I was just getting into my car on Wednesday evening to leave work when I looked at my phone to see that a friend of mine had texted me that Banker had been fired. With a wide-eyed look of surprise on my face, I quietly got into the driver seat of my 4Runner and began my usual ritual of checking various Nebraska message boards and Twitter for any information.
The firing of the Connecticut Yankee Mark Banker was a shock, as I thought he had done more than a serviceable and adequate job with the defense considering the lack of defensive talent he had at his disposal.
