I just don't understand why the rush to hire someone so fast? Why couldn't the AD take a little more time? I hope I'm wrong, but I think we'll be seeing this again in 3 years.

I support the decision to terminate Bo Pelini because 9-10 wins is no better than 6 wins; which is all you need to get to a bowl game. His record is 5-20 against ranked teams and he has never won a conference championship (even though he should have against Texas after them getting one second on the clock). The football program has always been a source of great pride for the state of Nebraska and over the last several years it has become completely irrelevant in college football. If mediocrity is what you want, then Pelini is your guy. As for me, I want Nebraska to return to the once great program it was and that was never going to happen under Bo.

Sorry, I couldn't resist. Just had to vent. Bear with me.

Maybe Ndamakong Suh is no longer the alleged NFL's bad boy?

Bo, I want you to be successful. There's so much to like about you.

Congrats Ron! Good things happen to those who wait. You deserve it!

Did anyone notice Bo's reaction to the win? Was he in shock? Was he wondering if it would be reviewed? Was he copping an attitude? It was kind of odd.

Maybe my "pissed" comments was a little strong or maybe not the right word, but I said that because I wanted it for the defense. They've been scrutinzed and criticized (myself included) and I just wanted it for them. I was "pissed" for the guys who fought to earn it and to lose it with under a minute left, well, kinda sucked.

Just curious...Who's ready for T-Mart to come back?

Great win no doubt, but I gotta rant. Giving up the shutout pissed me off. Did anyone want the shutout as much as I did?

I also admit the UCLA game was the breaking point for me too. It's how they lost and just another in a long list of losses in big games to ranked teams.

Sorry!......

I genuinely want Bo to succeed. There is so much to like and that is admirable about him. But sadly, I think his ship has sailed.

Some of the lowlights of Bo's record over just some of his tenure with Nebraska:

2013: vs. UCLA 21-41 Loss

2012: vs. UCLA 36-30 Loss

vs. tOSU 38-63 Loss

vs. Wisc 31-70 Loss

vs Georgia 31-45 Loss

2011: vs. Wisc 17-48 Loss

vs. Michigan 17-45 Loss

2010: vs. Texas 13-20 Loss

vs. TA&M 6-9 Loss

vs. Oklahoma 20-23 Loss

It appears his teams have a history of losing big games and/or getting blown out. Frank Solich was fired for the same thing. Have we returned to the mediocrity that was trying to be avoided when Solich was fired?

Nebraska makes the best Runzas in the nation?

Today it was also official for me: I have lost all faith and confidence in this coaching staff. Bo, I've tried to give you the benefit of the doubt and be as patient as possible. Sadly, it's time for you to go.

Embarrassing....

UCLA 34 Neb 28

Passing: 210

Rushing: 185

Two pass interference calls today and got burned on a TD....That kid has a horrible day today.

I can't remember a time where I have felt the hangover from a loss as long as this one after losing the B1G championship. I'm finding it hard to shake this funk I'm in and just wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same thing. That loss stung bad...

Am I a bad fan if I say I'm just not that excited about the bowl game?

UGA fan here and I just wanted to let you guys know that we are very anxious and excited to play you guys!!

Let me congratulate Georgia on drawing the easiest bowl opponent among all bowl opponents. Congratulations!

Good post Flood. I'm learning "the big picture" as well. I'm trying to realize that in the big scheme of things it really doesn't matter. Life goes on and sorry for the cliche' but "it's just a game." I think some of us put too much stock in Husker football as part of our overall happiness and that's a shame. There really are more important things in life.

From the Rose Bowl to the Capital One Bowl...What a letdown. Sorry Huskers, I'll be busy that day and won't be watching. It's a meaningless and empty bowl game.

Personal prediction: We win lots of game and get beat by tOSU in the CCG.

Bo and the staff need to reach out to a winning coach, like Saban, and get some outside help.
