Belief in Bo's Huskers has been fading since 2011. Thinking of Bo's eighth year just makes me tired. You gotta ask yourself: Am I a fearful, crouching masturbator? Or can I take a risk and live with the consequences?

The players say that Pelini doesn't just coach, he develops men. I'll take them at their word and expect them to play hard in the bowl game.

I thought there were reports that he let the snake peek through the grass a second time. Just plain bizarre behavior on his part. Too bad, because he was a great find by the staff. Edit: This is in response to Dagerow. The quote function isn't working for me.

What type of booster wouldn't recognize the secondary coach? That type of interaction would be just as likely to occur at nearly any college in the country. I don't want to stereotype here, but my assumption is that boosters (i.e., people who can afford to give a lot of money to a football program) probably aren't the most the most diverse group of people. Between Nebraska and TAMU, if you picked the school that has historically had diversity issues, it wouldn't be Nebraska.

Probably has a little to do with the scheme he runs. There are some trade-offs.

Bo's Wikipedia page still has the following line at the end, which made me smile a little.

Ha! I was just going to post something like this. I'm not with you on the oversigning part. I think that perceiving the football program as a white knight is too important to the fan base. But I don't know why everyone isn't upset about the same issue with academic scholarships. Lots of kids come to school, work hard, and just can't make the grades. It seems just as unfair to pull their scholarships. I had an academic scholarship that would have been pulled if I wasn't in the top 1/3 of my class. I worried about it a lot, almost to the point of sickness, but it also made me work a lot harder.

Ciante got a well deserved pick for first team all conference by the coaches and second team by the media.

Stranger things have happened. Like getting an extension in the afterglow of a 70-31 loss to Wisconsin.

Holy hell Southern Miss won.

So have we reached a moot point now? Until next year. Fair or unfair, Bo isn't going to shake off this stink unless he has a break through season. It's going to be the same song and dance next year. This whole thing really is toxic for everyone involved.

Huh? Some of you doom-and-gloomers need to take a step back from the ledge.

If he does worse next year, we fire him. If he finally breaks through, he'll leave at the first decent offer he gets. The only way Bo stays is if continues to do what he's done the past six years. And that's probably what is going to happen.

Six years is long enough to know, as well as you can, who someone is and what they're capable of. Hell, I married my wife after I only knew her for 4 years. We've seen what Bo can do and I guess that's good enough for us.

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

If you think we're bad, you need to broaden your horizons a little. Follow some of the other big programs and you'll realize that our aberrant scumwads pale in comparison to the vitriol that spews out of other fanbases. Learning to deal with those among us who are just plain bad people is part of becoming a mature adult, and is something our staff should be helping the players with.

I used to put wrong answers on there on purpose a year ago. So, you're the reason I used bleach to remove a red wine stain on my carpet. I've been looking for you, a-hole.

I could see TO viewing his job as the AD from his perspective as a former coach. I have a harder time seeing him make an important decision like this in order to be petty and "give Harvey the finger," as you said above. There's a difference between non-binding assurances and a contract. Kirk Ferentz hasn't exactly flowered into the coach that Hawkeye fans once thought he would become. You seem certain that Bo is going to break through here whereas I'm less sure of what the future holds. I don't want Bo fired Friday night but I also don't think we needed to extend him to 5 years, especially under a laughable "performance" pretense.

So Bo did resign... I might be wrong, but I'm guessing scbhusker meant "re-signed," as in Bo signed again, instead of "resigned" as in Bo quit. That still doesn't explain why we gave a coach an extension after he led the team to one of the most embarrassing blowouts of this century. It doesn't seem like TO would act against NU's best interests just to spit in Perlman's eye. This Severe guy says he got a copy through a Freedom of Information Act request.

First, we're not reverting to the defense we ran in '09 and '10. If anything, we started the year with a scheme more similar to what we ran in those years and began moving away from that scheme during the middle of the season. Second, do you think that the talent we've recruited the last couple of years is any better than the talent Bo had in '09 and '10?

Santos and Mitchell tweeted that a guy threw eggs at them. Mitchell also said some guy threw a glove at him. Sounds like the Huskers were greeted by an interesting mix of people.

Six, with FSU on deck. Georgia Southern didn't complete a single pass. It's kind of fun reading the Florida boards. More than a few posts about whether they got run on worse today than in the "Fiasco" Bowl against NU, comparing Georgia Southern's YPC with NU's, etc. They remember! Wonder if their AD is reconsidering that vote of confidence he gave Muschamp. I bet a loss to an FCS team wasn't on his radar. Some of the Gator faithful are still blaming a lack of execution:
