Not to step into Bryan's territory or anything, but ...
I was watching the "news" last night. The top story: the hiring of new interim AD at UNL, Tom Osborne, or as people from other states say, "Osbourne". Apparently, he was with Black Sabbath for a while.
Anyway, WOWT pointed out that you can leave comments on their website and provided a sampling. Wow. It's worse than I ever imagined. I'm a college football fan, and particularly of the Huskers. The stuff Bryan and Munson have said lately seems possible, but more of an exaggeration - that is until I took a look at what these people are saying. The complete article is here. But I selected a sampling (below a ways) to give you an idea of what I saw. I'm not sure why people are actually "thanking the creator of the universe" for this. I want to see the way it turns after Nebraska (they, not we) loses the next 3 or 4. Those comments will be very entertaining. We truly will "restore the tradition". Why, I don't remember bashing Osborne (Osbourne) for at least 10 years (except when he was running for Governer). Those were the days. Osborne bashing. It's been too long. It will be like seeing an old friend. Just wait. It will happen.
First it will be "Well he doesn't call the plays, That's Callahan."
Then it will be "Why doesn't he just fire Callahan?"
Then the inevitable, "Fuckin' Osborne! Why didn't you just stay gone you outdated piece of shit!!"
Awesome!
Osborne knows this though. He's probably got bets with Callahan and Pederson as to how long it will take us to respectfully ask for his head. Good times. Anyway, here's the sampling:

Tom is a great choice and with Dave Rimmington as the AAD we will be good for several years. The glory days for our University will return soon.

Maybe now they can see if Solich will come back. We where doing better when he was coach. Also, we need to get rid of the new music for the tunnel walk and start using the old one again. the new one stinks. A concerned husker fan

instead of restore order, we should be shouting "Restore Tradition!!! Way to go Perlman for getting it right this time! Thanks Tom for accepting the challenge! Our sons of Nebraska will once again get to live the dream of playing for the HUSKERS and feel the PRIDE that goes with the dream!!

I remember when I was a little kid and NU lost a game,I was so disapointed,but my parents asured me,when I woke up the next day,the sun would still come up. Well after the OSU debacle the sun was nowhere to be found..then,like it was waiting for the right time,the sun came out here in the Omaha area atound 3:00 pm..Ironic maybe,fitting ABSOLUTELY! Mom and Dad..you were right,as usual!

I was hoping and praying yesterday already that this would happen. This is a great thing. He understands the tradition here at Nebraska and sill strive to get it back!!!!!!!!

Dear Nancy O, Please allow Tom to come out and play. If there is anything we fans can do for you...just say the word. Whatever you want!
Note: Nancy is Tom Osborne's wife. She's probably thinking "Yeah - how about a nice glass of 'shut the hell up'?"

Nah, those people aren't kooks.
here's one we had in the email at our deluxe apartment in the sky. You know, the one you can see into.
"What do Beavis and Butt-Head, Laurel and Hardy, and Callahan and Cosgrove have in common? They all don't have a clue how to coach a college football team.
Steve H"
Sweet. This one actually makes sense, though I'm questioning why the guy threw Beavis under the bus. He was clearly Igor to Butt-Head's Dr. Frankenstein.
But this all goes back to being a fan. I'm all for being a passionate fan. Just not a total whacko with a skewed view of reality.
this is 100% unedited. Good luck to you.
How come they are leting Pedersen walk away with all that money. He ruint the Big Red!! He should oughta be arested and he should oughta have to pay us money back not take no money with him!! I think he is ALKAYDER looking to!Don't they know nohtin about nothin in that place? We need that money to get back them gooder recrutes that Dr. Tom will need to get us back on the rite track! And how come Calahan and Cosgrove are still around/ They should oughta be fired to! But this is a step in the rite way! Let's make Dr. Tom coach, AD, AND Presdient of UNL or whatever that they call that Perlman clown! How can we trust anyone name Harvey anyways? Dr Tom was made King of Aksarben this week. Hes got a crown and evereything and he should oughta wear it to the games so them other coaches and teams will know what we know...that he is the gratest man on earth and we are goin to start bringing champonship trofies back to Nebraska pronto! And that nifty get up will intimadate them other people to! So things are looking up!! Now I hear Perlman say they are taking aplicashuns for the AD job if Dr. Tom don't want it. That's fine as long TO is runing the show...BUT ITS GOTTA BE SOMEBODY WHAT IS FROM NEBRAKSA!!! A borned and raysed Husker fan...like me..I think I could do a good job. If you want my rezemay, I'll send it. GO BIG RED and GOD BLESS AMERICA AND PRESIDENT BUSH!! Ray'Husker Bob" Kripes, Lincoln,
Thats exactly why I started hating the Huskers, and he is one of the brighter fans! The last few years have been a lot of fun for us Husker haters, but its actually gotten to the point that its just too easy and no fun anymore. This little bit of false hope is just what I was looking for. Bring it on.
Uh. well put Ray. I agree with 60% of 100% of what he said. I'm not believing he's serious though. He steps out of character a couple of times in the letter. The funny thing is, he's not far off from some of the serious letters. Thanks Bryan. This is why you don't step into another person's territory.
You're right, he's not serious. But this is the kind of stuff we get EVERY DAY.
But Ray has nothing on the crazy UNO lady, who demands her Mavericks be treated to the cover on Sunday. Every Sunday. Uh, no. No no no.
Awesome! The bad thing is that there will soon be others saying the same thing. Or the dreaded "I bet the Mavs could beat the Huskers." - Which right now ... who knows?
My new bumper sticker:
It will be a great day when UNO gets all the money they need and the Huskers have to hold a bake sale to buy a coach.
I don't think you'll be hearing too much from Ray anymore. I guess he just took some writing gig for an online magazine.
Shim - Do you also hate baby Jesus because of his fans? Tsk, Tsk.
No, but I do hate the Braves because of Jane Fonda and Ted Turner and the whole tommahawk chop thing, please try to keep it real cube.
