  • Meyer all I'm saying is I would like to see what Bo can do given a few more years. I think this program will be better over the next five years compared to the first 5. We disagree. Sorry I came off a little harsh

    no, that's not what people are saying. Listen, you're hatred for Pelini shrouds you from these facts:

    2008: After a 5-7 he takes Nebraska to 9-4 and back to conference relevence 2009: Competes for Conference championship... loses by 1 (blame refs, or whatever... Kunalic kicked a ball out of bounds and Asante horse collar tackled)2010: Started RS-FR QB... competed for conference championship again... jumped out to 17-7 lead and lost by 4 due to a RS-FR throwing an INT in the end-zone. 2011: Changes conferences, loses best players on Defensive line and Secondary for most of season. Takes control of division after dominating performance over MSU but loses the lead in a loss to Northwestern. 2012: 7-2 with some resilient wins and controls his own destiny in the B1G. Again looks like we're competing for conference championship

    In 2008 no one expected any coach to come in and win a conference title right away. So throwing that season out Bo Pelini has had us in (if we project to getting there this year) the conference championship game in 3 out of 4 years. Not bad I would say.

    And cost us a championship in 2010 because he started a RSFr qb, and then was so STUBBORN not to sit him, when he got injured.

    well... there is that. BUT the point is he got us there so we were competing for it.

    Recruiting to Nebraska wasnt why UM didn't want to come to Nebraska. Its the UNREALISTIC expectations like guys meyerkids have, he did not want to coach at a program who fires coaches after 9 win seasons

    That's Crap. You really believe Urb, or any top tier coach turns down a job because they fear not living up to fan expectations? NOBODY has higher expectations than guys like Urb or Saban or Miles do of themselves. Urb said no because of PEDEY. Period.

    I wouldn't want to work for that censored either.

    Yep, and Bo probably has higher expectations of himself than I have of him.

    That's a good point lando. Regardless of what ANYONE here thinks of Bo, their expecations of him aren't higher than HIS are. Say what you want about the guy, but no one can question his desire to win.

    I am not on here to rhetorically speak my mind. everytime i post it is in response to something someone asked or said.

    Had Osborne went to Colorado we wouldn't probably have been an elite program for as long as we were.

    Klein, I appreciate the stats and stuff. we just agree to disagree.

    I will stop posting in this thread or any other

    It simply isn't fun anymore. There used to be debate, good natured, but now it is mostly rhetoric. Agree with the masses, love our coach, love our qB, be happy with where we are at, or SHUT THE EFF UP.

    As Scarlet so eloquently put it a few posts up, Jesus Y'all, I get it. You are fine with where we are at. You are ok with what we have accomplished. One should not question the process.

    Therefore I won't.

    no problem

    Seriously, we need you here. There are more than a few of us that agree with you. Me being one.

    I'm wondering if you'll still have his back WHEN/if he turns his back to Nebraska and all his few fans that support him. Really curious about that. I'm guessing your one that will be blaming the fans that disagree with Bo as coach.

    Bo will leave first chance he gets. Mark it down.

    If Bo leaves Nebraska it will be for one of two things

    1 - he got fired
    2 - he got offered more money to do an easier job.

    Wow. Pretty fragile ego, m/k. You dish out quite a bit, and most appreciate you for your candor, but you can't take the come-backs? Very surprised. Oh well, we all make choices in life. Best to you.

    The ill informed, incessant attacks from uninformed folks really ruins the fun of being on a board. Why you are piling on and in a round about way dancing on his grave shows where you fall. It is unfortunate bc it weakens this great site.

    I'm not piling on. Just making an observation. I have always stated that I appreciate m/k's candor, and have never taken him to task for his opinions. I'm one of the good guys here, and would think that m/k wouldn't cut and run just because of a handful of folks that argued with him.

    The observation is that I was surprised that m/k had such a fragile ego over forum arguments that he publicly decided to walk out of the forum and fray. I just had more respect for him than that.

    I most certainly don't like to see any member leave due to a pretty civil disagreement, which I believe was the case herein.

    I wish him the best, that isn't an endorsement of wanting him to leave.

    I've seen this scenario play out on other boards and to me, it's always pretty humorous.

    Of course, we have the "departure announcement", which is likely the biggest ego card you play in a forum like this. The old "this board will suck without me trick". Hardly.

    M/K and a few others may have some connection to the program, but that does not make them the sole proprietors of informed opinion on a message board. The fact that such people would even make it known what their connections are could be construed as a "my opinion is more important than yours" ploy. Never bought it, never will.

    Besides, it's VERY LIKELY that people who are more connected to the program than m/k are also participants here, they just don't advertise it or make it the foundation of their opinions. And I'll just leave it at that...
