re: Nebraska boards now saying press conference Tues

Cornhusker Red,
How are you going to come to the forum/website of another team's fanbase and talk so much shite about that team going downhill when your team is at the bottom of that proverbial hill?

Just shut up and rub one out to your thoughts of Pelini being your head coach.

Personally, I think Paul Johnson is who NU should be going after with full force and center stage. That guy could build Nebraska back to being a major player, yearly, in the Big 12. Will anybody ever be able to build Nebraska back to being the program they were in the early '70s, under Devaney, and the mid '90s under Osborne? No. Is that situation unique to Nebraska? No.

So while the "we know Bo..." warm & fuzzy feelings might seem good, without a study of the guy's record, achievements and shortcomings as a defensive coordinator, combined with a convenient forgetfulness or lack of remembering his one year as DC at Nebraska (didn't his defense get steamrolled by K State that year?), where's the proof that he'll be a good HC? He has plainly state he doesn't like to recruit and is a media recluse.

Paul Johnson, on the other hand, ran a dynamic offense at Hawaii, built Georgia Southern into a I-AA national power and won national championships with a powerful offense and smothering defense, and has accomplished unprecedented success at Navy. The guy has PROVEN the ability to turn a program into a very successful one year in and year out.

Just my $.02.

Yeah, well. So much for having to take you seriously. You guys piss on Bo, Bo is my friend,

Yeah, assuming you can get who you want WHEN you want.

If you haven't seen what I've said on other posts here and elsewhere, I have been a distant but strong admirer, respecter and fan of LSU FB (and Baseball for that matter) for a long time. Started tracking the FB team as my "South East Team" back in 1970-71 with my first Orange Bowl vacation as a youth.

I've been to a couple Nebraska-LSU games (6 total to be exact):

1970 Nebraska 17 LSU 12
1975 Nebraska 10 LSU 7
1976 Nebraska 6 LSU 6 (that would be 40-38 F/4OTs these days )
1982 Nebraska 21 LSU 20 (Turner Gill anyone?)
1984 Nebraska 28 LSU 10
1986 Nebraska 30 LSU 15

As far as recruiting? Guess what, take a look at our last few years' recruiting class rankings. Right up there with and even AHEAD of LSU's. But the now fired Coach, a recent former SUPER BOWL HC btw, was NOT a decent (remotely) HC at Nebraska.

We went 27-22 with all that 4 and 5 Star 'talent' over his 4 years. Roughly .500 in Conference over that span! He COULD NOT Coach and allowed his DC best buddy Kevin Cosgrove to destroy, in essence, the program.

However, we will be back one way or another. Mark that. And I truly do wish LSU all the best!

Two more wins; SEC Champs and BCS bowl champ.

A match up in a Bowl next year between Nebraska and LSU would be cool I think.

Don't believe we'd hang but WHO KNOWS?! College FB is freakin CRAZY.

man i only read a couple of pages of this thread and jeesh Cornhusker Red sure is a tool

Tom Osborne won a National Championship a mere 10 years ago. Nebraska won 10 games as recently as 4 years ago. Nebraska won the Big 12 North last year against all these 'bad' teams like Mizz and Kansas.

Football is cyclical. Everybody has a period of time where you have losing seasons.

Pelini won't be winning 10 games anytime soon- he has proven to be an average at best defensive coordinator.

Gratz. Looks like you were a successful player and high school coach in some capacity. I have a couple of good friends who both played in the NFL, and actually one played his college ball in Nebraska, and trust me that doesn't necessarily mean you know more than someone without those accomplishments. No disrespect, but nothing you've said on here makes me think you know anymore than any other poster in this rant. Throwing around your conquests in football to make another seem unknowledgable is immature. That said, I disagree that LSU is going into the gutter like the Husker have the past few years. Nebraska has declined because they stopped getting good recruits and they changed who they were, option power football team. They had a few down years and switched coaches and philosophy. LSU may decline somewhat, but not to Neb extent.

Cornhusker, you seem to have done well back in the day as a player/coach. Now, one thing I am certain of: I am smarter than you.

NEVER let those you deem unworthy rattle your cage enough for you to boast like that of a teenager with self-esteem issues.....you SHOULD be better than that.

The way you sound quoting 70's and 80's scores, are you sure you're not from 'Bama?

Bo just doesn't fit here. His schemes remind us too much of Lou Tepper (who we hate), and we really like the way Saban's defenses dominated. It's nothing personal.

Hey Cornhusker ...what NFL team did you play for.
