Interesting fact.

bo could get fired because his brother may have done cocaine, but the mayor of toronto keeps his job after admitting to using crack cocaine?
Bo probably has some sort of code of conduct about reporting illegal behavior in his contract, just a hunch
i was being facetious. i thought that was obvious.

here is my hunch. it would be damn near impossible to prove carl was using cocaine while at nu. and even less likely to prove bo knew. it would be easier to just fire bo and pay the buyout.

 
I just exploded in my pants. What were we talking about again?
Holding Bo accountable for something his employee did 3,000 miles away. And likely did under his stead. You know, normal Real world stuff.

Edited for accuracy.
Link. Nothing is true on here without one.

Edit. Your post is garbage by the way. I don't care how bad of a coach you think someone is I think saying that it is likely he covered up a felony committed by his employee is way out of line.
That's find, but if you honestly, honestly think Carl Pelini did hit the Bolivian marching powder, and his first time doing it was out of the Cornhusker state and was in year 46 of his life.........well then I'd love to sell some slightly used bridges to,you
It is one thing to say that is what you think. That's why we are all here. Completely different to say that it is LIKELY that Bo covered up Carl's hypothetical coke addiction while Carl was employed at UNL.

 
I might be all alone here but I don't want Bo released for anything Carl might or might not have done. My first preference would be that Bo gets this team to play well the rest of the way this season and they win out or lose only 1 or 2 closely contesed games, and he keeps his job and shows considerable improvement next year. However, I have serious doubts that is what will happen. That leaves choices 2A and 2B; A- he is fired because of more mediocre showings and/or blowout losses or B- he quits because he sees the writing on the wall. Really my preference is for him to stay but only if we start doing something we can be proud of and not embarrassed by.

I was with you and respected your opinion until the last sentence. Maybe it's semantics and maybe I am reading this wrong, but I've only one time been embarrassed during Bo's time here and that was after Wisconsin in the CCG last season.

 
you are not alone, jj.
I would want nothing more for that to happen. Hell, I LIKE Bo Pelini, but what I don't like is 4 losses every single ******* year. The same stupid mental mistakes every ******* year. That one, knife twisting, loss to a team it should just steamroll every ******* year. That one (or two) embarrassing, ritual a$$ beating where the wheels completely fall off every ******* year.

And I'm really starting to despise the excuse " this is the best we can do managment wise" when I know that the commitment level from the university is to winning, what I see other programs do with the same obstacles Nebraska has and then some, and what I saw with my own flipping eyes across the entire athletic department not that long ago all prove otherwise.

And that's starting to happen every ******* day.

 
i agree, polo. i just think it would be ridiculous for bo to get fired for carl's hobbies. especially since carl was squeezed out anyway.

Missouri,and Oklahoma. 2008

Iowa State, 2009

Texas, Texas A&M, OU and the bowl game, 2010 (yep they should have ran the table that year)

Wisconsin, Northwestern at home, Michigan, Bowl game

Ohio St, UCLA, CCG, bowl game. (all pathetic efforts or a slaughter)

Lowering your standards might get you laid, but I don't recommend it for your alma mater.

I respect your opinion and losses piss me off as well. I am one of the most positive people here and I don't think anyone can deny that. I refuse to believe any school can beat us on Saturdays no matter what. The most frustrating thing to me is that we see the potential in my opinion only to be let down the next week. It gets tiresome for me because my belief is that our head coach CAN do it and our players CAN do it. The thing most a admirable is that we refuse to let some of the cheaters corrupt us. Not too long ago was one of our commit's moms given a job at an SEC school basically as leverage for him to switch his commitment. I want this program to represent everything that is still good about CFB and what I hope will be good again. My only question for you though is what other schools do better than us with the same obstacles.

The one currently laying a Beatdown to Oregon for starters. They might even have more obstacles than NU

We just have different standards and levels of expectation. Lots of people are content losing four games, being ranked around 20-35, playing Wyoming close, getting beat by Minnesota, and typically only playing about 2-2.5 quarters per game. I find all those things unacceptable and somewhat embarrassing. You sure don't have to if you don't want to. It's quite a bit easier for people to agree that 30+ point blowout losses are embarrassing- that's the easy stuff.

Well, this list pretty well covers every Pelini loss as head coach at Nebraska.
