The Duke
All-Conference
The audio is real, and it is just sad...very sad.
Was Bo wrong in what he said & how he said it? Yes, but looking back on that time period I can also understand why he was upset. The hatchet-job column that Dirk Chatelain wrote that week had many of us angry, myself included. I said at the time that I thought it was very poor journalism on his part. Does that make Bo's reaction acceptable? Absolutely not.
It is clear whoever leaked this audio waited until the right moment, and is only using it as smear job & character assassination on Bo. Whether it is someone inside the Athletic Department, someone in the media, or just a simple fan, the fact of the matter is this kind of action in my opinion is pure trash, and I have no respect for this type of human being.
The biggest question now is: What does Eichorst do?
In my opinion he, along with Perlman have a one-on-one meeting with Pelini, and then Bo will have to apologize for his comments at a press conference at the earliest convenience. I don't think he will be fired because this happened several years ago, and it did not happen on Eichorst's watch. However, Bo is definitely now on the clock. It's prove it time. Any other antics or outbursts in the future similar to this audio recorded event will most certainly be the end of his tenure at Nebraska.
I hope it isn't...I want Bo to have a long successful career at Nebraska. I still think what he did for little Jack Hoffman this spring, and it brings a smile to my face & I get a lump in my throat. That wasn't a publicity stunt...it was the other side of Bo that we hardly get to see. Deep down I think he is a good man...a man with temper, but still a good man.
Now is not the time time to talk about boycotting future games to cost us the sell-out streak...THAT SOLVES NOTHING!
This is a dark week for Nebraska fans, but "through all kinds of weather we'll all stick to together for dear ol'e Nebraska-U!" If we really are the greatest fans in college football, then our actions need to start reflecting what we say, and what we stand for...and that includes Bo Pelini.
