Re: Gary Anderson to Oregon State
Too bad birds aren't smart enough to turn up the thermostat or fly over to Bloomingdale's and charge a winter jacket to the Amex, ya know, so their vaginas don't get too cold.

Re: Bo Pelini is a Penguin
When the AD mentioned that it was more about wins, he briefly touched on a few off-the-field incidents which as we now know was Pelini being a total ahole to everyone in the administration. I hate to admit that I was wrong about Bo Pelini. I really thought he was the right guy to turn around NU's sh...

Re: Mike Riley to Nebraska
I never for one minute felt it was a good idea to hire Frost as OC or even HC. It's chasing ghosts of success's past. I've never been a fan of chasing a coach solely on their NU ties. It hasn't worked the previous two times. Bo was DC one year here and hired several NU guys as coaches: all but one, ...

Re: Mike Riley to Nebraska
Riley said today that he was wanting to hire people better than him as assistants, which based on his salary, which is less than Bo was making, they're going to open the checkbook to hire quality assistants that he knew he couldn't afford at OSU. The Beliema rumors were just that: rumors. NU's chanc...

Re: Mike Riley to Nebraska
I've often admired Oregon State's playing style, so I'm very pleased with this hire.

NU can do better than Bo
The problem with both Nebraska, UGA & everybody else is parity. Nebraska probably needs to learn that they're not going to run away with the ring every year (or what seemed that way) any more. Bo's a weird dude - sort of a Les Miles wannabe, but I'm not so sure there's a whole lot of coaches ou...

Re: The B1G soygrinder claims another victim
They didn't get any better when hiring Bo. In fact they got worse as At Large points out Bo has no titles or BCS games. I think you are forgetting the Callahan years. With that as a barometer, Bo meets those qualifications. Regardless of his sins, he sometimes wins the games they should win. He's n...

You mean he didn't know that Bo Pelini was the person he is when he, Tom Osborne, hired him over his favorite Turner Gill?
:doh:
He knew. Don't forget, Osborne got his start coaching under Bob Devaney, who was a polar opposite of him, too.
