[Husker] Shatel: Pelini Making Calls to NFL for Watson

Tue Feb 8 21:49:30 CST 2011

You're probably right.  I could be off on this.  Pelini and the local media
may be good, I just get the feeling they are not.  Not sure what you mean
about the Pelini looking better and fans and commentators looking foolish.
How Pelini looks all comes down to wins, and that's what we all want
ultimately.
