But what are fans supposed to do? Should one just not show up, and put the sellout streak at risk, to voice displeasure. Should they just sit there quietly after quarters of trying to provide positive energy/cheering only to have it not result in improved plan (in the second half of that game, once the team started playing, the fans did become a positive in regards to energy level)? Or are you advocating that nobody should ever "boo" anyone at a sporting event because everyone should just be happy they have their health?Nobody is ignoring that Pelini said what he said. You are ignoring the fact that he just came off the biggest comeback in Husker history and had half the stadium leave and the other half booing their own team. Yeah I wouldn't be to frickin happy with my fanbase either. I promise the comments he made were actually quite calm compared to the tounge lashing I myself would've unleashed were I in his position. Cut the man some slack, re-evaluate your commitment to Husker Nation and lets move past this and hope for a win this week against a better than you think SDSU. GBR!
I hear ya. But shouldn't it be somewhat of a two-way street? I mean, a coach can't put out a subpar (by my Husker standards) product and not expect to hear about it from, at least, some fans. On the flip side, the coach can't blame the fans for them caring too much when that same caring works to your advantage. (I'm not necessarily referring to two-year old comments. Bo's had a pattern of being less than complimentary of the Husker fan base, at least through the media.)" But what are fans supposed to do?

It's acceptable to be upset or disagree with your team. It is acceptable to leave said game whenever you please. But to claim to be the Greatest Fans in College Football and treat our team and staff the way we do at times is not acceptable if we are to carry this moniker.

If the name of this person ever gets out there will be some people who will commend him. Unfortunately for him there will also be a lot of people who condemn him.
Sucks to be that guy.
I find it funny that you at once condemn the hyperbole of "half the stadium left, the other half booed" while in the next breath hyperbolize about "Martinez fanatics" and the rest.It hurts your credibility, just like it hurts the Martinez fanatics credibility those that wont acknowledge that there can be polite and respectful discussions about the QBs abilities without it being "hate speech" or a hate crime or that you hate the player, his family , race, area of the country he came from etc etc
Could that also be interpreted as a coach who consistently reveals himself as an a-hole in private, creates his own public problems for the state and university, puts an embarrassing product on national television, blames everyone but himself in a profane tirade, then having supposedly calmed down actively campaigns for other HC positions, at which point he would presumably leave Nebraska in the lurch with a pipeline of defensive recruits who can't be trusted to make adjustments to one of the worst defeneses in the NCAA?Those who mean to do harm to the program or anyone associated with it must be punished, period.
