[Husker] Rumors from Lincoln

[jonlists at cbsol.com]

So when they're all fired or resigned or bought out next week does that 
mean we can all refer to Osborne as 'lying Tom' since he said there 
wounldn't be any staff changes during the season? Or do we accept this as 
a form of doublespeak that he learned from his days in Washington? 

And where the hell is Lassie in all of this? 

http://www.cstv.com/sports/m-footbl/stories/101707abg.html --> Osborne 
promises "no quick fix". 

http://www.ketv.com/bigredzone/14353545/detail.html ---> "Tom Osborne has 
been named the interim athletic director for the University of 
Nebraska-Lincoln and he said on Tuesday that he won't make any football 
staffing changes during the season."

Okay, seriously. Osborne's is known for his honesty and integrity. When he 
stands up and says "No football staffing changes during the season" and 
then they happen, doesn't he look like a fool? Like a guy who can't be 
trusted? 

Charlie McBride as interim head coach. This is coming from a cable guy, 
isn't it?
