Pardon my ignorance on Sean Callahan, but why does he get so offended by the rest of the Nebraska media? Just today, he locked 2 threads on RSS praising Tim Verghese for his new job at Hurrdat. He locks any thread that talks about any site besides HuskerOnline. He gets offended when people say basic criticisms about him.
And I'll say this: what is up with Nebraska media? Why are there still so many terrible reporters employed while our few good ones get canned or leave for greener pastures? Look at 247. When was the last time BC or Bruntz had a scoop about anything? Look at Brian Munson at HuskerOnline. No scoops and no basic insight on anything relevant to Nebraska recruiting. Look at the clowns on 1620 like Bishop and Peterson and Happer and Schafer. How do all these people have jobs? Now I understand they are probably making low 5 figures, at best 60-70k. But still. And yet the few good reporters like Tim Verghese or Steve Marik come and go like the wind.
We don't even have good journalists anymore. People ran them out of town. Shatel is still hanging on barely. Sipple is okay but then you'll listen to one of his many shows and he'll say the dumbest thing you've ever heard. McKewon has went down hill for years. Etc. Pardon my rant, but this is getting ridiculous. I understand the program is declining. But that doesn't mean the media has to be this bad too. I'll hang up and listen to your response.
