I just don't think Bo Pelini is a very bright man. Trotting out a match up zone against the likes of Wisconsin, with the size they put on the field, and he deserved to get his *** handed to him.

This is the one bad loss I actually don't blame him for.
That game was all about the external circumstances. Due to the top two teams in their division being inelligable and the bottom three teams winning a combined five games all season, Wisconsin had effectively three months to prepare for that one game. Nebraska who had to hold off Michigan till the last week of the season had eight days.
70% of the things Wisconsin did in that game they had never done before and have never done since.
I don't care who coaches that game, it was going to be a blowout. Tom Osborne gets destroyed in that game too, every coach does.
I sense the Tradition Coalition here. Frost is loyal to TO, who hired Bo, who is a stain on TO's legacy. Frost easily erases the stain. Moos is obviously tied to Frost. All is now well in TC land. Resurrection complete! GBR
There are Bo Pelini fans and then there's this guy...
How did Wisconsin lose to terrible Mike Riley that year? Did they spend too much time preparing for FCS Northern Iowa?

You mean like the propaganda being pumped out daily, and you eating it up?
I'm assuming this was a misspelling, but I thought it was very apt and very funny.
Do you not remember who we had to play DT against Wisky that game....A 265 DT.
A pick 6 on the first play started off.
The game was a dumpster fire before it began. Would have rather played Michigan St or somebody that game.
Honestly, I think Bo is/was such a bad recruiter, he made up his persona to try and hide it.
Think about that one for awhile...GBR
You got it right. Bo can, and probably will, Coach D for a bigger program. But he lacks the temperament, vision and self-awareness to be a head coach. By contrast, in the way he answered the question about Bo, showed that Frost does possess those skills.
Bo is a trip. Not sure if he will ever find his niche. I'm a card carrying Tradition Coalition Lifetime Husker Power Club Member who thinks I should probably drop the BoBot. GBR
You're certainly not making excuses for Bo, are you? Because I would have to remind you that he had been here for 5 years, and the roster was ALL he and his staff's doing.
You've got to be kidding me, right? It was Bo's 5th year at Nebraska. It was completely his responsibility to have his team prepared, and he failed miserably.
Ok, I’m confused... why do I need to get on the Riley sucks bandwagon?
Isn’t it enough to get on the Frost will return us to glory bandwagon?
Do you guys think if you repeat this 'falsehood' often enough, that will make it true?
Bo & Riley recruiting was statistically equivalent and I've shown the stats for that at least twice! Not doing it again.
If you don't like BO, fine. Don't make **** up. Apparently BO was on record saying he didn't like recruiting. Big deal. Is there any aspect of your job you don't like? Doesn't matter. You do it, and try to do it well, because it's part of your job.
Riley did suck, but we've rehashed that as many times as any one topic can be rehashed in the world of rehash-ening-ing-ing..
Bo is one of the better coaches in his current conference. Maybe he can move up a level and coach Ohio University someday when Solich retires.
Watch out you bring out the Riley evangelist back to the thread.
I dunno.
Bo won 9 games a year.
Riley sucked. 50% and going into the Toilet Bowl. Pure unabated disaster.
Tradition Coalition Rules!!!!!!!
GBR
Exactly. 100% on the money.
The MR apologists have to endlessly blame everything on Bo. It's the only pathetic excuse they have left now.....
David Copperfield is impressed with the magic that Riley-Lovers use to create the illusion that Riley is a good coach.
Bo and Riley are gone, in the past, done. It’s not really helpful (though I know it’s fun in this boring period), to debate who was worse. Bo had a better record, Riley was a nicer human being. But, neither met our expectations. That’s how I look at it. The early evidence suggests Frost is far different, and far more focused than either of these guys.
After Riley was fired and Frost was hired it seemed like everybody was happy and the fanbase would be united again.
Then a certain someone and his merry band of Bo-Zos emerge from exile and go nuts in every thread, exacting revenge for the way their idol's era at NU came to an end.
Damn the facts! Bo Uber alles!

And Eichorst too— pair those together and you have a pair of aces; has Eichorst got a job yet?
Can you please point me in the direction of Eichorst lovers? Seriously, who is an Eichorst lover? They need to be banned permanently.
They're just trying to setup the narrative and control the message that it'll all be Riley's fault if Frost isn't successful. Not sure why they're so worried though. Even Riley-lovers believe Frost will be very successful even if it takes a few years.
Or if Frost does accomplish a lot in his first year or two the message will be how Frost overcame big bad Riley.
I feel pretty confident in saying that most, if not all Riley-lovers are to give Frost 4-5 years to at least win the division. But I believe he gets it done well before that. Shoot he may get it done this season.
You watch. If Frost is successful we'll still be hearing about Riley from the same posters (davecisar, bshirt73) and not from the "Riley-lovers".
Well its better to hear from them than to hear from the Riley lovers for 3 years on why everything was Bo's fault. At least they would be accurate.
TC is the Gospel according to TO. Defend his disciples. Perlman and all other ADs not named Moos is the Devil/demons. Frost is the Chosen One, brought back to resurrect the glory of the TC. GBR
I think the "TC" term was coined on one of the message boards. It might have been on Big Red Board. Basically if you were a "TCer" it meant you wanted things linked back to the "good ole days"...I remember it starting when Callahan was hired.
A lot of the issues were Bo's fault. That being said, I don't think Riley would've been successful even if he had taken over from someone who wasn't intent on doing the university and the football program harm.
Riley could take over Alabama, today, and that team would struggle.
Your posts are fun. You're fair and make fun of both coaches due to their faults.
Riley had his faults and needed to go. But to say that none/few of his players respected him or to say the crap Pelini left didn't hurt Riley's attempt to become successful here (ultimately it falls on Riley) is being dishonest.
Probably so. Doesn't change the fact that Bo was burning **** down on his way out the door.
Okay, throw Huskercigar on that list too I guess.
Not everything was Bo's fault. No one was ever saying that.
Like I said, you won't hear from Riley-lovers if Frost isn't successful. But we'll still here from Riley-haters even if (when) Frost is successful.
