>> I don't understand that sort of sentiment, as if it's some
>> sort of party.  It's certainly not "cool" to hate Bill Callahan.
>> Regardless of your opinion on Callahan's success as Husker coach

>> your signature line reflects a sad, small, juvenile attitude.

>> Those closest to Bill Callahan as Husker coach, have good things
>> to say about the type of man he is, e.g.,  [Courtney] Grixby said:
>> "The players, we trust him.  We know Coach Callahan and we know
>> the type of man that he is. There's nothing bad to say."
>> 
>> Callahan's daughter is a classmate and friend of my daughter.
>> They are a nice family.  This must be a gut-wrenching time for
>> coaches and players.
>> 
>> I suggest you think about TR Roosevelt's often quoted speech:
>> "It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the
>> strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them
>> better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena,
>> whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives
>> valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is
>> no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive
>> to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who
>> spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the
>> triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at
>> least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with
>> those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
>> 
>> You should be ashamed of yourself.

>Who is this "TR Roosevelt" you speak of?  And why is he trying to steal one of Theodore Roosevelt's most over-used quotations?  (I suggest that if you would like to learn more about Theodore Roosevelt than what you read in SkyMall, you try to read "Theodore Rex" by Edmund Morris. Careful though, it has some humor in it.)

>My attitude?  Sad - just the opposite.  Small - definitely not.  Juvenile - you bet!

>Listen, here's another quote for you:

>"Lighten up, you sour little douchebag."
