“Shock doesn't even begin to explain it,” Pelini said. “It was like a leaking boat. ... I've never been part of a game like that. At the end of the day, it falls on me. It falls directly on my shoulders.”

Umm, Bo wasn't part of the OSU game? 2011 Wisconsin and Michigan weren't pretty either.

I have to ask. After 5 years, have we even put 1 complete game together against a quality opponent?

But we beat 10 subpar opponents! 10 > 3, therefore Bo is the most awesome-est coach ever!

/sarcasm

Apparently it's illegal to throw blocks on Wisconsin players.

 

Also, tackling is illegal.

Golden Tate made the exact same block on nearly the same play against the Cowboys and got fined for it too. BS call then and a BS call now.

Pelini is one of five coaches ever to win nine or more games in each of his first five years as a head coach. He inherited a 5-7 team, a team that had losing seasons two of the three years prior to taking over, and he's won over 70% of his games following that. His Strength of Schedule over that five years:

 

2008 - 38

2009 - 52

2010 - 39

2011 - 26

2012 - 36 (current)

 

So let's start firing Bo when he misses a bowl game, or when he punches a player, or when he does something criminal. Until then, this constant refrain of "fire Bo" is reactionary nonsense.

Problem is Knapp, that is how you become like Syracuse or Clemson. Usually bowl eligible, sometimes gunning for the conference, rarely in the MNC talk.

Should have read down the thread more.

The oline has shown improvement-as small as it was at times-over the last 3 years. Barney is not going anywhere. Papuchis does not call the defense anyway. If you watch the coaches, it's obvious Bo is making the calls, Pap is signaling in. Papuchis is a figure head, same as Carl pretty much was, and handles.

 

Bottom line is this staff is young. 1st year for a few, and 1st year in a new role for some others. Firing coaches after a 10 win season (could still be 11, probably not) even after this kind of game again is just not logical, in my opinion. Realistically, there just isnt gonna be any changes.

 

I'm sorry, but this isn't just a bad game. This is the worst f*cking loss in the history of NU football. We've been completely embarrassed twice this season: once by a good team, once by a 5-loss team that struggled to get to 7 wins. If this doesn't lead to coaching changes, then Bo will be the one being changed if we see another year of this garbage. This program and fan base deserves better than delusions from Bo. Hopefully our new AD will see the need for changes.

Change coaches then. fine. fire 1 of the only 4 coaches in the history of college football to win 9+ games in his first 5 seasons. Fine. I'll roll with it. One logical question. Who do you get? That's all i want to know. No John Gruden BS or this man or that. Who do you want?

 

Ok, get a new staff. Who do you want here as a DC. Did you want Mike Stoops this time last year? OU's defense = (sarcastically of course)

 

Who do we get?

I assume "Accountability" is an ironic username then?

There's out QB. Throwing balls to wide open receiver in the ground.

Untouched. Again.

How is blocking someone in the shoulder a penalty, but throwing a blow to someone's face mask not?

Blocking the tackler is now a penalty. Excellent.

Golden Tate was fined in the NFL for the exact same play. BS then and BS now.

Ball Untouched.

Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor?

i think it was japan.

It was an Animal House reference.

Only time I have felt worse watching a Nebraska game was during the 16-0 loss to Arizona State in 1996.

 

I don't know, the Oklahoma game a couple years ago was worse. That game was truly over in the first quarter.

Eh, I had no expectations against Oklahoma a couple years ago and I was on guard in the Army in 2001 for the CU game. I had expectations for this game. I should know better with this team.

Only time I have felt worse watching a Nebraska game was during the 16-0 loss to Arizona State in 1996.

These are all of Pelini's players. The talent just isn't there. He can't recruit talent.

I don't think he's had a top-20 recruiting class since he's been here. There are only so many gems you can find in second-tier talent.

Isn't this what we used to do to Northern Texas in the 90s?

Bo needs to go.

Holy crap! T-Magic is back!

Now 3rd and 11... Coaching staff does not have these guys prepared.

Refs spotted that ball a yard and a half short.

For the love of all that is Holy. WTF!

6. We Suck.

Last year and this game plants me firmly in the "Fire Bo" circle.

Hey ho, Hey ho, Bo needs to Go.

Nobody even covered Franklin. Piss poor TO there Bo.
