The gift that keeps on giving?

It's hard to say for sure what Husker fans will be getting under the tree on the 25th, but Coach Callahan has already sent part of their gifts. Yup, there's a big box of "Sorry" for each and every crimson and cream stocking.

While it would be nice to think that the Yule spirit had gotten into coach, it seems that this giving attitude was inspired more by the Oklahoma. At least, that's my interpretation of this article:

Callahan apologizes for coaching job against Sooners

I appreciate that Callahan (an outsider to the Husker family) understands the importance of the OU/NU rivalry, there are better ways to show that you value the importance of a historic conflict. The struggle, though, is that Coach has been second guessed ever since he arrived to Lincoln; none more publicly than after the USC game.

Hopefully things will turn around. It would be a shame to point out that the coach that was fired (Solich) has turned around Ohio University, and is taking their identical 9-4 record to a bowl game; or that the interim coach after Solich (Pelini) is going to a BCS game with LSU.

I just hope that we don't hear more of these types of things, especially if they sound like they were created here.
