Those of you who went to the game Saturday night, how was the video tribute to Gill?

I would like to see it, but can't find anything on You Tube. Anyone see this posted anywhere?

Thanks

 
Only in Nebraska would they have a video tribute for a coach on the opposing team. :moreinteresting

Was this T.O.’s way of saying “I love you Turner and wish I could have picked you to be Head Coach but the people with the cash that really call the shots didn’t want you they wanted Bo so I am going to make this video to say thanks for all your service here at NU even though you are the coach for the team we are about to play.” :dunno <_<

I find the whole thing odd, but I get why T.O. had them do it. I still think it is weird though. :blink:

It was a pretty short clip. It consisted of a few highlights of Turner and then Tom welcoming him back and and I think talking about what he meant to the university, but I couldn't hear to well in East stadium. (Audio upgrade please!)

Do you honestly believe we'd be where we are today as a program had TO hired Gill over Bo?

Exactly. Much as I love Turner, and I do, there's no way he would have us in the same position as Bo has us right now.

That is how I read this. What did you mean by the bold if not "I would have chosen you but others told me to hire Bo?"

 
the video looked good, didn't hear it too well from the south student section but. I thought it was a classy move by the Athletic Deparment and glad they did it. shows respect and gratitude.

 
They couldn't have Turner come back and say nothing. He's one of our most-loved sons. We absolutely had to make note of his return, and I thought they did it in a really classy way.

Not shocking, considering it was TO.

 
A few points. First off, Turner is a good coach. We don't know how it would have worked out, but we know that Turner is a good coach. Secondly, Osborne picked Bo because he thought defense was a priority. Tom is not a puppet for the people with the cash. Rather, TO is the man that the people with money trust to make the best decision for the university. Can you blame them? Lastly, although Bo is a very good coach and although we REALLY appreciate all that he has done for the program, it would be VERY lame not to acknowledge the good luck that Bo has enjoyed along the way. Alex's 57-yard field goal, Suh's hit on Gabbert, the injury to Bradford, this year's overtime interception. Every coach needs fortunate breaks. Bo is no different. Had those breaks gone against us, we would not enjoy the status we do now.
