If you want change--vote with your feet, don't go to the Minnesota game

Will never root against Nebraska or Bo for that matter. He needs to win every game, and I think he tries his best to do so. Never want Nebraska to lose. Never have, never will.Bo goes or stays on performance. His overall performance should be looked at, not the last three games.I have never been a fan, but I always want the best for Nebraska. A curb stomping will start something none of us want to see.Some terrible days are ahead of us I am afraid.

I really don't see how anyone can be afraid anymore.

The program that was made by our legends' protege' has taken our title, supplanted themselves as the premier rushing program, and set the last record they needed against us. It would take a team of cowboys with the sharpest knives ever to make a cleaner castration.

As for the whole "root for" thing, well I'm wearing a NU fleece today and my truck still has it's decal. To remove any of that would cause more questions and ridicule than keeping it at this point. It's still my university.

However, I'm in Vegas this weekend. And I'm taking a money bet out on Minnesota and hedging it with Nebraska covering. If they win, whatever, nothing ventured nothing gained. If Bo and his charges feel like underachieving again, I may as well recoup my Wisconsin trip on them since they're the ones who made the game a waste of time.

 
I am not afraid of the change Polo, you know that. Just the melt down that is coming. I hate to see us go through the nightmare. But I have been saying that he is not the one since the first day he got the job. I tried awfully hard to support him/team this year. Just hate the fact that we have to go through it. IF it happens or doesn't happen. going to be a lot of angry people. I am more afraid of it not happening, and the fan support there after.

I just hope if it happens we truly search for a qualified replacement, make no hoops for them to jump through.

That's the thing. If there is no change, there will be worse damage. It would nearly be a fait accompli that the sellout streak would end.

To be a great leader (whether or not you're a football coach, CEO, or whatever), you have to do some things well to keep the job. You have to:

1. Take instruction well

2. Be a good listener.

3. Have the ability for honest self reflection.

4. Have a business like demeanor

5. Don't take it (or make it) personal

6. Deal honestly with subordinates, deal honestly with your boss.

7. Make it about the team, in good and bad times.

8. Be willing to get out of your comfort zone.

9. Hear everybody's ideas so you can make the best informed decision

10. Have the willingness to be on an island all by yourself.

Does Pelini do these things well? If he learns how to do #3 and #8, he'll be the guy here, and everything else will take care of its self. If not, he's toast.

The next guy in should keep these things in mind.

I really hope the Huskers win against the Gophers. Not because I still support Bo, Not because its Senior Day, Not because its the last time I'll see Ameer and Kenny, and possibly Randy Gregory take the field at Memorial Stadium. Not because I absolutely support the Huskers.

But because I want to witness you all (fairweather fans) promptly eating crow after the game.

You cant entirely blame the sellout streak nearly ending this year on Bo. Sure there are those who wanted him gone and refused to buy tickets preseason or even some who refused to go after the Mcneese and MSU games.

But the other reasons are the added seating and the snoozefest that was our 2014 home schedule. FAU, McNeese State, Illinois, Rutgers, Purdue, Minnesota and the lone exception Miami. Bad recipe for the year you unveil more seats.

2015 however will probably be more on the fallout of Bo being retained if that happens. We have a pretty good looking home schedule next year. BYU, Wiscy, NW, MSU, Iowa plus a couple creampuffs.

yeah, a lot of things are compounding the threat to the sellout streak. which is why getting more excitement into the program is the easiest fix. it could have been by fielding a top ten team, but now i think it would have to be through a new coach.

So the 2000 home schedule went as such:

San Jose St

Iowa (pre Ferentz I think)

Missouri (not a great one either)

Baylor (real bad)

Kansas (bad)

Colorado (rivalry game, but a bad cu team)

Wanna know how the stadium filled out with that dog of a schedule? Without one ad.

Nebraska fans will come regardless of opponent if the product is good and there's hope.
