The Next Husker Controversy
- Thread starter StPaulHusker
- Start date
Pushed in by people above the Chancellor's head. If you'll recall, Perlman didn't even want to fire Pederson and practically said as much in his statements at the time.
Later, TO was effectively pushed out by the Chancellor, which is why the Chancellor kept people in the dark about choosing a replacement for TO (conducting a unilateral search - compare that to the 25+ people involved in the Chancellor search).
I think it was Mavric who posted a succinct timeline showing how the events went down and how TO was put in the position of needing to announce his retirement. Maybe he'll post it again.

In case anyone was confused whether or not its the off season, here's your sign.

Nothing? I wouldn't call it nothing.... the reasoning isn't that plausible.
Does anyone have a list of the S&C tests that are kept as records? Again, how does one game a vertical leap or broad jump? Were there records set during the past 10 years that define human ability and therefore call into question the validity of the record? I doubt it.
What testing procedures and equipment are different today than they were two years ago? If they are different than 2 years ago, are they also different than 20 years ago? If so, and that's the reason for pulling down the records set during Epley's absence, then why wouldn't all records prior to 2014 be pulled?
I really don't care one way or the other, but a tiny amount of critical analysis demonstrates that the AD made an odd move and is now in damage control mode.
Ultimately, they are making the right decision by restoring the numbers.

What's weird is, the players "bitching" about it should have known about it, especially the guys on the team right now. Which makes me wonder if they're not just having a laugh at us over this because... offseason.

Hard to imagine people wasting their time getting so fired up about such a non-issue. Husker Nation would be better served if those 'fans' would spend the offseason posting snarky tweets about shows like Teen Mom or engaged in Facebook arguments over the latest episode of General Hospital. People looking for reasons to be pissed will find something to complain about.

Which all makes sense. What I don't understand is why they're getting put back up, other than people and players are clearly unhappy about it. But like you said it could just be them messin with people.No. Boyd Epley told us back in December that he'd be doing this, and explained his reasons for it.What's weird is, the players "bitching" about it should have known about it, especially the guys on the team right now.
