tattooedhusker Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Just because the athletic department released a statement that I am sure did not come out of Pelini's mouth, I will not join in on the jock riding. Quote Link to comment
Junior Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Shouldn't the thread title be "Bo Pelini begrudgingly signs off on a press release and refuses to stand in front of a camera to apologize"? 3 Quote Link to comment
beanman Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Shouldn't the thread title be "Bo Pelini begrudgingly signs off on a press release and refuses to stand in front of a camera to apologize"? Yeah, I'm sure he wrote it himself. Quote Link to comment
knapplc Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 The majority of fans have stuck with Bo through all six years of this wild ride, but that support is not endless, and for many this latest bunghole display was, if not the very last straw, damned close to it. Bo has brought kids to this program who represent it very, very well. Kids we can be proud of. But his own behavior has left MUCH to be desired, nearly every year he's been here, as recently as the last 24 hours. These boilerplate apologies don't cut it anymore. They don't equal the magnitude of the wrong. It is disingenuous to expect "the fans" to come back and support this product time after time when these kinds of incidents keep happening. If Bo really wants the fans behind him, he needs to build up loyalty with the fans, starting now. That means going above and beyond to specifically and intentionally support the fans whose support he expects. I'll be there next year in the stands, wearing red, shouting my ass off and leaving the game hoarse, all seven games. But I will not be there supporting Bo, because I don't think for one second Bo supports me. I'll be there supporting Nebraska Athletics, the sellout streak, the players and my fellow Husker fans. 7 Quote Link to comment

I feel like we could create a fun madlibs for Bo Pelini press releases. "I want to say _________ to all of the fans. My behavior was _________ and is not ___________ of what I stand for. Nebraska has _______ fans. I look forward to _________ Nebraska in the future". 1 Quote Link to comment

Well said. If Pelini is smart at all, he will go have a sit down with Tim Miles and take some lessons on how to deal with people. Quote Link to comment

whateveritis1224 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Man, I hope we play Texas in the bowl game. A win over Texas could bring us all together and at least get us through the offseason without wanting to kill eachother. There is so much truth in this it isn't even funny. A common enemy will get our attentions focused in the right direction. Quote Link to comment
I am I Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 Devnet: Name another coach who's seen this type of circus chief? Go ahead...name another coach and program....you can't because there isn't another. This is it. Joe Paterno lane Kiffin got fired in an airport lounge, after a "vote of confidence" 2 years in a row Woody Hayes, anyone? Charlie Weiss was a pretty ungraceful exit from ND Quote Link to comment
