[Husker] Recruiting

[Robert Christensen]

I agree it is impressive that 28 former walk-ons have NFL experience and 
5 of the former walk-ons had a combined 43 years of NFL experience.  
What I continue to find amazing is the way the sports writers at OWH 
talked up the recruiting practices of the Callahan crew when they were 
always going for some quick fix that never quite worked.  It wasn't 
until it became obvious to everyone else that the OWH decided to call 
for a change.  It seems more apparent to me that things were not the 
doom and gloom Pederson and the OWH advertised when this thing started 
with the removal of Coach Solich.

Its great to have the Huskers back.....GBR
