I truly hope LSU beats tOSUs 70-3. :moon:

How many HCs have used Arkansas for an extension and pay raise now this year???

Pelini on coaching in the BCS title game

After the formal part of Bo Pelini's press conference, surrounded by reporters, Pelini left open the idea about coaching LSU in the national title game if the Tigers are in it.

"Their desire, Coach (Les) Miles' desire is that I help them through that national championship game if they get to play in a national championship game," Pelini said. "What that would mean here, that would be something I'd have to get a blessing from Coach Osborne on.

"But the thing that kind of allows you to do that these days (coach in a bowl game for another team) is the (recruiting) dead period. I would want to make sure I do the right thing by LSU for all the things they did for me. But that wouldn't really change anything from now and mid-December. I'm going to work for Nebraska right now. My focus right now is to put a staff together and begin recruiting."

The recruiting dead period starts on Dec. 17 -- coaches aren't allowed to contact recruits then -- and runs until Jan. 1.

One more note: Pelini said he has not yet signed a contract. "That'll work itself out pretty soon," he said.



Comments from any LSU faithful?

I might add that The Big Red Nation is adopting LSU through the BCS Title Game since we have no bowl to go to this year. We are living vicariously through your team. :cheers:

I'll take LSU vs Oklahoma for the NC myself.

Those are the two best teams right now IMO.

At LSU, Pelini has coached defenses that have ranked No. 3 in the nation three years in a row.

I'm sure the next DC will bring you No. 2 or No. 1. :lol:

BREAKING NEWS: New coach to meet with players

Nebraska football players have been invited to a team meeting at 2:30 p.m. today where they are expected to meet their new football coach. Bo Pelini, according to multiple sources, is expected to be Nebraska's next coach.

You have to admit, the momentum of "permission to talk to" and "one out in his contract for Michigan job" and "Lloyd Carr retires" all were pretty compelling that he had to be in secretive talks, but who knows.

Coaches are (like) politicians. Homostreet probably saved Les for y'all, whether you wanted it or not.

This is a good site that has it's share, as all do, of whining ignorant ingrate :loser:

BO frickING ROCKS!

BO BIG RED!!!!!


:geauxtigers:

Congratulations Bayou Bengals!

I'm so proud of how Hester, the D, Ryan P. and y'all gutted it out!

Wow, 3 11-win seasons?! :nana:

We're proud to have Bo back and wish you the best. :geauxtigers:

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 :banghead:)
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.
