This turd needs to be flushed. It's been 6 years and we are losing to a terrible Iowa team at home.

Pretty sure about 50% of the board could be running for 6 yards a pop right. Thank god their RB is terribly slow and horrid.

Shouldn't that be the case every season at every program? An evaluation of whether or not we should retain the coach? My guess is Alabama spends about 3 seconds on that each season, and Tom spent about 5 seconds on it Bo's previous 5 seasons. And it certainly wasn't going on during the season. The fact that it's taking more than 5 minutes of the ADs time is concerning. The fact it actually has a "process" leads relevance to the fact that it's not black and white, he hasn't performed to the level of ensuring his retention. This isn't some performance review in February he's discussing. Ok, I see what you're saying. I meant that the football program including the coaches should be seriously evaluated every season. And while I think Bo has shown promise and feel that we're going backwards by firing him, I also think the decision has already been made and Bo will be out in a week or so.

Try not to lose by more than 4 touchdowns, that is all I ask of you at this point.

I'd like to keep it within 4 touchdowns.

Iowa State. Iowa State was turnovers. Minn just lined up and kick our ass. And continued the tradition of jet sweeps for the win. I'm glad we lost this game if it means Bo is gone next year. Michigan is going to embarrass us. Might as well just forfeit that one.

This is awesome. Is this the most embarrassing loss in the Pelini era? Not by margin, but foe?

At what point is enough, enough of this crap?

Oh I thought the dead period was September Through December.

Stole one from the big boys here. What a coup.........

Not spending another dime this year to go watch Nebraska get embarrassed and nobody else should either. Nothing changes when you continue to funnel money into the program.

See, I didn't do anything remotely psychotic as that at any point. It is just a game after all. I can calmly and rationally acknowledge that what happened last night is unacceptable at a program like this. I find it more and more difficult to justify by pointing out our squeakers over mediocre and flat out bad teams. The Dude, you need more childish ponies in your post, makes you more respected around here. Rest of my post is obvioiusly not directed at you. Losing 2 games by a combined 70 points is also what 10 win teams do. Bo is is 1 of 4 coaches to win 9+ games his first 5 seasons. He's HOF material. Don't question this. When we turn the ball over 8 times and lose at home to Iowa State, nothing wrong with that. When we turn the ball over 35 times this season and give the opponents 115 points off turnovers (almost 10 points a game giving to other teams off turnovers), it's what good 10-2 teams do. When you are the most penalized team ever year by a large margin, it's what good teams do (the refs our out to get us, amirite?). The defend Bo-Cult is looking more like the crazies over at Big Red Board that defend Callaclown to the grave. A mediocre coach is a mediocre coach, not sure why admitting that makes you a bad fan. We will never win a big 10 championship with Bo Pelini in charge, and that's a fact. He is not TO, this isn't 1980/1990s, and Nebraska hasn't been relevant in 15 years. If you are OK with that, great, cool. Enjoy winning 9 games against crappy bottom feeder big 10 teams, dropping 1 game we shouldn't, and getting blown out 1 or 2 times a year. Should make for some fun years of never having a real shot at a title.

This 9+ win stat is getting old. Nebraska plays 4 gimmie wins every season to start, then played in a weak Big 12 North and a Weak Big 10. How many times has a Bo coached team been flat out embarrassed. We gave up 70 points to a 7-5 team, we were embarrassed by Ohio State, we were embarrassed by Michigan last year, South Caroline. Good 9+ wins teams don't get taken to the wood shed every year. Our 9+ wins have been the result of playing a weak schedule, not being a dominate team. Believe me, I have lived through the glory years and have attended the NC games..... I am not "settling" anything, but 9+ is sure a heck of a lot better than under .500 and 6-6 .....which is what Bo took over..... I kind of thought my statement of being embarassed was evident, but I am glad you pointed out the scores....seems like we are on the same page there... I thought all of our non-conference foes went to a bowl last year (or at least 3of the 4).... Agreed that the Big 10 is weak...no argument there. Yeah sorry, just lashing out. Backing away form the keyboard, have a good night sir.

If that is your argument then shouldn't we expect more than getting beat by 40 points by a 7-5 team that was the third best in their division. You would think such a HOF coach such as Bo would prepare our Skers to play better than one of the most embarrassing losses in our program's history.

Osborne was not a proven Head Coach. Solich was not a proven head coach. Bill Callahan was a proven head coach. What proven Head coach would accept any sort of offer after firing a coach with no less than 9 wins/year in 5 years? This is not the 70/80/90's. This is the year 2012 where Nebraska hasn't been relevant for 15 years. Who have we beaten in the last 5 years that we shouldn't have beaten? How many times have we been embarrassed in the last 5 years. Hell we are a couple plays away from being 5-7 and not 10-2. Money talks and you can pay someone a crap ton of money to come resurrect a top 5 wins program in college football history. I don't want to watch miracle come backs to beat the likes of 5-7 MSU and Northwestern. It's time we stop pretending that we are relevant.

Maybe we will get lucky and he will take another job somewhere else. Open up the check book and pay a proven head coach. Make them an offer they can't not refuse.

I still think this hand shake at the end of the game is going to be interesting.

Nebraska as a whole doesn't step up in big games.

Anyone looking forward to the coaches handshake after this game?

You would think we would be able to stop that play once since they have ran it 25 times for 450 yards.

Wisc doesn't even need a quarterback, they just need someone to stand back there and hand it off.

Wisconsin trash man, get the starters out of there.

Are my eyes deceiving me, did we get a stop? Probably muff the punt here.
