Not much going on these days on Planet Husker, particularly if you are as
disinterested in recruiting as I am, so I came on this story.  It seems Tim
Brown, receiver on the Raidiz the year BC was head coach and they went to
the Super Bowl, says that Callahan sabotaged the game on purpose.  Threw
the game so that his buddy, John Gruden could win the game. (Tampa Bay won
48-21).  Brown says that BC changed the game plan the Friday before the
game knowing that it would be a disaster.  Brown also claims that this
upset the center on the team so much that he went out and did drugs for the
2 days before the game thereby getting suspended (I vaguely remember
this).  Here is the link:

Bill Romanowski was on ESPN radio about an hour ago, he was on that team as
well.  Says that Tim Brown is "delusional" (direct quote) and has some
serious problems of his own.  Also says the center was an unstable person
who everyone on the team knew was going to crack.

Both, however, seem to share a common opinion of BC.  Not a great guy, not
someone they would ever want to play for again.
