[Husker] Callahan's response to Tom's comment

[jonlists at cbsol.com]

Furthermore.... this is a guy that worked in the NFL for a number of 
years, some for Al Davis. He then goes to work in college for another 
egomaniac. 

What'd he learn? Look at how he answers all his questions.....  not just 
this one. He rarely gives a straight yes or no to anything. It's a product 
of that environment, isn't it? 

Hell, I've been a consultant for nearly 20 years now. Ask me a question, 
do you think the answer is every "yes" or "no"???? :)
