I read this earlier and laughed. You could copy and paste the same article for many power programs. Author is probably some soccer wanker mad because a real sport is coming to his country. Rest easy little guy, you’ll be back to watching your favorite Shamrock Rovers F.C. player fake injuries in just 10 more days.
American football in Ireland, is stupid, especially collegiately. It’s not the NFL, where there are only 32 teams. It’s dumb, and means nothing to the people who live there. Most probably don’t even know where Nebraska is, just like most of us don’t know where their various cities are. It’s funny actually.
Fixed it for you.
Obviously, this writer has no background in sports journalism. He sounds like Eddie Murphy in Coming to America in describing Nebraska football to the Irish folks. I give him the same answer, “stay off the drugs”. He doesn’t bag on Northwestern, because of their background in journalism and probably favors them in some way.
Unfortunately this is what they call journalism nowadays.
There is still a lot of good journalism unfortunately there are others who have agendas and the internet is the perfect place to push it
I understand. And I feel like I may have struck a nerve talking about journalists in the past. I just call's em' as I see's em'. And the way I see's em' is getting worse and worse.
Cheers Brother
Back at ya
A completely unnecessary article full of hand-picked half-truths. Unfortunately, it appears that media types are the same in other countries as well. Sign of the times, which is really sad.
I fully expect the Irish people to welcome Nebraska football upon its arrival.

This guy seems to have an axe to grind with Nebraska which seems odd. I always find it funny when people bring up LP playing against Florida. We beat them 62-24, if LP didn't play his carries would've gone to Ahman and the score is probably pretty close to the same......

I am sure many of you read this, I never respond to journalist but took a moment to write to him. I am sure many of you could convey what I was trying to much better than I did.
To: Mr. Hannigan,
Obviously, you completed some amount of research to write this article. It appears you chose to focus on any blemishes you could find. Avoiding the research that you inevitably would have found that Nebraska is a great university with great people associated with it. I am not sure why you are bent on College football or specifically Nebraska’s brand of it. However, if you have ever been to Lincoln on a game day or met the coaches or the coach that put Lawrence Phillips back in the game in the national title game you would find a much different story.
Putting players in the game after an infraction, especially in the case of LP as we called him during his time at Nebraska, was an act of sympathy, he was heading to the draft and this game NFL scouts and the national media something to talk about besides this incidence in Lincoln. He was an extremely trouble youth that looked to the coach as a father figure. Tom Osborne was trying to give him a second chance at football and life.
The fans of the Nebraska program are known throughout college football history to be those of the best that there is. Welcoming in opposing fans and players. Hosting them at their homes and parties. Clapping for the players of the other teams.
I get it in the era of clickbait, you wrote the article that would drive the largest number of clicks. I could go through each premise in your article and pick them apart, however, I hope you would consider in the future a new career path as you are clearly not a happy man in this one. This can be one of very few reasons that you would write in this manner. There are many Hannigans that live in Lincoln and share many of the same values that most Nebraskans do. Work hard, be honest, treat your neighbors well. I guess that was lost with you.
I can't wait to see what he'd say about Miami, if they ever go across the pond to play.
