Ya. 'Cause I'm sure that's the only thing Bo ever said. Lolol.

 

Maybe not, but that one soundbyte is usually what some people solely base their opinion on.

Is there other "proof" of Bo saying he hates all Nebraska fans?

 

Let's vilify some and redirect blame for faults of others based on assumptions and hyperbole. lolol

 

 

 

You guys can quibble all you want about Bo creating or not creating a toxic atmosphere surrounding the team. Personally I don't give much credence to guys now saying it wasn't that bad. You know how bad it was? Bad enough that a perennial 9 win coach got fired for it. Guessing that's a pretty good indicator that things weren't all sunshine and roses.

How bad was it in 1978 when another perennial 9 win coach was almost fired? I guess that's a pretty good indicator that some people's definition/expectation/tolerance for sunshine and roses can be skewed.

 

Or you could say the difference between Pelini and Osborne was not getting fired.

 

In truth, Osborne was not almost fired in 1978, but considered the Colorado job because he didn't think he was being appreciated enough at Nebraska.

 

It remains unknown whether Tom ever called Bob Devaney a kunt.

 

So there's that.

 

"In truth"?

Nice to see someone being truthful, instead of making statements based on assumptions and hyperbole.

 

In truth, Osborne himself said a regent pulled him aside after the Bluebonnet bowl and told him if he hadn't won he would have been fired. Is Osborne lying?

 

In truth, there is a big difference between AD Devaney's regard for Osborne than there was AD Eichorst's regard for Pelini. Perhaps Devaney and Osborne had a pre-existing relationship prior to their AD/HC occupational situation?

 

It remains unknown if Osborne would not have called Devaney a kunt after Devaney had fired Osborne.

 

It also remains unknown to some if apples are equal to oranges.

 

So there's that.

 

You do know Osborne was on Devaneys staff right?

And perhaps ADSE had a reason to hold Pelini in such regard. I think this whole thing should be over and move on. I really think that Pelinis personality and they way he did things did rub off on players but I also think that these young men are growing and learning new things. They are smart kids and I think this is one of those things fans need to get through the offseason, and I suppose for some to try to draw lines

Yes, they were different people in different situations. The comparison/contrast of TO and BP proves nothing other than they are not the same person.

Thank you for understanding that.

Agreed. There's plenty of proven and legitimate things that Pelini did poorly that give credence for firing him.

I don't understand why some people continue to draw lines of extrapolation and claim as evidence/proof things that didn't actually or necessarily happen.

Tom Osborne was a better coach than Bo Pelini and handled his responsibilities as a representative of the University and state much better.

Thank you for stating the obvious. Perhaps you should keep that in mind and realize that comparisons of TO and BP are futile and prove nothing, other than they are not the same person, nor were they in even remotely similar situations.

 

 

That might be the notable difference you're looking for.

I wasn't looking for the difference. I always knew where it was. I wasn't sure if you or some others knew.

 

If you were trying to point out that fans also got impatient with Tom Osborne's string of oddly unsatisfying 9 win seasons, you'll get no argument from me.

Thank you for proving me right.

Yeah. When you really want to deliver the dagger, it's hard to top Winnie-the-Pooh.
