Hunter94 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Bo gets paid millions to coach and control his emotions......the way he was eyeing the press, you would think he just took a cut in pay. Quote Link to comment
California Husker Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 The media sucks. I was going to try to come up with some clever way of making my point.....but they just suck. To steal a title from a Jim Carrey movie, they come in two types...dumb and dumber. It's no wonder Bo hates the media. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 This is a perfect example of what I'm talking about. Bo spoke to the press for just under five minutes after practice today, giving injury reports and several other tidbits, but the Omaha World Herald is focusing mostly on the part we're talking about here. Chatelain just tweeted about it: dirkchatelain Dirk Chatelain Thoughts on Bo Pelini post-practice session? tinyurl.com/4386s6x The story isn't the reporters, or how they feel about Bo's demeanor toward them, or anything of the sort. The story right now should be about Ohio State. Instead we have to talk about the press, and how Bo treats the press, and if this is OK, and blah blah blah blah blah. Quote Link to comment
Blackshirt39 Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Bo's is getting really close to having a top ten coach meltdown moment. Think "I'm a man, a forty year-old man. I can take it" type of meltdown. But better It wouldn't surprise me if Bo went off like that on the media. And honestly, Gundy wasn't wrong when he chewed that reporter's a$$ out either. When the reporter kept pressing the issue after the first question, I thought Bo was gonna shoot lasers out of his eyes. Quote Link to comment

knapplc Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 According to Chatelain, again via Twitter, the reason he left that link is it's the only video of the "presser" that he's aware of, since he didn't attend today's practice. Since I know Dirk reads HuskerBoard, as a public service I'll provide this link: JournalStar video of today's post-practice presser. Quote Link to comment

NoKoolAidForME Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Bo tried to play dumb in the beginning like he didnt know what the reporter was reffering to by rallying around Martinez. Then it became obvious that he was upset by the media. The report tried to take a stab saying Taylor was unphased by the media knowing fully well that it has been tough for Taylor to deal with. Bo needs to realize that these are the thing that media will do and not continue to fall into the trap. A simple yes his teammates rally around him just as the coaching staff does while we prepare for OSU sets the tone and leads the inteview back to practice and the game. Quote Link to comment

The Maudfather Posted October 7, 2011 Share Posted October 7, 2011 Theres the old Bo coming out. I guess we can expect a hand in hand tunnel walk led by Taylor onto the field for this game. When was the last game we did this? IIRC, it was against Iowa State in 09....we know how that game turned out. I hope we don't walk out arm in arm. Quote Link to comment

That's rich. Bo was wrong, the press was right. This may come as a shock to you - the media are paid professionals, too. And many local writers could use a refresher in journalistic integrity and objectivity. Bo may not be 100% in the right, but he's not the only one that's in the wrong. Nor did he create the situation that led to this part of the presser, that was a reporter in Monday's presser. If we expect Bo to be held to certain standards, and we expect college football players to be held to certain standards, why don't we expect the same from our press corps? Quote Link to comment
