[Husker] A Supreme effort

[Mike and Kel]

Give me a break. No-one is talking about hating anyone... much less becoming ritualistic cannibalistic acid whatevers. What the heck is that all about. 

This is a football team. Coaches gat paid alot of money to coach them. They realize that they must win most games to keep this job. The fact that their chosen profession is so tentative is part of the reason that they get lots of money and long contracts. Lets see... my contract extension date is ummm tomorrow.

Bill Callahan is a great guy. He will still be a great guy and possibly great coach somewhere else. He's not going to go home and slip into total depression if he loses this job. He worked for Al Davis for pete's sake.

Caution... the following may cause some of you GREAT DISDAIN! The Husker Fans are the greatest fans for alot of reasons ( that some of you prefer to ignore ) even if some of them want new coaches. It's FOOTBALL!

Anybody want to talk about our chances at KU. Personally I believe with the fire I saw yesterday we can win out.

Mike
