Is Bo Pelini Gonna Have To Choke A Bitch?

I think he'd like to choke Dan Beebe, given the chance.

Star-divide

I just finished watching the Aggies triumph over Corn at Somme Kyle Field. Ags look pretty good. THU ought to be...interesting. Wonder of Tim DeRuyter will be able to solve the riddle that is our offense.

Back to Bo. The whole 16-2 penalty count will send a sane man around the bend. It's not clear Bo Pelini can throw a rock and hit sane.

I believe in his post game press conference he said: "They scored 9 points, but we gave up 6."

I enjoyed watching Bo Pelini fume, rage, spit, holler and generally freakout for the better part of this game, the highlight being this sequence where Taylor Martinez returns from the locker room and Beau harangues him for...what? Seriously, I could not figure out what the deal was. Maybe the lads at Better Off Red have some ideas.

Still not sure. Waiting to see if I hear anything about that.

My guess…T-Mart does have a bit of a mouth on him, so I’m wondering if he said something that was…ill-advised?

Well, if Bo feels he got a raw deal, he can turn in a negative report on the officials involves at the spring conference meeting.

The roughing the passer call that helped set up the winning field goal was total bullshit, just a terrible call.

Funny, I thought Bo handled that one as well as any of them — probably by then he was resigned to his fate.

Pellini is trash. Period. NU lost to Texas in the conf. championship game last year and they didn’t quit whining about it until we played them again – and won. To get beat by Texas this season really speaks volumes about your team.

NU’s problem is that they never understood how to compete when they had more than one serious opponent in their conference. They never got over losing all those games to Texas. They never got over being made to recruit players who could read and right. As far as their departure from the Big 12, good riddance to bad rubbish. Let’s see how they do in a conference that isn’t composed of football programs masquerading as institutions of higher learning.

Obviously you haven’t quite leared how to “write” either. Expose you ignorance dipsh!t. Anybody with a brain clearly saw the officiating was horrible. The Huskers didn’t get it done, but having to play the Ags at home and the stripes on the field was obviously something they couldn’t overcome. Bottom line, the Big Texas…. errr Big 12 owes the Huskers and everyone outside of Aggie land an apology for such a poorly called game. 16 penalties to 2 without a holding call is embarassing. Never mind the roughing the passer, uncalled PI, etc… Every time the Huskers did anything positive, the stripes were there to take it away. Pelini had every right to be livid with what went on.

Yeah, there was a real Lincoln-Douglas vibe happening, what with the whole “expose you ignorance dipsh!t” and the “Big Texas…err Big Twelve” lines. Sorry about that.

Nebraska got shafted on one call. It was a biggie, no doubt. Total bullshit. I didn’t see any other calls that were clearly questionable. I don’t know if you saw the last two Texas games (and why would you?), but in each of those, Texas had equally bullshit calls go against them. But you and Bo can stick with the “you’re all out to get Nebraska!!” whine if you want. It may draw attention away from the coach drawing an unsportsmanlike conduct, another coach breaking a camera post-game, and the fact that you’ve lost to two teams you should have beaten handily because Captain Coronary only knows defense.

Bo Pelini remains in over his head. Watching him rant and rave on the sideline reminds me of the Peter principle. And, ladies and gentlemen, Pelini’s tenure as head coach is nothing short of the Peter principle.

He is not intense, trying to fire up his players, or emotional. He loses – and never regains – his composure. The unsportsmanlike conduct penalty in the second half serves as the cherry on top of the sundae of how classless this individual is. Pelini reflects poorly on the program, the department, and the university.

Pelini’s teams have done nothing of note. They have looked good against cellar dwellers from the Sunbelt Conferences and recently reclassified teams from the Plains. Against legitimate I-A competition, his teams fold as quickly as Pelini lets the spit fly.

by texpat on Nov 21, 2010 3:18 AM CST reply actions  

There is no doubt that was a very bad late hit call that probably cost Nebraska the game and there was an obviously large difference in the amount of penalties called against Nebraska. If Pelini is feeling picked on he might start by shutting his mouth on the sideline and quit acting like a fool by screaming at the refs every time they walk by. To me, that is very unprofessional. I wish Tom Osborn would tell him to shut up.

by Arrrrg!!!! on Nov 21, 2010 5:09 AM CST reply actions  

I’m not surprised the UNL fans are blaming the loss on the refs. I expected this. Sure – the roughing the passer call sucked – but we’ve had two of those called against us in the last two games.

What is it they say about bad calls? You hope they at least even out? Yeah, well it started to even out last night.

And there was a big disparity in penalties because UNL broke the rules more. All those false starts? Yeah – that’s the 12th Man thing I tried to warn you guys about. Of course – y’all all said Martinez “thrives” in hostile environments. I guess y’all just hadn’t really seen one yet.

I also expect to hear about the Martinez injury playing a big role. Of course, A&M’s best offensive player didn’t get a single snap, so UNL is in better shape than A&M there.

by Ag_in_TX on Nov 21, 2010 7:49 AM CST reply actions  

The roughing the passer call sucked, but most of the calls against them were good. 4 years ago when Purify pushed off our DB and then caught the winning TD we were pissed. Karma is a bitch. On Better Off Red they are saying we held all game but I didn’t see it. Corn were called twice for holding and both looked legit. For once we didn’t have 5 false start penalties. I couldn’t see the penalties on #46 on the kickoffs so who knows. Without a healthy Qb their O is very average. Would we have beaten them if T-Mart was healthy? Maybe not. Do their receivers know how to catch? Not very well. It all catches up to you at some point. See you Thursday night.

Bo Pellini is a disgrace to the coaching profession and to Nebraska University. Nebraska fans who defend him after that performance are no different than Aggies who defended the blatant crook Jackie Sherrill during the late 1980s – they are willing to sacrifice their school’s very honor and dignity at the altar of winning football games.

If that cretin were head coach at UT (something that would have never happened to begin with, BTW) I have no doubt at all that 90% of Texas fans would be calling for his head on a platter after that disgusting display last night. No doubt at all.

Hook ’em!!!

by EyesOfTX on Nov 21, 2010 8:45 AM CST reply actions  

Nebraska lost because they did not have an answer outside the red zone for Gray. After the controversial roughing the passer call on the drive extending penalty, he gained an additional 32 yards on 5 straight running plays against the vaunted Black Shirts on the game winning 4th quarter drive. Nebraska had their chances but just fell short. Shit happens.

Pelini did spark the Huskers to an incredible drive coming off their end zone to tie the game at 6 with his personal foul. The penalty did not cost much in yards as it was a half the distance walk off. He was looking for some sort of spark to get his guys going in a very hostile environment and it appeared to work. That and Rex Burkhead is a baller from Plano. They went down the field and tied the game.

Pelini’s post game comments are an abomination to the coaching profession. Appreciate him being upset in the loss but his lack of respect for the game, and his players, is embarrassing. I don’t think it would have been too big a stretch for him to have congratulated the play of Burkhead and David. Those two guys played lights out. It would not been too big a stretch for him to have elevated the sport of college football. Instead, his selfish arrogance rose to the occasion once again. His Rodney Dangerfield antics are stale, at the very least.

It is very hard to reconcile Pelini as Nebraska football head coach and Nebraska’s most sportsmanlike fan reputation. They call that a null set. Is it possible that the latter is no longer?

This is what can possibly happen when you demand intensity in your defensive coach and then send him off to be a head coach somewhere. While watching this, I couldn’t help but think that this is what we have to look forward to in Muschamp? Intensity is great for revenge, and defense, but there is so much more in building a respectable giant program that not only wins but attracts players parents and donors alike. We hate Mack the clapper, but imagine if we had that screaming mess on the sideline. At least WM doesn’t pop gum at a feverish pace…..

lousy officiating is one thing, but purposely destroying one team by the officiating reflects the arrogance and short-vision of the leadership of the conference, or lack thereof.

That video of the Aggie hyphenated player going digital prostate exam on the Husker in the pile is disturbing and explains why Cotton kicked and got up wanting to fight. It’s worse than the Rocky Calmus video where he’s trying to twist someone’s foot off the end of his leg.

I’d be interested to see what happens if a reporter or someone brings this video to the real media and questions are asked of Mike Sherman about it.

In all the Husker uproar over the officiating, I think they lose sight of what may be a better question: Why did Pelini leave Martinez in the game when it became apparent that he couldn’t run well nor could he pass well due to his injury? NU’s chances would have been better with a healthy back-up than a diminished T-magic.

Lastly, I get the impression that Pelini may not be a very likable person.

The meltdown happening on BetterOffRed is amazing. I’ve seen this officiating crew on several occasions, and let’s say that they have made other strange calls this season, in my opinion. However, for the Huskers to cry “injustice!” and focus on officiating, or on the even more outlandish “Big XII Conspiracy Against Nebraska”, is pure hilarity. I’m going to miss those guys down the road, including the automatic win for our side twice every four years.

The Husker coaching staff needs to quit frothing at the mouth and quit deflecting blame from where it really lies – in an inability to diversity from a one-dimensional offense and making timely stops on defense. Do some coaching. In the big picture, Nebraska was one big play or one sustained drive from winning this game, despite all the perceived injustices. They still control their own destiny in the north. Failing to put this game behind them might catch them by surprised. Don’t you think that the Buffs, who are on a little roll, wouldn’t want to make a statement of their own on their way out? There is enough tape from our game in October and last night to show the way.

It would be funny. And fitting.

The problem with officiating conspiracies is that at some base level there has to be a level of competence with the officials rigging the games. Most of the time it’s just incompetence.

Orange – I think all Ags agree the roughing call was bad. The PI call was good in my opinion as was the picked up PI call. Nebraska DB’s play pretty tight man defense and are physical. Everybody is harping on the 15-2 penalty ratio. Alot of those were false start and other very basic crap. So if they play overly aggressive (late hits) and sloppy – we just need to let it go until the calls even out? Maybe they got a lot of flags because they deserved them. I don’t think any tears were shed in the state of Nebraska 4 years ago when Purify pushed off our DB to get open and catch the winning TD pass. It’s okay if you get away with it I guess and they came out with the win in 2006.

NE penalties:

Q1
offense-15 yd pers foul at aTm 21
offense-5 yd false start at aTm 26, yet field goal still good, thus penalties negated.

offense-(2 drives later) 15 yd pers foul after recovering own fumble at aTm 49. Possible retaliation to Ag mischief.
+coach-15 yd unsportsmanlike conduct-together 3rd and 14 becomes 3rd and 44.


Q2
(aTm offense called for 5 yd false start at aTm 20)

offense-5 yd false start at NE 36
 
(aTm ties game at 3 on a 62 yd drive with no penalties against NE defense, now 3-3)

sp. teams-13 yd pers foul on kickoff return at aTm 26
offense-10 yd holding at NE 24

offense-10 yd holding (different drive) at aTm 48, followed by an interception.


Q3
offense-5 yd false start at aTm 49

offense-5 yd illegal formation (different drive) at NE 31
(aTm defense-5 yd pers foul on interception return)

defense-2 yd pass interference at aTm 31
defense-15 yd pass interference at aTm 35. Ags would then drive 39 more yards past the markoff and get a field goal, 6-3.


Q4
sp teams-10 yd pers foul
+coach-5 yd unsportsmanlike conduct after a touchback kick. NE drives the field and ties with a field goal, penalties negated, 9-6.

defense-15 yd roughing passer at NE 49 (bad call.) Ags then gain 32 more yards on 5 straight run plays(!) and kick a field goal. NE gets the ball with 3:02 left, only needing a field goal.

offense-0 yd intentional grounding on a 5 yd loss. NE can’t drive and turns the ball over on downs with 1:10 left.

NE was consistent, 4 penalties every quarter. So exactly which penalties are the Cornwhiners disputing?

personal foul – 4, easy to see, though 1 might be legitimate retaliation. Because unlike every other team, surely no Cornhusker has ever played dirty at the bottom of a fumble pile. 2 of the personal fouls were on Eric Martin, who had already been suspended this season for a dirty targeting helmet to helmet hit.

false start – 3, easy to see

unsportsmanlike conduct on the coach – 2, easy to see

pass interference – 2, easy to see

holding – 2, only 2 called the entire game, one on 1st and one on 2nd down

illegal formation – 1, easy to see

intentional grounding – 1, easy to see

roughing the passer – 1, bad call

BTW, 9-11-2010, at Lincoln, Idaho 17 – NE 38. Penalties: Idaho 3-15, NE 10-123. Guess the B12 was trying to screw over NE in another pivotal game, too?

Look, any team that can’t score more than 6 pts doesn’t deserve to win. The roughing call cost only gave the Ags 3 pts. In 4 qtrs the Cornwankers couldn’t score at least 9 pts to keep the game going? That’s their real problem.

I find it funny that Texas fans keep churning on and on about Bo…yeah, even though his methods are crude and he’s on his “Bo’s Ass Chewing of Players, Coaches, and Referees, Volume III” United States tour, the bitching out of T-Mart on the sideline should’ve waited for the locker room…but don’t Longhorn fans have more to worry about, like firing OC Davis or somehow finding a way to beat aTm to actually get to a bowl game? Just wondering.

I’m pretty objective when it comes to telling it like it is on Better Off Red even though I’m a Husker fan. Nebraska lost this ugly game for these reasons:

1) The O-Line was basically a “swinging saloon door” – whoever thought it was a great idea to hire Barney Cotton for a second time (Bo) should be put in the insane asylum…he was coaching High School kids when Bo came knocking….terrible coach and schemes. Then again, the holdings and false starts and letting Von Miller roam around in the backfield (among other things) killed a few of their drives. So while Longhorn fans want Greg Davis fired, we want Watson, Ted Gilmore, and Barney Cotton fired at a minimum.

2) Cyrus Gray – I figured Tannehill would be held in check pretty good and I figured Gray was the X factor in this, and he delivered…202 total yards…and that was without Christine Michael in the backfield since he’s out for the season. The aTm has a great 1-2 RB combo.

3) The spread scheme – when you only have one QB that can run this thing and he’s not been 100% for a few weeks and your backup QBs either stink or are out for the year, we’re back to our wonderful 2009 O. It doesn’t help that Shawn Watson is about as bad as an OC as Greg Davis is – how he kept his job is another story too. Hopefully Jamal Turner and Bubba Starling will give us a better shot for the next few years…T-Mart is going to get himself killed sooner or later…on the football field or by Bo himself. It’s bad when a 50% T-Mart is better than a 100% backup…that’s bad coaching and recruiting.

The meltdown that Voice of Reason is referencing is some of the responses on the thread saying to storm the Big 12 offices, lynch Dan Beebe, march up to the NCAA offices, burn it down, etc…I thought some of those responses on that thread were pretty pathetic and not indicative of how we really feel…NU lost, whether it was fair and square or not depends on who you ask….

ransom,
You root for an earthquake that craters the stadium.

Tommy,
You’re right that Texas fans have a lot on their plate to worry about. Still, we like the fact that, for whatever his faults, Mack Brown doesn’t act like a petulant little child with rage issues like your sociopath head coach and his mongoloid brother. And when a gang of red-and-white-wearing pussies like your Huskers go down to an ugly defeat and the self-anointed “best fans in college football” scream and cry like tiny little Downs syndrome babies, we’re going to take a little time to have a look and talk about it. ESPECIALLY on a day when we break a losing streak (even if it was against a patsy). Hell, the Horns hadn’t won a game since they went up to Lincoln and decisively kicked the shit out of your Huskers to make our overall Big 12 record 1-9 against you classless simps.

So you can stop wondering.

Interesting (albeit unsubstantiated) buzz on the Husker boards about Martinez leaving the team.

I was about 30 feet behind the Husker bench. The ripping Martinez took was absolutely brutal. Never seen anything like it.

Woody,

I think sociopath might be a little light…Bo’s a freakout of massive proportions.

The problem is that Osborne knew what he was getting when he hired Pelini (the infamous WYSIWYG theory)…especially when Bo wanted to beat the crap out of the 107 year old Bill Snyder when Snyder ran up the score on Bo’s D the year he was the D coordinator at NU. So, what does Bo do in the K-State game this year? He kicks a late FG to make it 48-13…yeah, he’s off his rocker sometimes. I don’t condone what the Pelinis did down in College Station, but we knew we were getting a couple of hotheads for coaches. That definitely isn’t any sort of a mystery. He basically hired him to fix the crap-ass defense we had and figure out the offense later. Well, 3 years later, and our offense is still in flux.

All I was asking was why Texas fans are piling on Pelini (and Nebraska…even if it’s somewhat indirectly). I guess 2 more games and no one in the Big 12(10) will have to worry about us anymore. I apologize for getting your undies in a bunch. I was just asking a question and I wasn’t trying to start anything, but apparently I did start something…sorry. Calling us “red-and-white wearing pussies” is really uncalled for…I mean, really, come on. I’m not trying to start anything, I was just asking a question.

NU wasn’t NC material anyway and everybody knew it. Ironically my friends and I agreed before the season that we were going 10-2 and losing to Texas and the aTm, then piss away the Big 12 title game like they did to Texas last December. Well, if they beat the Buffs (and at the rate it’s looking, it’s a big IF), then my prediction is spot on after we lose to one of the Oklahoma schools.

In regards to what Pelini said to T-Mart, that whole thing is a mess too…more WYSIWYG there…you can get the lip-read translation on Better Off Red…sounds spot on to me….

Have you been in a coma for a year?

by MisterLoki on Nov 21, 2010 9:48 PM CST reply actions  

Nope, I haven’t been…since the Longhorns have been the Huskers 9 out of the last 10 times, why would any Longhorn fan care about Bo’s antics, Bo supposedly getting suspended, Martinez supposedly being thrown off the team, then supposedly leaving the team, then supposedly never left the team and on and on and on and on….

But, oh well, whatever….

by Tommy Gun on Nov 21, 2010 10:32 PM CST reply actions  

“why would any Longhorn fan care about Bo’s antics”

Because he is a bully and a whiner, and it is amusing to watch him disgrace the University of Nebraska while their fans twist themselves in knots defending him, all the while proclaiming themselves the classiest fans in the world.

It doesn’t make our season any better, but it is at least an amusing distraction.

by MisterLoki on Nov 21, 2010 10:44 PM CST reply actions  

Husker fans are definitely not self-declared best fans in college football. Go to Google and type in best fans in college football, the first couple say that we are but look down further and they all have Nebraska at least at No. 2. And nobody is defending Bo, he was way out of line, but the Martinez chewing had to do with Taylor texting, sources say dad, while he was injured in the locker room. Bo has had problems with Taylor’s dad trying to tell him how much his son should play and what-not. This is our last year in the Big XII. So just smile and say good-bye.

by BleedRed on Nov 21, 2010 10:49 PM CST reply actions  

Well, Bleed, then maybe he ought to seek out and chew out Taylor’s Dad’s ass, instead of Talyor in front of a national TV audience or just toss him off the team altogether. Then again, he must not have that big of a problem with TM and/or his dad, since he put his one-legged ass back in the game for the entire second half after telling the ESPN sideline reporter that Green would definitely start the second half and it had nothing to do with anything other tham TM’s ankle and not the altercation on the sideline. Inquiring minds want to know?

Oh and, Goodbye :>)

The Huskers really are good fans. Fans like us would have turned on the coach after showing up small in two big games, like Pelini did this year. It’s pretty clear that Pelini had his team too tight for Texas and lost all control against the Ags. They defend him now, but in a few years when he’s fired, they will remember him as a crazed lunatic.

by TaylorTRoom on Nov 22, 2010 7:15 AM CST reply actions  

Taylor, that’s because the Callahan Disaster™ is too fresh. Pelini has them up and running. It would be as if Mack were the crazy one, but Texas fans wouldn’t have wanted to ditch him after his first three years either. The idea of going back is too painful.

NU fans aren’t any better than anybody else once they start losing. Or any worse, as far as that goes. They’re just fans.

“Nebraska lost this ugly game for these reasons:”

I just came up with another reason. Nebraska scored 6 points. DeRuyter is a fine DC, but when you score 6 effing points against the Collies you have nobody to blame but yourself. Holding them to 9 was admirable thought. I’ll take that effort with some turkey.

by magnusbleuveigner on Nov 22, 2010 9:09 AM CST reply actions  

Judging from Pelini’s appearance at the post-game press conference, he looks both psychotic and drug addled. He was moving his head rapidly from side to side and his eyes looked weird. Dude looks seriously deranged.

by Blueshorn on Nov 22, 2010 11:31 AM CST reply actions  

This is not very charitable, but a fact…

My wife (not a football fan) saw Pelini on the TV during the game. She asked me who that was and I told her…
She replied: “He looks like a cross between a Stoops and a weasel”.

Cracked me up.

I watched the entire game in person and then watched the broadcast. In neither the live game nor the broadcast did I see the refs score a single point for either team. I kept rewinding the broadcast to see if the refs actually kicked one of aTm’s field goals — they did not. aTm made the plays to win the game — no one else. Corn failed.

Bad calls are part of the game. Everyone and I mean everyone knows that. Having the temper and resolve to overcome the bad calls is what makes a good team. Corn couldn’t handle it.

And, by the way, Corn you were not the target of the bad call(s) at Kyle Field — your coach was. Turns out, screaming profanities at the refs all night may make you a “target” on close calls.

Have fun playing Ohio State.

“Well, if Bo feels he got a raw deal, he can turn in a negative report on the officials involved at the spring conference meeting.”

I can’t believe everyone walked by this great comment by TTR.

MisterLoki, you’re welcome for the amusement. We aim to please…and I’m sure it’ll get more amusing by about 6pm on Friday evening.

Magnus, what lead to us scoring a whomping 6 points was the swinging saloon door known as our offensive line, the usual crap-ass Shawn Watson playcalling, and Cyrus Gray since he had 200+ yards of offense. Other than that, everything went fine…well, besides Bo’s excessive, overexacerbative, juvenile tirades to the referees, that is.

Our fans would be worse if 50% weren’t 75 olds who’ve had season tickets since 1961…as a whole, we’re too nice.

Sailor – not sure if this was stated earlier, but my wife just reminded me of your slight-of-hand reference in the post title. That Wayne Brady was a crazy mofo on Dave’s show. Pelini makes Woody Hayes look like Mack Brown.
