New Beginning

Husker football is a religion to those living in Nebraska, but lately there has been an absence of enthusiasm in Lincoln. The team is losing, the blackshirts are no more and fans as well as alumni are calling for the firing of Head Coach Bill Callahan. On Monday the University of Nebraska fired Athletic Director Steve Pedersen, which was far too late to save the program, and replaced him with former coaching great Tom Osborne. Osborne, who won three National Championships during his tenure in Lincoln, is looking to bring back the tradition to the storied program, something that was lost when Steve Pedersen took over. Though the Huskers face the possibility of losing out the rest of the season, it is new day in the Cornhusker state. It is the best day the Big Red faithful have seen in along time.
