[Husker] Booing Coaches Kids

[Sue Smith]

So now it's Cosgrove's kid and not Pederson's.  Actually, I'm ok with this.  Let me explain.  The alleged Cosgrove's kid incident happened on a football field, the alleged Pederson's kid incident happened on the football field. Big Difference!  Football is a violent game where nasty things are said.  Players are always looking for an edge. 
   
  Does Cosgrove's kid play defense?

Well according to my sources in high school land - my students - 
Cosgrove's kid was met with derisive comments about his father when 
he took the field in his high school football game. If this is true 
and considering the atmosphere around Lincoln last week I have no 
reason to believe it is not, it is one of the worst examples of 
unsportsmanlike, and cruel behavior I have heard of.

Yeah coaches kids learn early the downside of their parent's jobs but 
it is never right to put down a kid because of something their parent 
has or hasn't done. If we Nebraskans are the greatest fans in the 
world this sort of thing would never happen.

I fully anticipate some post about how well, that is just the way 
people are and you should get used to it and I say that is a load of 
crap - just because bad behavior is common does not mean that bad 
behavior should be condoned. Being unhappy with the coaching staff 
is one thing but taking it out on the family as a whole is way beyond 
wrong.

Finally to answer the 2 questions I was asked about 100 times yesterday
Yes I did stay until the end of the game and
Yes I do plan on going to the A&M game this weekend!
