Sure we got beat 48-17, 70-31, and 59-24 against Wisconsin, but let's not forget about these other gems in in back half of Bo's tenure

losing by 21 vs an 8-5 Iowa team in Lincoln

losing by 20 vs UCLA in Lincoln while being outscored 31-0 in the 2nd half

losing by 25 at Ohio St (which doesn't terrible bad until you see that OSU was a 4.5 point favorite)

losing by 6 at UCLA (which doesn't sound bad until you see that we gave up 650 yards, the 2nd most ever given up by a Nebraska defense)

losing by 28 at Michigan (Michigan was a 2.5 point favorite)

"Coach loses games" story at 10

 
Is there anyone in Nebraska Bo Pelini didn't meet? I met him half a dozen times. Everyone's description of him is pretty much the same - personable guy in person, a bit rough around the edges, but overall a good dude. I know a woman whose kids went to school with his kids and knew Bo better than most, and she really liked him. More anecdotes, I know, but they're mostly all the same.

I think everyone but Dirk Chatelain wanted Bo to succeed at Nebraska. I was against firing him. I think it was the right decision, in retrospect, regardless of the other decisions made afterwards.

Dirk had SUCH a hard on for Bo!

Also, can anyone name the 80's beach/boob movie that used the word "hard on" a lot...

So your thinking has finally come around. Congratulations!

 
Look, I know not having a game last Saturday makes for a stretch of diminished conversation content, but jumping Johnny the Jet on a pogo stick...I don't check in for a few days and we're back on Bo 408 Pelini? All because Hot Carl took a beat down from someone other than Melvin Gordon?

Everyone here should get commemorative special huskerboard branded plungers, cause we love bringing up old sh!t so much. 

I'm not Bob Diaco, and I approve this message
