I like it. Healing is good. That decision split the fan base pretty good IMHO.

Exactly! It was a tough thing to be the guy who followed Tom Osborne and the dynasty of 90s Husker football. Especially since the Huskers fell back to earth on his watch. Let bygones be bygones I say.

I was a stupid early twenty something that was more interested in beer than football when Solich was here. And I know I made some dumb comments watching games during that time. I almost feel like there should be a "receiving line" where people like me can walk through, shake his hand, and say "my bad...."

Same, but that is what being a fan is...we freak out from one play to the next and we are usually pounding back beers and shots while doing it.

Was Solich a "great" head coach? No, he wasn't. Did he do some personal things that he probably regrets, sure. His biggest fault was that he followed a legend at Nebraska, and the team was coming off a historic stretch in college football.
I made some stupid comments about him as a dumb guy in my early to mid 20s, but I am very thankful for all of his years as an assistant coach at NU, and even his tenure as head coach. Not many people would have been successful following Osborne.

It was great! I loved it!
I think that year I was a prisoner...with my phone number as my inmate number!
