Hey guys,
I've lurked here for a few years to keep up on CU news (and to get a few laughs about the Husker threads) but I thought now would be a good time to actually contribute something. What I see you all going through right now looks painfully familiar. Most Husker fans felt the same thing two years ago, and I think most would sympathize. I'm not going to lie and say that I hope you guys win them all but it does suck to see a proud program getting kicked around with little hope in sight.
Anyways, the upside here is that once Hawkins is gone (which looks like it will be a done deal . . . if not this year then next?) and you guys get a good coach . . . the turnaround doesn't necessarily have to take a long time. I don't know if Pelini will ever get us back to where we were but I am certain he will take us further than Billy C ever would. There's no reason to think CU can't make a similar turnaround.
Anyways, I hope you guys don't have to suffer through this for too long. Good luck against Wyoming.

(Also . . . if you guys do end up with a new coach I hope it is Turner Gill. The man is a good coach . . . and more importantly a GREAT man. I think the CU/NU rivalry could become something much bigger and more respectful with him righting your ship.)
