The absent-minded ex-law professor

University of Nebraska Chancellor Harvey Perlman, when asked who's running the athletic department, now that he's canned Steve Pederson:

"I don't know. I hope someone is."

An endearing -- and funny -- response, but not exactly one that inspires confidence. You know?

Perlman said he has, in the past, conferred with former Husker coach Tom Osborne, but denied having offered him the interim-AD job. Nor did he betray any intention to offer T.O. the job.

Well, he ought to. Quick. The ship is sinking, and somebody has to start bailing, like, yesterday.

And if KPTM is wrong on their big "scoop," which made it to Drudge -- "NEBRASKA LASHES OUT AT HELL A.D.!" -- that'll be the last time I put any credence in anything coming from the Island of Misfit News People.
