Letter, 9/10: Loud in stadium - Lincoln Journal Star

We are senior citizens and have enjoyed Big Red football ever since Bob Devaney came in 1962 -- 334 football games.

We think the new stadium sound system is great; however, it was so loud we could hardly talk to each other. People could probably hear it in Crete!

Come on. Turn it down halfway, and by the way it would be nice to have some wonderful music instead of all this hip-hop hogwash ... the kind that Dr. Tom Osborne could enjoy.

And this, kind people, is why we have Bo. Yeah, I wanted Bo here too...but they wanted him because he reminded them of a 'Young Bob Devaney."

Sigh, blue hairs.

As I get older every year, I discover that there's three kinds of blue hairs:

1. Those who get out of the way of progress.
2. Those who fight change.
3. Those that are dead.

Well, only the 3rd type is gaining adherents on a consistent basis.

Pelini, asked about recruiting during his weekly press conference, reiterated his preference for a rule change that would allow for schools to pay for parents to travel for official visits, helping recruits to make decisions. The rule change would also benefit Nebraska, which is land-locked somewhat from the historical recruiting hotbeds.

"I look at it from a parent standpoint. If a 17, 18-year old kid, is getting ready to make a life-changing decision, his parents should be with him," Pelini said. "Because most kids, there are a small percentage of kids who are ready to weed out and make their decisions for the right reasons, but you have a large majority of kids who aren’t ready to make that decision because they don’t know what’s important yet. They should have their parents with them. They should have their parents with them to say, ‘it’s not about the uniforms here, bud.’

"This is a 40-year decision. These are the things that are important. I think sometimes that gets lost. I think it’s real important that if a kid wants to get on a plane and go take a look at a school, his parents should be sitting next to him when he gets on that plane."

Cont'd ...
