I hope your post is meant to be sarcastic. It perfectly illustrates the "us versus them" attitutude that defined the Bo Pelini era and created the toxicity around the program that led to everyones' misery and Pelini's dismissal. Pelini wasn't fired for only winning 9 games, he was fired for fostering this divide in the program. If Pelini had spent more time managing the team and less time worrying that officials, administrators, media, conference officials and bad fans were out to get him, he probably would have had more success on the field and would likely still be the coach he was fired because Perlman didn't "like" him plain and simple- if TO were still AD does anyone think Pellini would have been fired? take all your emotions about Pellini out of it, the answer is very pellucid- and it is no The main reason he was fired was because Tom finally saw the light after the Wisconsin game and said that Bo had to go. Just because he isn't the AD, doesn't mean that he doesn't have pull when it comes to these things. A lot of the big $$$$ boosters still listen to him and if he wasn't on board, then you would have heard more grumbling from them than you do. No. No, no, no, no & no.. Say what you want but Tom is out, and that is as it should be.

Hi, how are you, thanks for posting yet one more thread about how our new coach is terrible... Many college level coaches struggle with the NFL. Spurrier comes to mind, as well as some dude they call Nick, you may of heard of him. Anyway basing your hate of a coach that in your own words took "(a) bad team to a mediocre team" but really sucked in the NFL is just silly. They have separate levels of play for a reason and good NFL does not mean good in College or the other way around, OK? Alright then... Again thanks for posting, and any time you feel the need to start a topic on the next thought that pops into your head, feel free! Even though it may of been covered in other threads, possibly several times there is no need for you to go unheard, for you are very special and your voice must be heard above all others. Have a great day!

Something isn't right. USA Today has us the same way... http://www.usatoday.com/sports/college/schools/finances/ Omaha has us over 100 million... http://www.omaha.com/huskers/nebraska-s-athletic-budget-will-top-million-for-st-time/article_a644fe2e-23e3-11e4-9efe-0017a43b2370.html Looking deeper the top link is for 2013, and the Omaha post is for this year, but the numbers are still of by millions.

The Tam was shut down for renovation a few weeks ago, out of town right now and not for sure if they have reopened. If you dont need L-town actual try Sprague bar, Hickman bar, and for the trifecta Kramer bar...

HAHAHAHAHAHA..... You'd fire a Chancellor of a Major University over the football program? Love him or hate him Ol' Harv has done a lot for UNL

Should of set up via a Tor Browser. Would mask everything about you. Keep it in here, and Im sure you're fine...

I love your soup! Why dont you add a full sandwich with a bowl of soup for the hungrier (and fatter) set, half a sandwich is such an insult. I for one would love it...

I Bleed Red? IBR or something, that you? Ohh this is a good one

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! EDIT: Not worth getting banned

Yup sure sounds like he doesn't give a crap about any of that... Oh boy. You buy that, huh? Says it right there, but since he has and "R" after his name he is telling a lie. The bill needs to (or should) come up again, maybe he can get the bill he wants. No. It's not the "R" after his name that makes him a liar. What makes him a liar is the fact that he claims to want one thing and votes for the opposite. "I object to these warrantless searches being performed on United States citizens. I object to the 200,000 NSL searches that have been performed without a judge's warrant. I object to over 2 million searches of bank records, called Suspicious Activity Reports, performed on U.S. citizens without a judge's warrant. As February 28th approaches, with three provisions of the USA PATRIOT Act set to expire, it is time to re-consider this question: Do the many provisions of this bill, which were enacted in such haste after 9/11, have an actual basis in our Constitution, and are they even necessary to achieve valid law-enforcement goals?" Sen Rand Paul So he speaks out against the Patriot act, then votes against a bill that would extend it until 2017, and now hes a liar. Got it.

Not me. Lets take a look: - First year on the job and he beats . Bo has only beaten a top 10 team once (MU) in his head coaching career. It took him 3 years.... Saban went 6-5-1 after the previous coach did not win a single game last year. That is a 6 game upswing compared to Pelini's 4 game upswing from 2007-2008. Keep in mind saban had a tougher schedule his first year and bo did.- Third year on the job and he beats a . Had a schedule that consisted of 3 top ten teams, making it much stronger than Pelini's current strength of schedule for this 2014 season- Went 9-2 in his fifth and last year on the job, 1999 season, beating 4 out of 6 RANKED TEAMS. Pelini would not survive 6 ranked teams on his plate in one season. He's already lost all 3 this year. doubt he even has a chance to beat a top 25 team after the minnesota loss unless he beats iowa and gets a better bowl opponent. - Continuing, in Saban's FIFTH season, (after taking over a MSU team that did not win a single game the previous year), he fielded a better team than Bo has, considering Bo was given seven years and much more resources. The 1999 spartans ended the season with a top ten finish. Bo has never done that Pelini's career at NU is not as successful as Saban's MSU career when you look past the total wins and losses, 34-24 for saban, 66-27 for pelini Great post, great way to take down a straw man with facts. +1

Went to the game at U-Dub... Man a great weekend, drinking bars outta beer with my fellow NU brethren was amazing, Seattle never saw it coming.

So Osborne is a legend when you want him to be and something else if he's potentially a roadblock to your ire. Its not his program anymore. Will they consult him, probably. Will he be the one make the choice, I hope not, as much as I respect the man he is no longer the AD, SE needs to own this, it will define his tenure at Nebraska, good or bad.

Here we go. Its BC vs Us/TO all over again. As it was then it probably is now: A loss next week means you are gone. The media will fuel the flames, no one will have his back, the drum beat will take a toll on the players, all feeding the collapse.

Embrace your history. Just dont live in it. That's gotta be the mantra of this coaching search. Let's modernize and revolutionize. Get back.I don't think that anybody is really considering TO seriously. They're just engaging in hypothetical conversation. I really don't want to be argumentative, but in my humble opinion, "modernizing and revolutionizing" instead of embracing our former identity essentially is what has kept us in this mess for the past decade. A lot of us want to go back to the style of football that created all of the tradition that made this program great. Back to the future.it wasnt just about any notion of TO actually coaching. Its the whole mentality. In order hit a home run here, we gotta be willing to cut ties from our history from an operational standpoint. Look forward not backwards. Like the Frost thing. Its still ridiculous to me in a way. Hes got significantly less experience as a coordinator than bo had. But hes a "nebraska guy and played here so..." Can not be thinking like that. Like i said. Embrace it. Just done live in it. This is a very good point. Scott is unproven and people look past that since he "gets it", I remember a lot of people saying that about Bo (myself included) but what ever "it" is, is intangible and of course changes depending on the product on the field, and the W/L column.

This, and everyone wishing for the opposite of what they have. No energy on sidelines we want that. Energy on the sidelines, nope you are wasting your breath and not saving it for the field. Didn't you go to Penn State, Hingle? I did but I became a Husker fan while serving time at LCC for banging horses.

Take it to the bank, that guy was super legit... IBR needs to return with his stories of the inside...

Thats the only chain out there... Maybe a Burger King in Alliance or something... Also Polo is wrong What-A-Burger is freaking amazing, at least the ones I've had in Houston are.

You are right, it was something like this, if you believe the stories. I guess a Regent from Omaha also runs Bo's charity, and a donor (Hawks?) stuck up for him last year. Yes the top donors can steer a program, if the AD needs a buy out and the money isn't there then no one is fired. When BC was canned I guess TO and others flew to Texas to smooth it over with a big donor that was a friend and supporter of BC. To the OP as others have said the big time $$$ people dont really say much, they are in the circle and want to stay there.

No, but I'm not paid $3 million a year to figure these things out. I can see issues, if you cant I'm happy for you.
