@#$!*% football game. . . .

Two things about college football:

* If the LSU defense that showed up in Lexington, Ky., yesterday afternoon were a condom, the whole world would be HIV-positive. I'm just sayin'.

* Fire Nebraska Coach Bill Callahan and Athletic Director Steve Pederson. Now. They've killed the last of the football tradition Bob Devaney and Tom Osborne spent 35 years building.

Who, after all, would have thought they'd ever see Nebraska fans with paper bags over their heads in Memorial Stadium?

And, frankly, the only way to even start rebuilding what's been trashed is to draft Osborne (PBUH) as Nebraska athletic director.

As an LSU alumnus, I'm comforted that there's plenty of hope for my Tigers. They still have a great coach in Les Miles, and they still have a shot at the national championship if they win out.

Poor Nebraska fans (in whose ranks I also reside) have no such hope. None.

Here in the Cornhusker State, the only faint, flickering, tenuous glimmer of hope left depends wholly upon firing Callahan and Pederson. Now. And then finding someone you'd trust to find -- and hire -- a good head football coach.

Like T.O.
