HuskerfaninOkieland Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 I still want to see anyone wearing a Blackshirt earn it from this point. I don't want them just handed out to every starter on the defense. I think we will have our Blackshirts back...but the feeling of being earned needs to return with them. He made it clear to the players in their pre-presser meeting that all the players are going to start with a clean slate and he didn't care how many stars you had when you were recruited. Something I think the fans have been wanting to see for quite a while now Quote Link to comment
HuskerCuse Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Total defense LSU - '06 - 3rd LSU - '05 - 3rd OU - '04 - 13 NU - '03 - 11 I cannot for the life of me figure out what LSU fans' problem is with the job he did. Quote Link to comment
bennychico11 Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 wait...so you're telling me that we might actually be able to stop the run up the middle this next year? wow! I didn't know that was even possible. Next you'll be telling me we might be able to see the Huskers defend a pitch or option play. Quote Link to comment
clone Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 I'm pretty sure he didn't produce those numbers with the present NU roster. Quote Link to comment
tattooedhusker Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 we'll see if he can though Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 I'm pretty sure he didn't produce those numbers with the present NU roster. No, but he produced the #11 defense in the nation with the guys from the 2003 roster, who finished 55th in the nation that year. The following year the same crew was #56. So: 55 to 11 to 56. That's most likely not a coincidence. Quote Link to comment
Dundermifflinite Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 One thing I know and a few I've heard about Bo Pelini... Fact: In his five years of collegiate coaching, teams he has assisted on/coordinated and coached are 56-10. Rumors that I have heard: (Things that can't be confirmed but are probably true) He has counted to infinity, twice He doens't sleep, he only waits The movie Jurassic Park was actually a true story, except when the dinosaurs got out of hand, the government just sent in Bo Pelini with a slingshot...it took him eight hours.

papersun87 Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 I've heard that Bo Pelini can divide by zero. Quote Link to comment

walksalone Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 I'm looking forward to people being scared of us again. That's what's been missing for the past 4 years. Nobody's been afraid of us, nobody. I think he can get us back on track to where we should have been in 2003... Quote Link to comment
rawhide-jr Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 Brokeback Mountain is not a movie, it's the pile of dead ninjas on Bo's lawn... Before he goes to bed, the boogieman checks his closet for Bo Pelini... Quote Link to comment

If I remember correctly, Pelini was big on, if you don't earn it you don't get it, if you get it, and don't earn it every week you'll lose it. I read it somewhere that this is what he did the year that he was here Quote Link to comment

I read it somewhere that this is what he did the year that he was here The year he was here, after the Missouri game when we got beat 41-24 Pelini took the Blackshirts away. The next Saturday, the defense forced EIGHT turnovers as we walloped Texas A&M. Quote Link to comment
Husker8up Posted December 3, 2007 Share Posted December 3, 2007 He may not win every game...but f***...Huskers will never quit under Bo. That's all I ask. Play your ass off every minute, win or lose, and fans will respect that. Losses suck...but giving up and never having a shot in hell in the first place is unacceptable. Quote Link to comment
