Sipple Q&A with Pelini

[sd'sker]

how does winning a conf. champ equate to performing at 'bama levels?

 

[Saunders]

I'd like to see Sipple and Dirk write an article from the exact same interview with Bo. Would be interesting to see how they turned out.

they do after every game - and we see how those turn out

True, but I meant a more open interview, than a PC.

Ah I see. So when it's something you want to agree with, he's being honest. When it's not, he's lying.

Just wanted to know where you're coming from.

Irony

just always assume he is lying.

I do.

Yep, he's gotten everything he wants, except that recruiting staff (ala Alabama) that he's been begging for and the admin is still dragging it's feet on. Again, words and actions, but lets not let that fact or common sense get in the way of Polo's witchhunt.

Ask yourself this question,

Has Bo Pelini ever shown a talent of opening his mouth to speak on a topic he is passionate about, stopping, pondering what he's about to say, thinking better of it, then saying a nice, politically neutral comment that won't make waves?

Or is this all something I've thought up in my underground liar as the best way to start the groupthink that Pelini needs to be banished to Room 101?

Personally NU polo 8; I would rather have Bo's honest words come out wrong and offend some people than to hear the used car salesman Billy C lie to your face and do things differently behind your back.

I cleaned up a bunch of "you" posts in this thread. Stick to the subject. If you want to talk about the people in the conversation, do it in the Woodshed.

Actually, I would too. But I don't think Dirk would get the pass into the same room with Bo. Nor do I think Dirk would agree to let Bo edit what he wrote.

Even speaking hypotheticals, they're diametrically opposed. Sip would try to make Bo look like Mother Theresa while Dirk would go for the "worse than Hitler" angle. It's their schtick. Sipple won't ruffle feathers while Dirk has been just short of trolling at times.

I prefer McKewon (over all of them) followed up by Shatel.

I truly do not get the Chatelain "trolling" accusation. Maybe I'm wrong, but I thought his biggest error was attacking Taylor post 2011 Wisconsin, then baiting Bo the next week after Ohio St. But did he not apologize for that in his article right after? Who knows, either way, if there's a Sipple, I'm glad there's a Dirk.

McKeon is also good, but it feels like he's being wasted.

He apologized in the same way that Bo did after tapegate (ugh). His turnover project last year, or recruiting one this year were fantastic. His style of writing just reeks of smugness when he's not delving into numbers or history. He also does it on twitter all the time too (trolling Nebrasketball fans). He does it just to get a rise.

I'm telling mom.......

MOM!

Dude, be cool!

It's alright, she didn't hear, she upstairs sleeping. I'm still in my basement being an Internet tough guy, eating a bag of Doritos, and I just realized I haven't changed my shirt or underwear in four days.

Sounds about right.

Should reporters be allowed to publish pieces about practice rep tendencies, formations, trick plays, etc.?

Absolutely not. That's how I interpreted his comment's about not reporting what they see. Remember Sean Fisher's injury was all over twitter and media guys were calling his family while they were at the hospital?

I'm guessing that's what he's alluding to.

Probably not. Plus what would they hope to gain?

Exactly how I interpreted it also. Some choose to see things in Fox News-like slant, against common sense.

I hope that's what he meant - and not that they aren't allowed to evaluate the QB race for fear that it will hurt one of the guys' feelings and he won't compete hard enough.

About the only time I can think of is before the 2011 PSU game.

But then again, I don't care. It's better than the prepared coach speak we normally get, i.e., the stuff in this article.

Either way, it doesn't make anything he said in this article true. Remember, Taylor was fine, his ankle/knee/foot were just fine. Yeah, I believe everything that comes out of Bo's mouth, well unless it doesn't fit my narrative (cough,cough).

Exactly. If a coach allows them to report on things like that, why not just let them print the play call sheet in the Sports section of Saturday morning papers?
