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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

      @Censored by Laurie is correct. McNeese St is 0-2 in D1 games this year but those are a 7 point loss to South Dakota State and an 8 point loss to Alabama. They finished 56th in NET last year so if they run their conference again, this will likely end up a Quad 1 win. They just need to finish top 75 with it being a road game. Exciting times.

      Minnesota (11/13/24)

      Meanwhile we finished higher than Minnesota in NET last year. Actually they haven't finished higher than us since 2020. Was this post on Twitter?

      Minnesota (11/13/24)

      Mike Mitchell Jr. was out. He's a starter and Minnesota could've really used his shooting. Not as familiar with the other players but they're reserves. This game was a big data point for the Massie over Newell position!

      Awesome win! The only bad part was the commentary from the TV announcers. They confused Newell and Lorient for an extended period of time, stated that Atin Wright originally played at Washington State, and clearly barely knew anything about our program. The play by play announcer gave major 'and boom goes the dynamite' vibes. Some thoughts on the game: - The defense was stellar as we've all come to expect. Delo and Massie were great playing multiple matchups. - Minnesota came out and blitzed our PnRs. We really struggled with the pressure. Eventually we started slipping screens and setting brush screens to counteract it. - Trey Edmonds in the second half forced us to play big. He has a grown man body. Hodge settled on a Lorient/Sissoko combination to match Garcia/Edmonds. - An extended run with a Floyd/Walker/Massie/Lorient/Sissoko lineup including to close the game aside from situational subs. Before the season I would've been shocked that this lineup would close a win on the road against a Big Ten school because of the offense. The spacing was predictably an adventure. Massie wasn't efficient but he kind of made the lineup 'work'. He shows handling, passing, and court awareness in the half court. Feels like he could turn into a secondary ball handler in lineups. - Atin Wright had a meh game by his standards, but still really excited about him this season. He's a bit of a showman and I love it. After getting fouled in transition, he slapped the ball away from the defender and stared at him. On Lorient's massive jam at the end of the game, you can see him standing over Edmonds (who was on the ground). GMG
