http://www.journalstar.com/blog/huskers.php I know this probably belongs in the recruiting forum, but felt it was big enough news to be posted here. Mods, move this if you have to.

I think a lot of us are just getting tired of the out of control rumor mill. It seems "everybody and his brother" who has any ties to Nebraska has had his name thrown out as a potential candidate. There's nothing personal intended here. You are welcome to share you views. I just think nerves are getting a little frazzled right now so people are getting short with their responses. It's going to be a LONG four weeks until the end of the season when, hopefully, TO will make some decisions. I agree. I've had enough of th 'what about this guy?' posts. give it all a rest for a while. Thought this was a place we could post our "opinions". Guess the only opinion worth posting is the popular one. Don't get me wrong, I believe Pelini will be a great head coach for any team. I also believe that TO will select the right guy for the job. Just wanted to throw this name out there. If you don't like it, don't read it

It's going to be a LONG four weeks until the end of the season when, hopefully, TO will make some decisions. This thread was not intended to be a "rumor". Just a guy I thought was interesting. Nothing I've read or heard says he is even interested in coming here. Was just a thought. Geez

I just don't get it! All these coaches names that are being tossed around as potential candidates. First off just because they were born in Nebraska does not mean that they automaticially want to come here because the job is open! Second, what makes ya think they want to leave the jobs their have now? This football program is broke at the moment. Don't kid yourself but that will shy a lot of coaches away. Yes we have a rich and valued tradition at Nebraska, but right now it's in complete turmoil. I have faith in TO and his search committe to find the best coach to fit not only the University but the people of Nebraska. Never said that he would want to come back here. Didn't even say that he was unhappy in his current position. Not assuming he would want to come here "just because he was born here". Just found it interesting that he was actually from Omaha and I love what he's done with a Georgia program that was fairly mediocre before he took over. Also, if you're going to say "no", I'd love it if you could expand on that opinion a little. This is a message board, so maybe you'd like give us a little more than........"no"

Haven't seen his name mentioned yet. Very interesting though. He was actually born in Omaha. Maybe he'd consider coming back? Even heard he has family still in the Omaha area. Has done some impressive things at UGA while staying atop the SEC most years and did some VERY good things at FSU as an offensive coordinator where he coached 2 Heisman trophy winners. A young coach with a lot of passion. The more I read about him, the more I like him as NU's head coach than Pelini. His bio: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Richt He also has a son, Jon, who is a senior high school quarterback who's committed to Clemson. Maybe he could follow Dad back to his roots? http://footballrecruiting.rivals.com/viewp...sp?pr_key=61263

Hey, don't shoot the messenger. Could be complete BS, but just passing it along b/c I thought it was interesting. Take it for what it's worth......which could be nothing Actually, both rumors could be true. Maybe Tom is just going down there for something completely different.

Like I said, purely speculation. Nothing concrete at all. Don't imagine TO has too much time to drop a line in the water right now though.

So I have a friend that has connections to the athletic dept and told me today that TO is heading down to Austin to catch the volleyball match tonight. The thing is, he apparently isn't flying with the volleyball team but is taking a separate flight and told the dept that he wouldn't be back until Friday. Wonder what he could be doing down there until Friday? Could it be that he's planning a short trip east to Baton Rouge? Pure speculation of course, but I thought it was interesting. Could mean absolutely nothing.

I have to admit, I was a big BC supporter in the beginning (Not any more!!). I honestly haven't talked to anybody that still supports him! Surely there has to be somebody out there......right? Anybody? Nope sorry, they all have been exterminated!! It's just surprising that there isn't anyone that wouldn't still support him. Just figured there'd be some guy out there that didn't know his elbow from his a** and would still support him just b/c he's still our coach . No matter what the situation, you always seem to run into these people. I just haven't found any Freemason9??? To say that you support him simply b/c he's our coach is like a woman who gets beaten up by her husband and won't leave him b/c she still says she loves him! Don't get me wrong, this situation isn't nearly as serious as domestic violence, but you get my point.

Funny guy! You had me for a minute. May not be too long though and the real "Blaine" may be a Tiger too.

http://www.journalstar.com/blog/huskers.php Yada Yada Yada.....Same coach speak, different week!!

No offense I doubt T.O thinks he see Devaney in Pelini. (Don't believe every e-mail you get) It's funny how many former Husker players know about whats going on but the ones that are in the media from the National Championship teams seem to know nothing about it. Was T.O even in Nebraska when Pelini coached here? I thought he was just starting out as a congressman. I wouldn't mind Pelini being named head coach but there will probably be a coaching search done before anything is decided. I agree that it would be a mistake to jump the gun to early on a head coach before really looking at other options, but I have to admit that I was very impressed with Coach Pelini's defensive adjustments at halftime tonight!

Anyone watching the LSU vs. Auburn game? It's refreshing to watch a game in which a team actually makes some defensive and offensive adjustments at halftime (LSU)!! Auburn scored 17 in the first half and have been completely shut down it the second. IMO, we would be very blessed to get Pelini!

Sorry about that. I'm fairly new. I'll figure it out. Thanks

I'd appreciate a PM too, IBR!! You're the reason I joined this board! Thanks for all the info!

old news..already seen it I hadn't. Thanks for posting it! Don't imagine they'll be doing any more bits like that one any time soon though. Hard to crack a smile when you're getting pasted by 30 points a game!

A few weeks ago I was having a hard time describing to a buddy why this year's version was so bad. "Embarrassing" is the perfect adjective! Like a really bad commercial. Very lame. Shouldn't be too hard to generate a tunnel walk that would get the crowd into a frenzy. All you'd have to do is show old Husker glory-day clips and you'd be fine. Glad to see they're re-vamping it!

Good job, Travis! Very generous of you! Don't see this kind of thing too often
