Best and Worst Moments of the Callahan Era

last season.

My favorite being the one where Taylor walked away from center looking like he's calling timeout then the ball was direct snapped to the back for a first down.

Of course, Purify's TD pass didn't suck either.

...when I heard that Husker Mike was going to be contributing here.  Wasn't one blog enough for him to bestow his insight unto us?

I can't wait for this next month to pass, so I can stop hearing about this sort of thing....I mean, I personally think it's sort of a reach when two of the "worst" moments of the Callahan era occurred during Husker victories.  I'd suppose that the reason for this is that those wins weren't achieved via the patented Nebraska Way™...but I don't know.  But I guess it sure was terrible watching NU beat Kstate on the home turf in '05.  It sure was a drag watching our Huskers beat Bill Snyder's final team in the stadium where the wildcats had beaten us by 4 TD's the previous time we met them on Tom Osborne field!  I don't know what I was doing jumping up and down so giddily after Congdon's kick sailed through the uprights that day--stupid me, I should have been bemoaning one of the "worst moments of the Callahan era"!  (And we seem to have ironically forgotten all about Cally's decision to burn Harrison Beck's redshirt that same afternoon.  I remember vividly reading in the paper on the way back home the next day how much of an idiot Callahan was for that and how it was just about the end of the world...but I guess that must've been "worst moment #6".)  But this all begs the question: when a coach runs off the two freshmen heroes of the "second worst event of his NU career"...is that a good or bad thing?!  This can all become so confusing at times--thankfully we have people like Husker Mike to dictate and define the ever-evolving nature of the Nebraska Way™...so simpletons like myself will always be reminded of how terrible the events that we once celebrated truly were.  

But all sarcasm aside, it looks like Mike needs some new material.  And with a new season's worth of games just about to begin, I'm sure the endless nitpicking of Husker wins will soon commence as well.

My favorite moment

My least favorite moment

I'd also add the fumbled interception against Texas Tech two years ago and Terrence's fumbled first-down against Texas last year to the worst moments list.  Those were straight knees-to-the-groin.
