A good article from the Omaha paper

Of course people outside ISU want McCarney to stay. It means an easy win for them.

The program hasn't been driven into the ground - yet. Even if he loses out, the program's not in the ground. But it is quickly going there.

If we lose out, we'll have gone 8-27 in our last 35 conference games (my stat earlier was off by a game). That's a .228 winning percentage. That's less than 2 conference wins per year. That's not a grounded program?

Anyone who rips on our fans- please notice that OSU only had barely more than 40,000 for their game against NU! They have their best team in years and adding on to their facilities, and still we had about 15,000 more than them against NU.

That was because their ticket prices are almost highest in Big 12.

Worse than Baylor?

He probably is gone if he wins one more or less.

Twelve.

By the way, it usually is Steve Pivotar who writes about Clones in Omaha. Tom usually focuses on Redville.

True enough, but Tom seems to write the articles that dig at my sole. Sometimes he takes shots directly at us and other times he rips on us in a roundabout way in he Husker articles.
