[Husker] Kind of sad.....

[Gary Doyle]

I think we're looking at this all wrong.  What a great fundraiser this could be 
for the University.  Pay $10 for a chance to call the first offensive play of 
the game.  It would be bigger than the Mega Millions lottery.

Better yet, everyone who pays $10 gets to call a play.  The school makes money 
and no longer needs to pay the salary of an offensive coordinator.

Every one is entitled to their opinion but mine is that this is a
silly issue. The kid got a great view of the game and I'm not sure I'd
throw Weiss out there as a college coach to emulate.
