Pr Faux Pas By Nebraska Hc

DFWBigMac · January 5, 2011

Saw this just a bit ago.

So is this much ado about nothing or a PR black-eye?

Overly dramatic? Absolutely...but she does have a point!

A man's word is his bond. Let your yes, be yes and your no, be no.

This guy just continues to prove what a joke of a person he is. Its one thing if they're down 3,7,10 points in the 4th quarter and he just can't make it happen. Its quite another to try and blow it off and excuse it as some sort of joke. Between this and the A&M blow up and the way he treats his QB, this guy will find himself in the same line of work as Mike Leach soon.

Pellini is just a damn jackass.

Wow that story was hard to read. For those of you who don't want to read 20 paragraphs before getting to the premise, here is an abbreviated story:

Pellini made a Navy Officer an honorary captain and made the mistake of saying he could call a play during the Holiday Bowl. Nebraska got beat and the Navy Officer never got to call a play. The reporter was outraged and made a bigger deal about it than it was and now the Navy Officer is sad and the coach looks bad.

Sorry for not warning ya man!

Was VERY over-dramatic and long!

My apologies! :bow:

I heard the kid traded Pellini his Congressional medal of honor for a kidney. Pellini waffled on the agreement and now a national hero will die.

Texas at Nebraska?

the kid did realize this past year's game was at Nebraska right?

just another spoiled fan buying into all the crap NU is spreading around

no big deal. just don't let it happen again.

I have heard that the Big 10 has told Pelini that they will not put up with his tirades during games like the Big 12 did. Heard it on one of the sport talk shows, can't remember which.

Pelini is a walking faux pas factory. If Nebraska does not contend for the Big X title or they have a substandard OOC record, he won't see the end of next season.

This just reminds me that this board is not the only place that is devoid of legitimate football news this time of year.

Baby Arm! · January 6, 2011

Nebraska fans are busy right now circling the wagons and trying to figure out some way to blame Texas for this bruha-ha

It really is truly a shame that such a great fanbase has had to deal with two absolute jokes of head coaches in Bill Callahan and now Bo Pelini. Pelini is such a jerk that I knew several Longhorn fans that openly cheered for the SOONERS to beat Nebraska in the Big XII Championship game last month because they just hate that guy and his immature act so much. To me, Nebraska football fans, as a whole, are among the best in the country, but they have really had to settle for two ridiculous coaches over the last 5-6 years.
