[Husker] Time's Up, Bill

Not to pile on, but... I'll pile on.

We're all frustrated fans right now.  There's really no reason to be rude to
each other. 

It's been years since I've been back to Nebraska, but... I guess I just
didn't think that Nebraska fans had that kind of venom in them.  I thought
that was part of what made us different and unique and great.  It causes me
to question whether Bob is really a Nebraska fan, or more likely, that I
just have a fairy tale view of what Nebraska fans are.

I don't know if Mike Nolan removes bad apples and actively 'polices' the
list.  I guess this is what happens in a society without police when things
start to go bad.  True colors show.  Civility is lost. People vandalize what
others appreciate. 

But if we can talk about firing coaches and booing players, maybe we can
consider dismissing some posters for poor performance?

GBR,
~m

BTW, thanks Mike.
