Nexus Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 Is it safe to give him this moniker yet? Or something else along those lines? Afterall he's 3-0 as a HC in bowl games. Quote Link to comment
WVhuskerXX Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 I still think its a little to early for that... Quote Link to comment
HuskerfaninOkieland Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 To me it sounds too eerily close to "Big Game Bob" Stoops and we all know how well he/OU does in BCS games Quote Link to comment
JTrain Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 "Bowl Pelini" Other than the mid-nineties heyday, I don't know if TO won three bowls in a row. Frank and Cally certainly didn't. Quote Link to comment

I like that moniker even better. FWIW, Pelini is the 1st Husker HC to win his first 3 bowl games. Devaney, Osborne & Solich went 2-1 in their first 3 tries. Quote Link to comment
WVhuskerXX Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 That is great..."Bowl Pelini"...love it Quote Link to comment
jjamuss Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 To be fair... weren't Bob and TO the HC the ENTIRE SEASON in their first 3 bowl games? Bowl Pelini has a nice ring to it though... PUNN INTENDED! Quote Link to comment
JTrain Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 I looked it up. Longest streaks by coach (I count Bo's as a streak since he wasn't around 2004-2007, not by his choosing). 4: Devaney (69-72, his last four) 4: Osborne (94-97, his last four) 3: Pelini (03, 08-pres.) 2: Twice for Osborne, once for Devaney, once for Solich Quote Link to comment

PUNN INTENDED! True. I guess it requires an asterisk. It just happened by circumstance that Pelini snagged his first HC win at NU in a bowl game. Quote Link to comment

sd'sker Posted December 31, 2009 Share Posted December 31, 2009 i think it is impressive he has 3 bowl wins has head coach when he has only been head coach for 2 years, not many people can say that. Quote Link to comment

NU doesnt put up with coaches that cant cut the mustard, i.e. CallaCANT As much as I dreaded the Ped-a-han years, it was a very humbling experience to say the least. I now know what Oklahoma went through in the 90's. I feel like Pelini is our Bob Stoops heading into the new decade. In a way, it was a blessing in disguise what we went through this decade. At least from where we're standing right now, the future looks pretty bright. Quote Link to comment
Micheal Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 definitely agree with Nexus. going through the previous coaching regime. like he said its "humbling". makes you be thankful for what a special thing this team is, to the University, to the state. It makes you appreciate things more, especially moments like these. 2009 Holiday Bowl Champions, I like it. And on the subject of Bowl Game Bo or Bowl Pelini. I think I like Bowl Pelini between the two. But lets save it for the future. Quote Link to comment
