[Husker] Husker injuries...

[Steve Borer]

Good point!  Okay, I¹ll buy that it may be true of the people on the list,
but not in society in general.  I will still stand by my statement.  We love
to find fault ­ it¹s human nature.

My point about the players being 20 year old kids is that they are not
professionals ‹ they will make mistakes.  They know when they make mistakes
and hopefully they will keep trying to get better.  Sometimes we all need a
little positive reinforcement instead of negative feedback.

Just trying to place some perspective ‹  As Tug McGraw used to say -- "Ten
million years from now, when the sun burns out and the Earth is just a
frozen iceball hurtling through space, nobody's going to care whether or not
I got this guy out." (http://www.baseball-almanac.com/quotes/quomcg.shtml)

My thoughts and my thoughts alone.  Thank goodness we can share them!
