The Boosters and Alumni???

[Dr. Mantis Toboggan]

Has anyone heard anything from the Boosters/Alumni regarding the Wisconsin game? I know they played a big role in getting BC out of town and getting TO in at the AD position. I didn't know if they are allowed to talk about these kind of issues.

But I find it odd that we haven't heard much reaction from the big money folks. Is that a good thing or a bad thing for Bo?

Like I said, I am not familiar with this base of folks who seem to have a big influence when things go south with the coaching staff.

That guy in North Platte called, boy is he pissed...

I have no clue. I haven't really cared until recently. I always thought the AD made the proper decisions. I guess I am naïve and wrong about that title and concept. Apparently one of the richer dudes has the most financial influence and also became a good friend of Bo's. Hawk or something? If I understand that correctly. Which tells me that a non-football guy with money is the reason why an average first timer head football coach is about to go into his 8th year here.

If I have misread something please correct me if I am wrong.

Major donors aren't going to say anything publicly and never will. Those mid tier boosters that need their ego's stroked might say something though.

You are right, it was something like this, if you believe the stories. I guess a Regent from Omaha also runs Bo's charity, and a donor (Hawks?) stuck up for him last year. Yes the top donors can steer a program, if the AD needs a buy out and the money isn't there then no one is fired. When BC was canned I guess TO and others flew to Texas to smooth it over with a big donor that was a friend and supporter of BC.

To the OP as others have said the big time $$$ people dont really say much, they are in the circle and want to stay there.

Unless it comes from Bo's salt-water aquarium guy, everything is just rumor

Take it to the bank, that guy was super legit... IBR needs to return with his stories of the inside...

I know Pelini got his Golden Retriever from the same breeder my aunt got hers from. Maybe I should ask their breeder.

Any truth to the rumor that Bo can't keep the dog from running all over the backyard?

When he does run off Bo tries to catch him, but the dog just ends up knocking him over

If his kids would execute the plan they could catch him. But they didnt execute, so they failed.
