Would love to be wrong on this, but I just sense that he's back. Look at these "facts" (which I don't like): 1. Bo had his first two-game losing streak this year in 2 years; 2. Bo had one bad game this year; 3. Yesterday's come-from-behind-victory shows that Bo won't quit; 4. Bo beat Georgia in last year's bowl game; 5. Bo didn't go ballistic at all this week, showing that he has some composure Bo didn't have one bad game this year. That is where people need to use their eyes and intelligence and stop looking at results. WATCH AND ANALYZE the games. Being generous, we had bad games against McNeese St, MSU, Minnesota, Iowa and one of the worst games in the history of the program. A bad game shouldn't be defined as losing by 30+ points. A bad game should be: did a specific's game performance translate to playing well against another team of equal talent. Just watch all the games on right now and think to yourself: If we played like we did yesterday, how would we stack up against Bama, Auburn, Georgia Tech, Georgia, FSU, Florida, Ohio State, Ole Miss, Miss St. If we play yesterday's game against any of those teams, the average margin of victory is greater than 3 TD's. For me, that doesn't equate to a "good" game. The win doesn't matter, the quality of the product, coaching, preparation, and execution matters. Agree, Bo didn't have just one bad game. However, on paper, it only looks like he only had one bad game. Will Eichhorst look at reality, or will he forget what actually happened and be wooed by 9-3? My small sliver of hope is that Eichorst hasn't said anything yet. Last year he gave a vote of confidence. Nothing yet. Maybe that is something to cling to?

We are again unranked and finished 3rd in one of the worst divisions in power 5 conference football. SE still hasn't made a comment when He made one within 24hrs of the Iowa game last year Would love to be wrong. However, as we speak, Minnesota is whipping Wisconsin. This makes the Minnesota loss make more sense (at least in Eickhorn's mind). Yet another reason why Bo might be back.

I will agree that Texas is the only possible school that would give me enough interest to watch. No other.

Why JP over Beck? What is JP responsible for? He literally has as much say in the defense as you and I. Beck runs most of the offense, so if you choose one, you want Beck gone. Bo is the DC and who ever is the DC in title, Bo will continue to be the actual DC. A man of Muschamp's caliber would not be overrun by Bo. Muschamp has about 8 schools hotly pursuing him as DC. If he interviewed with Bo, he'd say (in a bunch of words), "I'll come, but only if you keep out of my business completely." In short, if Muschamp had full power, we'd be a defensive powerhouse. Would much rather win games 10-7, than win 34-31. If Papuchis stays, Bo's wacky defense will continue. Don't want that.

Would love to be wrong on this, but I just sense that he's back. Look at these "facts" (which I don't like): 1. Bo had his first two-game losing streak this year in 2 years; 2.

Holiday wants nothing to do with us. We were there in 2009 and 2010. They don't want us.

Apathy set in for me when NU pulled off yesterday's game. It was a ho-hum "so what?" victory. We were an aging fighter who eeked out a 12-round decision over a journeyman fighter. Nobody outside of Nebraska cares about that victory. We'll never fight for the heavyweight title under Pelini. Too bad. Now that Bo almost certainly will be returning (for reasons unexplained), the only hope we have is if we fire Papuchis and hire Will Muschamp. Would love to fire Beck, as well, but no way will two coordinators be fired. If we had to fire one or the other, I'd much rather fire Papuchis. Sadly, Bo is loyal to a fault (Cotton is still here), so nobody's leaving. Two more years of 8-5 before we finally move on. Hard to believe that we have not won a truly meaningful game since OU in 2001. Wow. Let's rally together and hope that we can beat Air Force in the San Francisco bowl so that we can finish #24! Now THAT gets the blood pumping.

I would hate to lose this game, then have Eichorst say afterward, "I'm looking forward to Bo leading us to the San Francisco bowl versus San Jose State, and then into next year." I get the feeling that this is what's going to happen.

Thanks for the assist. You're right.

Most of us are saying that we would like to see a coaching change, but just because we would never cheer against the Huskers doesn't make us sheep. Please put some thought into what you are going to post. I would like to see some changes in the coaching staff, but I will be hoping for a win on Friday. If we followed this path, Bill Callahan would still be our coach!

This, my good man, is the classic definition of insanity.

There are so many of you who agree with me. However, you have to act PC and spout the old "I'll never vote against Nebraska" line to look good. Rrrriggght. You mean to say that you'd trade in the chance for a new coach over a meaningless win over Iowa? Sure.

I will never cheer for Nebraska to lose. Thats something an Iowa fan would do. Well then count me an Iowa fan this week. Go Hawkeyes!

How many of you want Iowa to absolutely hand us our lunch this week? I'm for a 50-0 shellacking in order to end the Pelini era. We can all wax on about how we don't want to abandon the players, etc, but, the reality is that unless Iowa kicks our rear ends, there's a very good chance Bo is back next year.

This is never going to happen. He's still on probation. Also, he's a president of a university. No way is he going to give up that job to take a chance with us. He's already won a national championship. He's proved it all. Also, when has a coach ever come out of retirement (at any level) and done anything of note? And I'm not talking about a coach who took a year off and came back. I'm talking about a coach who took several years off, then came back. I can't think of one. While I would certainly like to see Tressel, it's not going to happen. While we are talking of dream candidates, I'd like to get Tony Dungy or Bill Cowher.

Sadly, I have to agree that Pelini is not going anywhere. This is Bo's first two-game losing streak in 2 years. Eichorst isn't as trigger happy as the rest of us (I wish he was). The reality is that Bo will be here next year. And, the reality is that no coordinators are getting fired. I would love to be 1000% wrong, but I'm not.

Don't dismiss this guy so quickly. He is the one coach who has always done well. Remember when Stanford was thinking of hiring him, but then they determined that he was too religious? I think the man would be a great coach. He has the fighting spirit that we need. Also, he knows how to infuse that into his players, rather than using it to harass them. Yes, there are plenty of other potential candidates. But, seriously, why would Scott Frost be better than him? Brown is not part of Pelini's bath water. I wish he were given a long, hard look.

We are now Iowa That's an insult to Iowa.

Totally agree.

Underachieved.

Don't laugh, but I would like to give Ron Brown a shot.

I hope we lose next week. What is to be gained by a loss? This is our equivalent to a team in the NBA losing to improve its lottery position.

I feel sorry for Faux Bo. People will be egging his car, thinking that he's still Bo living in town.

1. His failure to see when a starter should be demoted to scout team. 2. Seeing his flared nostrils while we are getting the crap kicked out of us yet again. 3. Four-man rush 99% of the time. 4. Him saying about whatever crappy QB is running the team and has just gone 4-37, with 3 interceptions, and two fumbles, "I think he gives us the best chance to win." 5. His half time adjustments, which seem to be nothing more than him adjusting himself. 6. His inexplicable loyalty to Barney Cotton . . . and to . . . 7. Tim Beck . . . and to . . . 8. John Papuchis (I've never figured out how to spell his name. Hope I won't have to worry about this much longer). 9 People saying, "If we just fire the whole staff, the team, and the janitors, then Bo will succeed" 10. The Alamo Bowl.

Does anybody really know anything about how Eichorst operated in his previous stops? Seriously.
