UNO has a football team?So, I heard that Pelini is very close to taking the UNO job for next season and the coaching staff is keeping it all quiet so there isn't a hit to recruiting.
Can anyone confirm?
saniflush said:Crazy father? Check.
Ability to run fast? Check.
Previous problems following the rules? Check.
Likes to screw girls (and maybe get on a webcam too)? Check.
Sounds like we've got our Cam Newton replacement.

:facepalm:RUMOR UPDATE: Taylor to start, but its only to throw us off track. I have it on good authority from the guy pops the popcorn in Cowboys stadium, that the only reason Bo is letting Taylor start is so that he can prove what he can do to the schools he is considering.
1) Bo believes, I think correctly, that keeping critical information from our opponents may confer a strategic advantage in games, increasing the odds of victory.Hunter94 said:i don't think Pelini shoots straight with the fans. it is always about his team and how he wants to run it, if you are hoping to hear the truth, don't bother waiting on Pelini to tell it like it is concerning Martinez or any other player....he has this psycho need to keep the truth from everyone, which makes the guy look childish. he will continue with no comment regarding anything controversial with this team...i am quickly tiring of defending him. the win/loss record is meaningless without integrity and dignity, Bo has a lot of growing up to do....this is more about Bo than it is about TM.

The following is an email I just received:
T-mart transferring at the end of the season. And that
he was actually suspended last game.

Two or three different sources all report a general version of events as this:
1. Bo's meltdown against Taylor on Saturday night. All agree it was over a
cell phone. When Taylor was injured, he was taken to the A&M locker room
because that is where the X-Ray facility was. After being X-rayed and cleared,
rather than hurry and return to the team, Taylor left the medical staff to walk
all the way over to NU's locker room, retrieve his cell phone, and have a
conversation with his father. All told, Taylor and his dad waste 10-20
minutes. Bo is pissed on two different levels. One, he needs the kid back in
the game and he's wasting time. Two, Bo has a very explicit rule about cell
phones in the locker room and on the field. Evidently, Taylor has been busted
for this kind of thing in the past.
Taylor comes back out on the field and the medical staff informs Bo of
Taylor's activities. You saw the conversation that ensued on national TV. Not
pleasant. There are several 'lip-reader' interpretations out there. All have
to do with a phone call.
2. Upon returning to Lincoln, the next day finds Taylor's dad having shown up
on campus. He's pissed. This has happened with Taylor's dad in the past and Bo
pretty much hates dealing with it. They have a meeting with Taylor, Taylor's
dad, and Pelini. Pelini explains that Taylor has violated team rules and will
be suspended for a game. Evidently, Taylor's dad completely loses it, stating
that it is their intention to transfer from NU to somewhere else and that
calling it a 'suspension' will keep teams from wanting his son. Bo says, "Fine,
call it whatever you want, but your son isn't playing on Friday." The meeting
doesn't end well. Rumors swirl like crazy Sunday night that Taylor has quit the
team. Technically, he hasn't, but there is enough truth in there to know that
something has happened.
3. The next day, Taylor shows up with a walking boot on his foot to
practice. Him and his dad want him to wear the boot so that people will believe
that he is not playing this week because of his ankle, not because he's
'suspended'. As a 'screw you' to Pelini, however, Taylor wears the boot on the
wrong foot, causing all sorts of confusion and strange questions from the
press. Taylor, in his odd way, thinks this is all some kind of funny joke.
As this little stunt makes its way through the team, former players such as
Phillip Dillard start piping up via Twitter and Facebook, describing their
thoughts on Taylor and his established history of stunts like this, neglect for
team rules, his over-obsessive daddy, etc. Phil calls on the Unity Council to
dismiss Martinez from the team. Speculation is that current players are the
source of Dillard's anger.
What the 'inside' people are reporting is this: Taylor Martinez is gone after
this season. All agree this is the case. He may not play another game for
Nebraska. Taylor wants to be gone, Taylor's dad wants him gone, and Bo and the
rest of the team want him gone. Everyone within the program, from the coaches
to the players, are tired of his prima donna attitude, helicopter dad, and
general lack of respect for all things Nebraska. The 'suspension' will never be
publicized as such - but that's what it is according to others.
