Street Novelist Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 GOOD! good for Carl...the whole call was bullsh#t and everyone knows it..If the situation were reversed and Nebraska was down, they wouldn't have added 1 second back on the clock. Did everyone see how surprised the Texas fans were when they added the one second back? Everyone believed the game was over; because it was. If I were Carl, I would have felt the same way.

Karawithasmile Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Does anyone have an ESPN "in" account? They have an article that's titled "Rumors: Latest on Carl Pelini's Texas tirade." I'm sure more than one of us would love to know said article's contents. Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment
DCHusker Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Even if you think adding one second back to the clock was the wrong call, yelling "You should be ashamed to accept that trophy" at Texas is completely unacceptable and unsportsmanlike. Go after the officials, not the opposing players. If the roles were reversed and Mack Brown were yelling something like that everyone on here would be talking about how trashy and classless he is.

Glendower Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 His emotions burst. “You should be ashamed to accept that trophy!” the NU defensive coordinator yelled, pointing at the Longhorns. “You outta be ashamed to accept that trophy!” he screamed again, then again. Seconds later, his younger brother erupted, too. Bo Pelini had played it cool walking off the field, telling Texas coaches to go win a national title. I'm sorry but that is classless. /shakes head. I love this staff and the direction they are taking the program in, but that is classless right there and a poor example to set for the players. If we should win, let it be by the code... If we should lose...let our coaches not yell out the other team. Poor decision by the officials or not, that was extremely poor showing by the coaches, if these accounts are true. Did you miss the part that said that it happened in the tunnel? He didn't yell it on the field, in front of any UT players, fans-- it was in the tunnel and off the field. It just happened that someone reported on it. Quote Link to comment
dubsker Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Really like this part by Tom Osborne "As Osborne reached Beebe, the commissioner extended his hand. But Osborne didn't shake it." Grace and class. Isn't there a down player you should be punching in the back somewhere? Quote Link to comment

HuskerTrucker Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 The clock has struck midnight, they are not going to change anything. If Bo had not been directly involved on the field with his players, and had been sitting at home watching any other game with this happening, he would have agreed with the call. However, McCoy being so damn bone headed should take him right out of the running for any Heisman. He almost lost this game single handedly by lofting the ball so far when he could have just thrown it into the ground. It was a totally stupid play on his part, he was totally unaware of the game clock. Quote Link to comment
lilred Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Bo and Carl are fine by me. Getting pissed is just who they are, and I love them for it. This program is absolutely in the right hands. This is personal for Bo. He is going to do absolutely everything he can to destroy each and every team. We'll be doing that before long. It's evident how much he cares about this team. I really believe Bo will go down as one of our all time greats. Quote Link to comment
husker B-rent Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 id be pissed off too!!!! i have watched that play on my dvr 10+ times as well as in super slow motion on my computer and i can tell you that the play clock was at 0 when the ball hit. thats as simple as it is. Quote Link to comment
irafreak Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Yep. Every right to complain and I'll say it again. Carl didn't say this into a microphone. This isn't mark mangino accusing officials of throwing the game...publicly. The guy was upset and had every right to be. If this happened against a team like virginia tech or maybe oklahoma I might be upset but texass deserves every bad thing said about them. Quote Link to comment
