Coach Pelini press conference 11am

[zoogs]

Okay, now for useful info. Bo named two freshmen most likely to play: Dennard, possibly Fisher, other than that, he "doesn't know." Interesting (Compton?!)

Rickey Thenarse:

"He's a wait-and-see guy...we'd like to redshirt him." But they're not going to, obviously. I thought that was significant though, speaking about a junior starting free safety.

no, no, Ricky Henry the on the o-line, Thenarse is the starting free safety according to the depth chart released today.

I may be out of the loop but why is there going to be a Press Conference at 11????

Is it just a press conference about our upcoming opponent or what?

4 MORE DAYS AND COUNTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:sarcasm I heard from the aquarium guy that he is resigning to take over the Kansas City Chiefs defense this season, they offered him lots of money. I seen a Uhaul heading down his street this morning also...

OHH. That makes a lot more sense.

OK, more highlights.

Bo: "Me, I'm not a very emotional person."

Reporters: ROFLMAO.

(edit) I missed it, Bo just said someone will not play on Saturday, but I didn't catch the name.

68 Keith Wiliams*

58 Mike Caputo

6-1, 275, RFr.

[BIGREDFAN_in_OMAHA]

He said kick offs will be Niles Paul and Larry Asante.

On punts it will be Swift to start and Paul will get in some.

TE Hunter Teafatiller, Bo said just for this one game.

I didn't know Asante was fast enough. Didn't he play LB in juco?

Bo kinda put to rest about when the Blackshirts will be handed out. He said right now he doesn't know but they will have to be earned. He said that could be early in the season or later but they are not going to be just handed out to the starters.

This is awsome, the only way these kids will ever truly know what a Blackshirt is, is if they have to actually earn one and find out for themselves. :clap

I almost want to cry reading that I'm so happy. A tradition like that is only as meaningful as the staff and players allow it to be. By restricting them to those that have earned them, their value increases. Maybe we'll see two or three blackshirts next week. Maybe we won't. Just the idea of them returning, though, in such a needed way is chilling.
