Huskers honor Bo Pelini with symbolic gesture en route to Holiday Bowl
According to Austen Everson, Nebraska's assistant A.D. of football business operations, the Huskers left a front-row seat open on the team bus in honor of the former coach, who was fired on Nov. 30 following a 9-3 season.

Jeez they act like the guy died...

The fact it was empty is what matters most.

Some coaches get statues, some coaches get sharpies and empty seats. I heard Papuchis asked the empty seat questions the entire time.

Pap, the Dirty Harry of Husker coaches.

Lame

Pretty awesome gesture of you ask me. Team loved their coach.

I'm fine with it - it came from the players and not the coaches

 

[JJ Husker]

Well the important thing is that Bo wasn't in that seat.

Abused wives profess to do the same.

Ugh. Get over it Huskerboard. Old staff is gone, start of a new era. Kids will adjust.

I thought Nebraska was going to win heading into Saturday, until I heard about this yesterday afternoon. Then, I knew, there's no way they're going to win. The guy didn't die - he got fired for being abrasive and a poor coach.

I'm all for players loving their coach, and loving their team. But, at some point, you have to also you realize your career is also a lot about you. There's also a really good chance that any of these guys who go to the NFL are going to go through AT LEAST one coaching change in their career. I felt as soon as they made this about their previous head coach instead of about themselves, they sealed their fate.

Ha ha! Seems like there's more support for Bo on Huskerboard than there was six weeks ago.

I wouldn't have fired Bo if the decision was up to me. But now that we did, let's move on. It's a new era in Nebraska football. The Riley era.

Finally the bowl is empty.

I may be wrong but BO was fired more for the off field and side line action then winning the wrong 9 game per season, if he was Mr nice guy he still be here.
