I was sort of kidding about the announcement at halftime.  I guess I forgot the smiley face.  I'm going to the game, so it would be kind  cool.  But, I have a dry sense of humor.  

Did anyone see the profile on BC this morning in the OWH?  It was a fluff piece that made him out to be a good soul who is very charitable, kind to animals, and likes to keep to himself.  I'm sure that's all true but the problem with BC is that he's been a lousy coach and it's time for him to go!

 I hope the firing will take place in the morning with the announcement made at the halftime of the Creighton - Nebraska basketball game.  It would be really cool if the firing took place at the halftime of the basketball game.  TO might be too classy for that, though. 


For those who aren't in tune with the schedule of things here in Nebraska - those of you who live outside the area - the athletic department has scheduled a meeting between the AD and the football coaching staff for Saturday.  The press will be all over that, but I doubt greatly that we'll hear anything following that meeting, except for the reading of faces as they come out of the meeting.  As the AD, Dr. Tom has responsibility to all the teams and that sort of announcement, at halftime of the NU-CU basketball game, would be both classless and damaging to the bball team.  I couldn't imagine a single media person in their chairs at court side for the second half if that happened.  And Doc would be upstaged at the biggest and most important game of the preseason.  I would like to believe that won't happen. 

After the meeting on Saturday, I would expect a press conference for sometime Monday morning, or afternoon.  That's when the axe will fall, if it actually does.  The Unsportsmanlike Conduct guys are saying that a new coach would be announced no later then December 5.  I don't know where that comes from but it seems they think its a way to take back the bad taste from the last search.  As we all know, that went so well. 

Based on the headlines this morning, Shatel isn't excited by this game on Friday, but I'll be giving my DVR a good workout.  Hoping its the game worth recording.  So, why don't we all take a deep breath, enjoy some hot wings and adult beverages on Friday morning, and beat the snot out of the Buffs.  That's what makes Thanksgiving worthwhile.
