Morning Coffee

The Wizard of Odds has an amusing take on what's happening between Iowa and Iowa State with regards to tickets to the annual Iowa-Iowa State rivalry. Seems that both sides are trying their best to suck the fun out of a pretty good rivalry.

Anyone else think Iowa State is getting a little too uppity for their own good? Or are they headed in the right direction?

Last night, I went on the Blog Talk Radio show Mile High Report (about the Denver Bronces) as a guest. If you haven't seen Blog Talk Radio, it's kind of interesting - somewhat like podcasting, but somewhat more like Radio. Host John Bena and I discussed Adam Carriker and Brandon Jackson as potential members of the Denver Broncos. It was a little difficult because at the time I was driving home through a blizzard, but it was also fun. I certainly don't have a radio voice, but I always have an opinion. Give it a listen and as always, feedback is welcome.

Jim Rose has started a blog over at the very pro-Callahan Big Red Board. I think Jim Rose is one of the most knowledgeable people around about Husker football. I don't care for him as the play-by-play guy for Husker football. I think his baseball stuff is pretty good - enjoying listening to the games on the Internet. If nothing else, he should be an interesting read.

Mike Huff has a torn achilles, and Chris Patrick might be off the team. Arrrrrrrrgh say I, not like a pirate, but like I just dropped a big brick on my foot!

Tom Shatel couldn't get into the athletic department because of heavy security and writes a column about it, taking shots at Steve Pederson who later says it's to protect the security of female athletes. Good? Bad? Indifferent?

The Touchdown Club publishes an article declaring:

"So if you haven't done so already, it's time to send Steve Pederson a thank you note and let him know that you can see now that he was right all along. Thank him for keeping the faith."

Good? Bad? Indifferent?

Funny

that you say SP went on the radio to say it was for the safety of female athletes. I had not heard this, but in the Thursday addition of the OWH he wrote a letter to the editor in which he states that it is for the safety of all student athletes, staff, and fans of NU. He also goes on to blame 9/11 for the changes. Sounds to me like he is paranoid. He knows he was voted the most hated man in Nebraska, he recieved a death threat (something I dont agree with doing to anyone), and he knows that half of Memorial Stadium (or more) would love to boo him right out of the state. Yeah lets blame 9/11, like suddenly Osama wants to bomb Memorial Stadium just to get at Stevie. I have made no bones about my thoughts or feelings for this man and will say it again, ITS TIME FOR HIM TO LEAVE!!!!! If this is such a concern (safety for any athlete) then why is no one else doing it? Why is it easier to get in to see the Govenor then it is to see the AD? What a joke.
