Imagine being an SEC school watching any Pelini defense after Suh left and thinking you should hire him. Game passed him by a while ago.
Here’s the Pelini-centric quotes from an Athletic article about the LSU game. Spoiler BATON ROUGE, La. — Bo Pelini walked to his bench. He turned to talk to his linebackers. Then quickly over to his defensive backs. It was all frantic yet defeated. The points wouldn’t stop. The yardage kept coming. Six-hundred twenty-three yards passing. Pelini turned around, put his hands on his hips and simply looked up into the Baton Rouge sky. His LSU defense was in trouble, and the problems were never solved Saturday afternoon. Here were the defending national champions, remnants from one of the most dominant teams in college football history, being torched in their own stadium for 44 points on a day they were favored by 17. They couldn’t stop Mike Leach’s Air Raid Mississippi State offense. They couldn’t contain transfer quarterback K.J. Costello. They couldn’t make plays in the clutch to overcome a frustrating evening in Tiger Stadium for its first loss in 672 days. ... Pelini tried to stop Mississippi State (1-0, 1- SEC) with aggressive man coverage. It’s something Orgeron has been excited about, actually, and Mississippi State went right at that man coverage with shots down the sideline and crossing routes to catch them off guard. Time and time again, those corners got beat one-on-one. “Going into the game, I thought they’d play looser than they did,” Leach admitted. “It turned out they didn’t play so loose and the space (near the line of scrimmage) was getting crowded and so we had to go over the top.” And it wasn’t just being beat one-on-one. Multiple times running backs or receivers were left completely undefended in coverage busts for large gains, like when All-SEC running back Kylin Hill caught a short pass and went untouched for nearly 40 yards before seeing a defender, who also missed the tackle, as Hill scored on a 75-yard touchdown. And we’re not even going to dwell on the tackling miscues. “It’s embarrassing,” LSU safety JaCoby Stevens said. “It’s like going into a boxing ring and getting knocked out.” ...But as we look back on this bizarre, off-the-rails season opener in Baton Rouge, just remember Pelini looking up at the sky with his hands on his hips
Watching Miss St run drags with pick/rub variations all game long and never seeing Bo switch up to zone killed me. Aranda is 10x the coach Bo is and somehow Bo is getting paid more money than Aranda did.
i don't think "the game has passed bo by." Leach isn't doing anything he hasn't been doing since 2002 in that game. Are rub routes and crossing patterns out of five wide sets new? UW ran 600 yard track meets on his D twice running high school plays. Specifically, the same three high school plays. Bo is an embittered, end-stage abusive narcissist. His own psychopathy has passed him by. He belongs in a recliner in Youngstown, wearing a chef boyardee-stained undershirt, yelling at the world the rest of his life
Mary Pat is gonna get away on a girls trip to Napa and have a chardonay-fueled moment of clarity with Debbie's hand on her shoulder, and finally escape the cycle of abuse. Bo's gonna be simmerin' his own 'yardee, but always settin it on med-high a little too long so the bottom burns to the pan and he never adjusts his process, just yells at Kenmore
Jamie and Mama Gordo probably the only 2 in the metro with more tears in their eyes than myself. Sween Dog says it best “You were supposed to become the next George Brett, you didn’t become the next George Brett, you became the FIRST Alex Gordon”
Group think engage!!! Also I wasn't even trying this time you thin skinned pansies. It's easy when I can let the OWH get you all hot and bothered.
Personally I don’t give a fuck about Don Kleine or half of the other shit people get all fired up about in here (outside of Husker athletics being a joke). I just don’t understand why you seem to only come in the thread to either 1. Complain about what people are discussing/posting or 2. Do your little “ha ha got you guys!!!!” act.
Why do you have to understand it? You know that if it's ignored I'd probably stop. You all can't. It's a moment of amusement for me.
I for one wish Husk City could stick to making fun of Bo Pelini instead of being subjected to boring troll chodery.
Feel like it's a good time to start gettin thoughts on our record and overall badness or relative lack of badness this year. OSU - L WI - L NW - Tossup PSU - L Ill - Tossup Iowa - L Purdoo - Tossup Minnesota - L Calling 2-6 with wins over Purdue and Illinois.
