[Husker] Kansas State Preview

[David Strong]

Of course.  Some of these are the exact same people who posted the exact same stuff when I dared to criticize Bill Callahan during the 2006 season.  For some reason, these folks get really angry and ugly if you suggest that the status quo is not just terrific.  Sure, I had serious doubts about Pelini when he was hired, all based on his own actions and words.  But I'm a fan and I rooted for him and hoped he would be great.  I still do.  Same when Callahan was hired.  I did not like the hire, but rooted for him and hoped he would be great.  But when it seemed to me that it wasn't going to work out and BC was a bust, I was attacked on a very personal level for saying so.  I'm not even close to saying that about Coach Pelini, but as a fan of the team, I am not particularly proud of him as my head coach.  Jury is still way out (with me) before I am.  
Lastly, don't try to respond to posts that are just blather, it will make you tired.  

Dave

Dave,
 
I knew exactly where this thread would go when I responded to your post stating your opinion of Bo’s sideline actions.  I responded because I wanted you to know you weren’t the only one out there who didn’t like it.  People are so predictable.  I figured some on the list would agree with us, some would disagree and be somewhat civil in their responses, and a very few would strongly object.  These few would exhaust their ability to carry on a civil debate rather quickly and turn to name calling, personal attacks, and disguised vulgarity.  Boy was I right.
 
Anyway, I’m way past tired of this thread and I wish I had stopped several posts ago.
 
Don

I agree with all of this.  And don't let the Kool-Aid crowd worry you one iota.
