LandThieves BS Translator

Today we here at LandThieves are starting a new feature called the BS Translator. We start with a couple of examples from the University of Nebraska at Lincoln.

Nebraska chancellor Harvey Perlman, October 15
What he said: "We are, of course, disappointed about the progress in our football program. Steve has done many positive things for Husker athletics during his tenure, but I think only new leadership can objectively assess the state of our program and make the decisions necessary to move us forward."

What he meant: "About the only thing Steve did right was polish the statue of Bob Devaney properly. Steve Pederson would not fire Bill Callahan. So we will. After a couple more games."

Nebraska AD Bill Pederson, November 03, 2003
What he said "I refuse to let the program gravitate into mediocrity.We won't surrender the Big 12 to Oklahoma and Texas."
What he meant "We surrender the Big 12 to Kansas. They can surrender it to Texas and Oklahoma if they wish."
