Barry Gibb of the "Brothers Gibb" or better known as the Bee Gee's once wrote a popular song titled "How do you mend a broken heart", which I believe is what all of us die in the wool cornhusker fans are facing this season. We received a slight glimmer of hope last week with the firing of Steve Pederson, who was the cancer that has brought our once proud program to it's current stay in the ICU ward. Yes this article is going to be more about the state of affairs in Lincoln rather than a prediction of what will happen this coming Saturday, when our "boys" go into Longhorn country to face the University of Texas, a team that I hear way to much about living here in the Houston area. As I reflected last week that Callahan and company were simply playing out the string in Husker Nation, and from the game Saturday, that was painfully obvious to all. First off Callahan decided, prior to the Aggie game to give the play calling responsibilities to offensive coordinator Shawn Wilson. Then spent the entire first half standing at least 20 yards or more away from him. Then without warning, taking the responsibility back in the second half, which lead to exactly ZERO points after the first half resulted in a "not so bad" 16-14 deficit. While the second half turned into a 36-14 route. The first half saw Quentin Castille pound the ball and the Huskers moving the ball, while the second half was as entertaining as a root canal, with Keller dumping the ball off to Marlon Lucky time and again to the tune of Lucky setting a Husker record of 13 catches. Also this is not the NFL where players are paid HUGE sums of money to play ball and are accountable for their play. This is college, where 90% of the players will be making their living in a couple of years in a field far removed from the football field click link for rest of article...
