T.O.  will be here a long time... I think from 2-4 years.  I think NU is 
"THE" most succesful program for consistency in the nation,...well at least 
it was before the recent administration decided to trash every positive 
record that we had.   There is not that much rebuilding needed.  We have 
excellent recruits...fantastic facilities and fan support that rivals no 
other in the country.   If we hire the right staff the Huskers win the North 
next year.  We have a gutsy kid named Ganz  at QB.  We have a load at 
tailback in Castille...we also have a bid red "N" on our helmets that still 
opens doors to High School kid's living rooms.  Parent will want their kids 
to play for any program that is associated with Tom Osborne.  Even if he is 
an athletic director ameritas.  No more snake oil salesmen like Pederson. 
No more "I'm an offensive genius"  Callahan.  No more deception.  What you 
see is what you will get...A clean, powerful program that will always be a 
winner...every year, period.

     You certainly exude a lot of enthusiasm.  I admire that and hope a lot of
     points you make are right.  I, as most on this list know (to some I am
     constantly negative), am more of a let's see what we have here type
     person.  I still believe the one thing most people continue to miss is
     that other teams have gotten much better and caught up to where NU is. 
     In my opinion the days of the 30 years of utter dominance are over and
     not because NU has no talent or coaching.  It is because other teams are
     for real and Kansas for one is young.  They are going to be at least as
     good as they are this year next year.  NU probably never will again be
     head and shoulders above the Big 12 year after year the way OU and NU
     made the Big 8 the big two and the six dwarfs.  And, I don't think that
     necessarily has anything to do with the Callahan era.  Other teams
     getting better are out of NU's control.  I am not saying NU some years
     won't be good.  I think they will.  I think you will see some top ten
     finishes.  I also think there will be some off years.  I believe that is
     just the nature of the college football world in which we live today.
 
 
     As far as contending for the Big 12 North title in 2008 as much as I
     think coaching was a problem with our defense I also believe there was
     more wrong than coaching.  You don't endure giving up the kind of point
     totals we did this year strictly on coaching.  You put the 1995 defense
     out there with Wistrom, Tomich, and the Peter boys just to name four of
     the 11 I don't care if Cosgrove IS the coach you will not see point
     totals go up the way we did this year.
