Bo Pelini Flew into Duncan!!


Recommended Posts


ok I don't feel like typing this all again so I'll just copy and paste from last time (see below). To respond to NEHUSKERS311, I highly doubt that Robert Duncan was shooting the s--t at the urinals with random people about Pelini. I don't even know if he is even in the country right now. He retired recently and handed over control of the company to his son Todd and he might be at his house in Mexico where he spends his winters. I'm not sure about that though. As for the source who does the catering at the Embassy. There is NOTHING strange about an order for a fruit and meat and cheese tray. We get catering orders like that several times a day! People who fly on these private planes think nothing of paying $120 for a couple sandwiches or some fruit. Here's an update for you conspiracy theorists though. Tom Osborne DID fly out of Lincoln yesterday on one of Duncan's lears to Knoxville Tennessee! OMG! OMG! Fulmer is the new coach! Nope. He was the keynote speaker at the fellowship of Christian athletes banquet. I dont know why it is so hard to accept that Coach is going to do what he said and wait till the end of the season.

 

I want to say something about all these "Bo Pelini spotted at Duncan Aviation" stories. I work on the line at Duncan Aviation which means I am one of the 18 people who do the parking, fueling, and movement of private aircraft 24/7/365. We see every person who steps off the plane and I can tell you that Bo Pelini hasn't been through Duncan Aviation since he was a coach here in 2003 nor has Tom Osborne been been seen recently going in or out. The last time I saw Dr. Tom here was when he was running for governor.

 

If Bo was going to come here via the university's King Air it is very likely that no one here would see him at all since all the state owned aircraft arrive and depart from the FSDO (Flight Standards District Office) building which is directly south of Duncan Aviation. It might be possible that he would come in on a private jet to Silverhawk Aviation as well which is the other FBO here in Lincoln but I would have heard about that almost instantly as well since we all know each other around here. knapplc was also correct in that the national guard would have absolutely nothing to do with a private aircraft coming into Lincoln since private aircraft are not allowed on the military ramps with the exception of large chartered commercial jets taking soldiers to and from Iraq.

 

Basically all the stories and sightings are completely false. The only story around here that has generated any stir at all was something I heard from a guy who heard from a pilot who knows a pilot who flew some boosters to some shindig who said a booster told him it's a done deal and Pelini is the next coach and its all agreed to in principle and they are just waiting for the season to be over. Take that for what it's worth which isn't anything. To me the full story with all the little details I got told seems to be a patchwork of different stories I have heard before. It's fun to listen to people talk about it though. It makes the day go by faster. My guess is we will all find out in a press conference on the 26th.

 

 

 

Ok here is the e-mail I recieved from my friend take what you want from it but its pretty much the same thing I said when I posted this... Maybe this will answer some question maybe not but here it is....

 

 

the 2 stories I heard was that Bo was in flowin into

town. My friend got a call from an air traffic

controller who had a flight number and the FAA'S

website and had him track the flight. Originated out

of Baton Rouge LA and came here with one passenger,

sat out at the airport (Duncan Aviation) and left with

the same passenger and went back to Baton Rouge. I

had him call the Athletic office and talk to someone I

know, she told him Tom Osborne wasn't available and

was supposed to attend an engagement with Perlman but

something came up. When asked if it involved a plane

she said, "I can't deny or confirm that".

A friend of mine down the street has a son who went

out to eat last week and went into the bathroom and a

couple guys were talking football at the urinals. One

told the other that Bo was in town and at Duncan

Aviation last week. My friend's son asked him how he

knew...he said, "I should know, I own it". It was Bob

Duncan.

A guy I work with has a girlfriend who's in charge of

catoring for Embassey Suites downtown. She said that

last week they got a strange order for just a fruit

tray and a meat and cheese tray. She said it was out

of the ordinary because it was such a small order. It

was for Duncan Aviation.

Today a friend of mine who has a son who writes for

ESPN told me his son told him that Osborne informed

Callahan last week that he wouldn't be coming back

next year.

So....that's what I know!

 

 

Hahaha the funny thing is you took my post an broke it down word for word even tho I already said there may be some holes in my e-mail I recieved... The point of the post was I heard something an I chose to share it I never said it was correct word for word an that you need to believe this... Its a rumor figured some news was better then no news... I am not mad you torn my post apart I was just trying to let you know what I heard in case someone else heard something of the same...

Duncan wouldn't be commenting on who his passengers were or he may not have them again....especially with something this sensitive.

 

 

 

Ok you may have a point but prove he said it... Just like I cant prove he said cause I wasent there, but I heard someting that I thought you guys would like to know is it true maybe I guess we will never know an it doesnt matter its a rumor whoever our next coach is we will never know how things went down an nor will anyone care as long as we all like the new coach!!! If the owner of Duncan Aviation did know it was BO an yes he would know who flys into his airport no one can prove he said it... Again its a rumor take it for whats its worth

Actually the only thing of yours I broke down word for word was the part about the catering because it is something I deal with a lot. I also added my opinion that I didn't think Robert Duncan would be BSing with some guy at a urinal. I don't have any specific information on his bathroom conversation habits so that was just an opinion based on what I have seen of the man. He doesn't really seem to care about who comes into or leaves the airport so long as they are paying a whole lot of money to get something fixed on their airplane. The rest I copied and pasted from a response to a completely different Pelini sighting rumor. Like I was saying in that previous thread everything out there floating around seems to have morphed together into stories with lots of little things that sound plausible to the average person when they are all joined together.

 

I am growing tired of all the rumors that come from friends of friends, etc....why can't anyone ever bring info from the horses mouth....why is there always a friend or associate, or relative, or whatever involved?

 

Because on stories like this the people who would have some information (at least concerning airport operations) like myself are pretty much telling it like it is which is that nothing happened which is boring. Believe me this topic of discussion is HUGE around here and people are definitely watching for ANYTHING that might be noteworthy. I'm actually wishing it was the off season already so something else gets talked about while at work. Sometimes I think about starting rumors just for the fun of it because I know enough about how things work around here to throw in some facts that are verifiable which means "if some of it's true then it's all true" to a lot of people. I would rather debunk some of the background noise though which might make something that is actually true easier to identify out of all the stories swirling around.
