junior4949 Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 THIS JUST IN: My friend the aquarium dude text'd me and said that they had worked out a possible solution for the fish transport and that it was looking like a "go." The lady was pretty adamant that there be a salt water fish place in Lincoln to look after the aquarium once it is set up. So give this another 24 hours. If Bo is announced, you can assume that they got the aquarium situated. Good grief, salt water fish aren't made of glass. My neighbor has had them for 10+ years out here in the sticks of Western Nebraska. There isn't anything special you need to do other than keep their water warm enough and the salt content within the limits. You do not need a salt water aquarium specialist. I will give you credit though. IMO, this rumor takes the cake. Quote Link to comment

HuskerfaninOkieland Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 LOL....this sounds as bad as our board did before we got our coach! I feel your pain, fellas! Hey Ag! Congrats on your new hire! Long time no see Quote Link to comment
Husker Runner Posted November 27, 2007 Share Posted November 27, 2007 Good grief, salt water fish aren't made of glass. My friend's sister's roommate is a Salt Water Aquarium Maintainer (Certified SWAM). Guess who is one of her customers? That's right, the Pelini family! Here is a picture of the Pelini Fish: Quote Link to comment
toothlessHusker Posted November 28, 2007 Author Share Posted November 28, 2007 OK Here's the latest... Apparently the transport of the aquarium is more dicey than originally thought - not only does Mrs. Pelini want a climate controlled truck for the aquarium (that's a given), but now she also wants air suspension so the tank doesn't get repeatedly jolted on the trip. That's a major problem, my friend is working on it. Unless he can get this solved - and quickly - the Pelinis have said "hold everything." Believe what you want, but this aquarium thing is throwing a wrench into this whole process, which is likely why Dr. Tom is scheduling other interviews. I will let everyone know when I find out more.

HuskerTrucker Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 LOL....this is getting hilarious!! Now we are going to the fish store to find out who the next football coach is. I love it.... Quote Link to comment
toothlessHusker Posted November 28, 2007 Author Share Posted November 28, 2007 OK here's the latest... this is according to my friend who takes care of the aquarium... Bo apparently blew a gasket when he found out his wife's latest demands, and yelled and threw down his LSU cap accusing her of stalling the process. She bitch slapped him and that's the last I've heard at this point. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 No matter what anyone says, this thread is just so, so funny. Toothless, you're a peach and a gem for giving us this absolutely brilliant info. Please, continue. Quote Link to comment
melscott62 Posted November 28, 2007 Share Posted November 28, 2007 from college, and he said Bo's wife called yesterday a.m. and asked if the salt water fish would survive a move of over 750 miles. Apparently they had finally gotten the aquarium established and even had some of those little creatures that eat gunk off of the other fish. So take that for what it's worth. I don't know much about aquariums, but the survival of these fish was apparently very important, and could query the deal with Pelini. salt water aquarium guy? must have been this guy TCHD1aPCcx4 aa7SQz8yVEg Quote Link to comment
toothlessHusker Posted November 30, 2007 Author Share Posted November 30, 2007 LATEST UPDATE: My friend the salt water aquarium guy just text'd me to give me an update. What the Pelinis are debating is the deal about the live coral in the tank. Apparently this stuff is just real sensitive to temperature changes and your basic jossling around in a truck for 700-800 miles. I don't have any experience with the stuff so take that for what it's worth. It could be that the lival coral just stays behind in Baton Rouge and they turn it back to the aquarium shop or simply find a new owner by running a simple classified advertisement on Craigslist. You guys might laugh at all this but people get real serious about pets - especially when you consider that coral is really kind of considered endangered I think and it's not good to mess with it. Anyway, I wouldn't necessarily give up on Bo yet. It is very possible that they will arrive at a decision as soon as this weekend and then we can get this program back where it belongs.

toothlessHusker Posted November 30, 2007 Author Share Posted November 30, 2007 Idiot I don't see calling Pelini an idiot. He is just trying to make the right decision for his family, and that includes the things his family enjoys and dearly loves. Who are we to sit in judgement when in fact we know full well if the shoe was on the other foot we would react just the same! Quote Link to comment
