Bo Pelini on the Jim Rome show tomorrow. 09/01

Without listening to the show, here's my recap:

Rome welcomed Bo to the show, told him how much he respects Bo and the work he's doing there, and that it's great having him on. Rome asked Bo how balled up he was for the new season, and Bo said he was pretty excited, his players have been working hard, and he sees some good things out there.

Rome asked about the QB issue, because it's a hot issue right now, and Bo said they're still making evaluations and they'll let everyone know when the time is right. Bo said he's seen some good things from all the guys, but there are things they all have to clean up/work on/etc.

Rome mentioned the looming Texas game and Bo brushed it off, saying that's for the press to worry about, that right now he's focusing his team on the task at hand, and that stuff will all play itself out eventually. Rome brought up the :01 from the CCG and Bo said it affected him at the time but he's over it. Bo probably said something respectful about Mack Brown.

Rome asked about the defense, if it would be as good as last year without Big Suh, and Bo talked about his three-year plan and how he sees a lot of things coming together.

Finally, Rome wished Bo good luck on the season and made positive comments about Nebraska's chances this year, and how great it was that they're moving to the Big 10 next year. Long-distance man-hugs, and that was it.

Bo signed off, Rome told everyone how Bo is a class act, and said "clones" about 87 times.

 
Bo's on now, clarifying what he meant by saying "Nebraska's back" - saying that we have the opportunity to compete with anyone now.

 
Jim: The million dollar question: who's gonna start at QB on Saturday?

Bo: Well, wait til Saturday and you'll find out.

Bo said the guy at QB is going to know and have enough time to prepare, and used the 'circus' line again.

Now Rome's moving on to Texas.

Jim: Where do you rank Texas and Nebraska, Oct 16th, in terms of big games?

Bo: Well, I think it's just another game...it's not gonna be about (Big 12 CCG last year)...if you focus on it like that you're going to mess up somewhere else along the way.

Now Rome didn't mention 0:01, but he's moving on to Suh rippin Delhomme's head off.

Knapp, on the money so far.

Bo hung up on Jim! Ha. Jim kept talking when he thought Bo was still on the line, but Bo had already signed off. They were talking about giving Jim a sideline pass to a game.
