Can Bo Pelini Save Nebraska

10 Questions going into Spring Ball

 

8) Can Bo Pelini save Nebraska?

 

For longtime Nebraskans, this could have been the longest winter of their lives. In a state where Huskers football is a way of life, how does one fight off the depression that comes with enduring a horrifically embarrassing 5-7 season that saw one opponent score 76 points, another 65, and resulted in the dismissal of both a coach (Bill Callahan) and athletic director (Steve Pederson).

 

Legendary coach Tom Osborne was brought back to hire the new coach, and Pelini, the defensive coordinator for last year's national champion, LSU, and a highly popular figure in the state based off his season as Nebraska's coordinator (2003), was his hand-picked choice. Now, the 40-year-old begins the unenviable task of cleaning up the mess left behind by his disastrous predecessor -- and, hopefully, putting some smiles back on peoples' faces.

 

 

Nothing we haven't heard a thousand times already, but hey, figured why not post it.

How many sports publications and sports journalists can take the exact same story and reword it to make it sound fresh and new? That seems to be the case.

 

Seriously, this is going to be the longest offseason and I'm already kinda sick of the question: Can Pelini save Nebraska?

I BELIEVE

Quite frankly I'm so stoked about the new staff, TO being back etc. I've all but forgotten last season and what's his name and that other guy and the one they sent packing early........................

I do think a lot of the national media will be watching Nebraska to see what Pelini can do.

Ok, so we all are ready and believe....this is becoming redundant. We need a section for this kind of stuff...like we had rumorville...we could call it something like "Praise for Bo".
