Disappointed in Pelini for not showing class

[HuskerNLA]

First of all, the hit Asante made on the Oklahoma player was not "dirty." It was a perfectly executed tackle. He didn't lead with his helmet, it was made by his body. Should he have just gone up and slapped the player on the hand asking him nicely to go down? I'm sure that is what our players have to do in order to get your approval.

After he made the hit, he got up and started celebrating because he broke up a play. Not sure if you ever watch college or pro football, but celebration after a big play is kind of the norm.

Secondly, Asante was already going for Reesing when he was sliding. He could've tried to avoid hitting him the way he did, but I don't think, in any way, that his intent was malicious.

You are really grasping at straws to try and make Pelini and Asante look bad. My guess is a closet KU or MU fan. Please find yourself the door. Thanks.

The game officials felt it was dirty and, from what I am hearing the Big XII does as well. But, I guess you don't care if we are seen as a bunch of thugs, you just want a winning team. Fans like you don't even know what it means to be a Husker fan.

Correct.

The only reason people thought it was taunting is because the player was hurt. What does the skull and cross bones symbolize after a big play or hit??? The KU game was a little dirty though. But atleast we are being physical like the good o'l days.

I am disappointed in some husker fans for threads like this.

Everyone is responding to the hit in the OU game. It's not just that hit and celebration, it was the follow up VERY late and VERY dirty hit in the KU game. Come on, I don't want him kicked off the team, but he should at least be made to apologize. He should do this BEFORE the Big XII office steps in this week.

What good does it do in FORCING a person to say sorry?!?!?! They dont really mean it, so it carries no weight at all!

Have you noticed that neither Stoops nor Maningo have said anything about it? That tells you all you need to know.

Mangino has already filed a complaint with the Big XII, according the ESPN

The people I have seen crying about this HAVE to be BCers, they have to be "fans" that loved all things BC and hate the new staff so they are looking for things to attack the coach about. Similar to the fans that hated BC and ripped on him for the throat slashing and all his lame quotes from his pressers.

...

the main problem I think most of us had with his throat slash was that he didn't use a real knife.. :laughpound

I know I am opening myself up for attacks from Husker fans that are just glad we are winning again, but I say you are not TRUE Husker fans if you condone the conduct of Bo Pelini and Larry Asante.

I am VERY disappointed in Bo Pelini for not doing something about Larry Asante playing like a thug for the second week in a row. I hate Oklahoma and I hate KU, but I love football and there is not place for thuggish play like the celebration over injuring a OU player after making a dirty hit and then the hit on the KU quarterback was just downright dirty. We want winning football and Nebraska but not at the cost of becoming a Miami like group of thugs. I was hoping that, even though Pelini came from the Les Miles staff that he would show more class than Miles does...I guess I was wrong, he is showing himself to be just as classless. Come on Pelini, DO SOMETHING ABOUT LARRY ASANTE.

Atypical...Pelini and Co win and Lee has a decent game so people have to find something else to complain about. Do you disapprove of his sideline apparel as well? <_<

Yawn, grow a pair.

Seriously

it was late..... and stupid...... he was penalized. move on. its not like he was going all out to hurt him...... asante is big enough that if he wanted to he could have put reesing in the hospital

:yeah

Nope, wrong again, not a BCer, think the firing was the right thing to do. I think hiring Pelini was the right thing. But I also think Pelini looking the other way about this type of play, while we are be hammered on ESPN and SI for what Larry Asante has done the last two weeks. If Bo would just step up and do the right thing, maybe everyone could move on. Until he does, he will look classless and weak.

Sorry, but this post stinks of a BCers thoughts. I was on the bigredboard long enough to know how you guys work.

Maybe Bo should resign but before he does he should rip up the schollys of any player that was flagged this year.

Fans like you don't even know what it means to be a Husker fan.

Here is a newsflash, its not a complaint, all flags are reviewed by each team, each team then submits a video of each one of those plays for official review from the league, asking for either an explanation, an apology or a punishment. It is done for every single game and every single flag that is thrown.

Then the head of officials reviews each and every flag for the league that they are responsible and they grade the refs or hand out warnings, apologies or suspensions.

Don't tell me what kind of Husker fan I am. You think you are the mold of the perfect husker fan? You have 5 posts, and they are all in this thread that you started about how our players and coach are unclassy.

What? Because I don't agree with your ridiculous opinion on us being thugs means I don't know what it means to be a husker fan?

You're so off base with your rants that it's making you look foolish. How does an accidental late hit make us all look like thugs? Your agenda here is becoming more and more clear.

Get off your high horse, or better yet, fall off it and hurt yourself. Then go blame it on Asante.

Ah, another for my ignore list.

Okay, I can live with that. I am just glad I am not a BCer who is trying to stir things up.

how do we ignore again?

When I get off my "high horse" can I help you pull your head out of that same horse's....?
