NU is obviously ...I think Husker Mike is right on. NU is obviously interested in getting rid of the “bath water” -- and if they manage that, it's probably in NU's best interest to keep the baby. Perhaps a silly metaphor (or too close to home... whatever), but the Pelinis have demonstrated commitment to the program. And they seem to be on the track to bring NU back to relevance. I like the passion, but not to the extent they exuded at the A&M game. <br /><br />With a mild-tempered Colorado game behind us, it looks like whatever was said to Bo actually worked (though he wasn't tested much, for sure). If he survives the B12 Champ game with grace, I'm willing to give him a pass.<br /><br />And to Count Istvan regarding "standing silently," I'm sure Coach Osborne never apologized for being wronged. He also had earned the respect of the refs and no one ever attributed any conspiracy theories about penalties against NU stemming from his silence. Pelini asked for those penalties at A&M by running his yap; obviously BS calls, but he has no one to blame for that loss but himself.<br /><br />The key is how you handle adversity. "With grace" is the gold standard as far as I'm concerned. Osborne was a freak of stoicism -- but the beautiful thing about his last 5 years was when things were going right, there were no huge outbursts. He effectively was saying: "That's the way I drew it up. Of course we scored a touchdown." <br /><br />I have an appreciation for a subdued end zone celebration. Hi-five? Fine. But since the goal is to score, just act like you were supposed to be there (because that's where you ARE supposed to be). Business as usual. The massive outward displays in the end zone make it look like it's your first trip there, and you really didn't expect it to happen. "Wild celebration! Woo hoo! This could be our last time here! Let's party!" No thanks. In any event….<br /><br />Pelinis: please don't lose your edge. Just be more judicious in how you use it.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10456918657830955088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13652090.post-828992242981834772010-11-23T17:30:37.473-06:002010-11-23T17:30:37.473-06:00I can't believe all the sensitive idiots who a...I can't believe all the sensitive idiots who are calling for Bo's head. First we had Solich and he wasn't good enough. Then we had Callahan and he was too quiet and non-emotional. Now we have Pelini who has finally gotten the program up top 10 levels again and we say he has too much passion! People will never be satisfied. <br /><br />I've also got a strong feeling that everyone posting around on news articles on blogs as "Anonymous" are rogue Big 12 (Texas) fans trying to stir up the fire and cause more controversy. Please. They lecture us about class while they troll on our comment sections.<br /><br />And anyone who still backs Perlman can kiss my ass. He's the one who hired Callahan and Pedersen and gave them some hefty goodbye raises with our tax payer dollars. The guy doesn't even understand the basic concepts of football. If anyone wants to show Bo the light it has to be TO.Brandonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09986167020164659231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13652090.post-69539706512280573852010-11-22T17:36:25.007-06:002010-11-22T17:36:25.007-06:00I see the trolls are coming out of the woodwork.I see the trolls are coming out of the woodwork.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13652090.post-79731042888058589972010-11-22T14:30:51.221-06:002010-11-22T14:30:51.221-06:00I totally agree with the "anonymous" pos...I totally agree with the "anonymous" posting. Pelini must go. He has shown himself to be classless and NOT a true husker. I was born and raised in Nebraska and have been a husker fan for 50+ years. NEVER would this exhibit been displayed by any (except maybe Callahan and not a true husker either)Nebraska coach. Truly a sad day for husker fans everywhere. Dr. Tom and the chancellor need to give Mr. Pelini the pink slip!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10377642052624236315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13652090.post-71770631496705499722010-11-22T14:10:58.296-06:002010-11-22T14:10:58.296-06:00You have to be kidding me!

Bob Devaney never did this, Tom Osborne never did anything like this, Frank Solich....etc!<br />He has an anger issue and the loose cannon has finally backfired. Weld it shut and put it on the scrap pile where it belongs. This Woody Hayes coaching style has no place in Nebraska football. We have always been more classy then the Pelini's could ever be. There are plenty of great coaches past and present ( Landry, Dungy, Osborne, Vermeil,etc,etc) who coached not bullied.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13652090.post-82747766367685557572010-11-21T23:44:48.992-06:002010-11-21T23:44:48.992-06:00I'll say the same thing to you that I said in ...I'll say the same thing to you that I said in an email to Harvey Perelman. And keep in mind that I always enjoy your blog and normally agree with it, but I just don't get the blame the victim reaction to last night. Somehow even after the worst officiated game since the ending of the movie Friday Night Lights the fault has gone from the officials themselves to the victims of the crime. <br /><br />For a state that talks so much about it's values I didn't realize that standing silently and even apologizing for being wronged was one of them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
