Those No Longer With Us

[teachercd]

My god, we are the lamest fan base.

We make up rumors about our coaches when we hate them.  

Then when they do something nice, we tear it the f#&% down.

And then we think the coaches should be giving us fans HJ's and french kissing us.

"Remember when they could not even tackle that sick kid in the spring game, I could tell that Bo was slipping, clearly forgot how to coach D"

From the title of this thread, I thought it would be about former players and coaches who have passed away. 

Yeah, did the mouse-over on the title/link to reveal the first paragraph or so and saw it is a bit more interesting.  Too much Wandale, though.

I get it, he had 2-3 bad games against Wisconsin

Sure we got beat 48-17, 70-31, and 59-24 against Wisconsin, but let's not forget about these other gems in in back half of Bo's tenure

losing by 21 vs an 8-5 Iowa team in Lincoln

losing by 20 vs UCLA in Lincoln while being outscored 31-0 in the 2nd half

losing by 25 at Ohio St (which doesn't terrible bad until you see that OSU was a 4.5 point favorite)

losing by 6 at UCLA (which doesn't sound bad until you see that we gave up 650 yards, the 2nd most ever given up by a Nebraska defense)

losing by 28 at Michigan (Michigan was a 2.5 point favorite)

Is there anyone in Nebraska Bo Pelini didn't meet? I met him half a dozen times. Everyone's description of him is pretty much the same - personable guy in person, a bit rough around the edges, but overall a good dude. I know a woman whose kids went to school with his kids and knew Bo better than most, and she really liked him. More anecdotes, I know, but they're mostly all the same.

I think everyone but Dirk Chatelain wanted Bo to succeed at Nebraska. I was against firing him. I think it was the right decision, in retrospect, regardless of the other decisions made afterwards.

 Enjoy the turnovers, Arizona State

Dear Lord, just let him hold onto the ball and throw it to the right team. Amen.

Wish him the best, but I am not holding my breath.

Dirk had SUCH a hard on for Bo!

Also, can anyone name the 80's beach/boob movie that used the word "hard on" a lot...

Yeah but he was supposed to be some defensive genius.  I was at the CC game against WI.  They ran like 3 plays the entire game and rushed for 1000 yds. No answer.  That was enough for me

So your thinking has finally come around. Congratulations!
