Sorry I don't know how to post tweets but he just said he is not a silent commit.

Regardless of how Fyfe plays, Tommy will be the starter when he is healthy again.

Because of the wind? The game atmosphere? Or the play of our secondary and coaching?So we are mocking recruits now, got it. Sorry I've been away from the board for a while and apparently I need to catch up on current etiquette.

I was shaking my head on the second to last drive when they slowed the pace down, and then guess what, they couldn't do anything. They had them on their heels and decided to give them a break. Yes I understand clock management but I think scoring is more important at that point.

Jeez they act like the guy died...

I think the point of creating the "us vs. them" mentality is that when there is criticism, it fuels you and makes you play better. So I wish I could ask Bo what the point of creating that culture was when he goes on to say that the criticism got to them and negatively influenced the way they played at Wisconsin.

I think this has more to do with the practice structure. I've heard that there are a startling number of players standing around doing nothing during Nebraska practices. That's on Bo.

Yeah I'm sure talent evaluation is harder for Beck with Hudl, youtube, etc. than it was for any coach anytime prior to 2000... What a cop-out.

So Jack Mason has no confidence in Nebraska... Got it.

Prior to the season and his injury greg sharpe and other guys that get to watch practices were saying on the radio that they thought Taylor would be the second back this year.

These comparisons are ok as long as you keep in mind how hard it is to win at Oregon State. IMO comparing Bo's record to Riley's is not an apples to apples comparison.

I like stuff like this. Of course we are going to "go with" what the committee says today, in the meantime what are message boards for? Why are you on here if not to read other people's opinions?

MLB 51? Can you help me out here, been at work today and I don't really have time to read everything... Thanks

He says he conducts performance reviews and sets clear guidelines for his employees. Personally I think that management style is great. You know who doesn't like that style? People who can't meet the guidelines that are set. It is apparent from the, "I could care less," comments from Bo that he was in the crowd that doesn't like that management style.

Kind of like the other 117 Division 1 coaches that year?

Unfortunately, I just don't think this is possible in this day and age. You really have to go with they guys who you are expecting to be starters. There just aren't enough scholarships to go around. We'll probably only have three scholarship QBs on the roster next year. Probably only four RBs - maybe 3. We only have 6 DEs lined up right now and 7 CBs. To go three deep at each of 22 spots is 66 guys plus specialists. That's already about 70 of your 85 spots who are an injury away from being in the two-deep. And there's really closer to 26 or so spots to fill by the time you factor in different personnel groupings. And that's assuming everyone pans out. I think you have to be as picky as you can. And that means a lot of Nebraska kids who would have gotten a scholarship back in the day won't anymore. Yeah but when Bo Pelini and staff only have so many recruiting points to spend each week it's easier to take advantage of the guys close by (costs less points). Now maybe in the future Bo will invest some of his experience points into gaining more recruiting points each week but until then he has to save points for the big push in the offseason....

My thoughts were brought to this after reading an article about the program in the LJS in which they were pondering if Nebraska was going to be able to make a big splash before signing day. I wondered if we were still, "in on," any top recruits remaining. It seems there are two.

I'm bored at work and feeling unproductive so here are some morning stats for you regarding the 2014 class. I was pondering how well the staff could fill this class out. Out of the Rivals Top 250, 30 are currently listed as uncommitted. Rivals indicates that 2 of these players have interest in Nebraska. For comparison value, 9 are showing interest in Ohio State. Let's just say I hope the recruiting services have it wrong this year and Nebraska has found some sleepers.

I agree. The presser was not the reason that he will be gone as some are saying, the presser went down the way it did because he doesn't plan on being the coach much longer.

I'm sorry you feel that way. The sad part is, some people actually read this and believe you when you say that. Until you have met the guy in person, please be careful of what you say. Sidenote: Pelini has young children and his kids and family have had to deal with the fanbase (the self-proclaimed, "Greatest Fans in College Football") this year, through all of this media garbage... Try explaining to a 3rd grader how you could lose your job and the entire state would know about it. And yes Bo can be an aggressive, toe-the-line type of person but it's that mentality that turns in championship teams and helps form boys to men. - And please, do not compare this to Osborne. Although we respected Osborne over time, his lack of aggression/vocally expressing his angry or disagreement frustrated the fans like crazy. Osborne was also shielded from that because he had some assistant coaches and players who had no problem laying into a ref vocally. I love the, "he has kids," defense of Pelini. So what, he can not be fired until his kids all reach the age of 19? This is a business, plain and simple.

Not really when in the old days guys had to sit behind upperclassmen before they had their chance.

Thanks!

I agree with you in that the recruiting shouldn't even be an issue that is raised in this discussion when they are 41st according to rivals. A good hire could easily finish just as good if not better than this staff.

I work 3rd shift and wasn't able to wake up until after half. Can someone post what the question and answer were that everyone is so fired up over? Thanks!
