>>For you and Andy to think that because there aren't financial 
Hardships involved, that somehow this must not be an emotional ordeal 
For the coaches and their families, shows a remarkably limited insight 
Into how most people feel and an astonishing lack of empathy. I was 
Going to try to explain it, but it's so obvious that I doubt further 
Explanation cannot make it clearer. 
 
 
 
     Steve, in this post of yours you are going to find me agreeing with
just about everything you say. Money doesn't make one less a human. You
still have emotions of failing, being uprooted, what affect this will have
on the wife and kids, people not wanting anything to do with you based on
what they perceive to be lack of job performance and that only, and the like
 Maybe if you have several million in the bank the financial worries aren't
there like they might in other circumstances but human emotion and
disruption of life is certainly there. 
 
 
 
>Husker fans may think of themselves as great fans, but what I see right 
Now, with people such as Dave, on the "party bus", goes far beyond 
Concern for the success of the program. In the long run, their joyous 
Hate is a cannibalistic acid that eats away at the real foundations of 
The program. It is the sort of feeding frenzy that convinced Pederson 
He could/should fire Solich. It has the feel of a modern-day lynching, 
In which the unsatisfied vent themselves in tearing someone apart 
(figuratively, because now we're so civilized). And, that the object 
Of their attack is someone of high position, makes it even more "fun". 
 
 
 
     I agree again, Steve, totally. To me is just flat wrong to hate a
person just because he can't win football games and as result want to bring
that person down. In the course of human events a football game really doesn
t mean that much. When in the past I have dared question the "fact"(?)
Husker fans are the greatest I certainly received my share of disdain. I'll
say this, IF indeed Husker fans are the greatest I never ever want to see
the worst.
