Oh, and I'll just leave this little piece of AB history here, circa 2010:

For the first time in my memory the majority of nubs fans don't have the belief that they are a break or two away from being a legitimate contender for a NC. It is entering their heads that they arent something special with a divine right to a BCS level bowl game.It's actually quite fascinating observing Husker fans right now. There is a bit of an identity crisis going on, partially because Husker fans don't know who their program is anymore (from 40 year-long dynasty to fringe-relevant for a decade plus), and Bo's behavior is making people have to decide what kind of program they want, on the spot. There seems to be a fairly even split between:
- Bo should be fired
- Bo should resign
- Let's boycott the game
- Let's booo Bo but support the players
- Sack up, we are Huskers, get over it
Like I said, quite fascinating, and yes, a little familiar.
opcorn:
They are realizing that they aren't one QB or new coordinator away from being a top 5 team.
Funny to see them resigned to being mortal.
LOL! How true. You should hear the local sports talk shows airing the last 18 hours out this way.

**** that. I'm still immortal.
I do not see a way he survives this blow up especially with the video. He is not delivering on the field to the level of Husker expectations, not beating the solid teams anymore, has no way to endear himself to the fanbase he hates so much. My guess is he will be fired mid season after a couple more loses. And there are more coming.
He will be around for the rest of the season and more if he wins games. Actually level heads are prevailing with most fans beginning to see the light. Meaning they realize they have done what he has, only thing they are not close to a microphone when they do it.
Where was that thread about rationalizing when in a relationship with an addicted person?

FIFY. And you know why they resemble any other fan base? Because they are like any other fan base. Standing around after beating Lower Montana A&M by 50 points and giving them a condescending round of applause to go along with their check and ass whipping can disguise it for a while, but when it all comes right down to it they react just like any other fans. Some are classy, some are assholes, some are patient, some are reactionary, some are having sex with livestock (wait, that's mostly only you guys. And CSEwe...).
If Bo Peep wins 8 or more, he isn't going anywhere. The PTB in Lincoln now understand how it looks, even for a major program, to can somebody who has been winning. When Frankie Slopitch got the boot, NU had a hard time being anything other than a foil for other established coaches to use to get a raise. Only the totally misinformed Husker still believes Bill Callahan was anything but choice number four...or lower. Can Bo Peep after 8 or more wins and NU will have to take a flyer on a HC because no established HC will be interested.
I would assume that level-headed fans are also saying that while they support the program, the program is not Bo Pelini and respect/loyalty is a two-way street.
Times change. You guys ran Solich out of town for winning and recruiting at just above the level Pelini is. And you guys loved Solich as a representative of the university and the state. Have you fallen so far in the last decade that you're willing to accept being a program in the 2nd tier that has to have such a bad character at the helm in order to achieve that?
https://twitter.com/FauxPelini is absolutely killing it today.

I can understand an offense getting stagnant or going through a slump. It happens. But letting 600+ go to teams like WYOMING just wont' fly. Papuchas has the worst defensive stats in Nebraska history. This is a fact. When Pelini was running the defense in his early years he did pretty damn good. To me, I think we will be fine if we just get a new D coordinator and finally find a good pocket passing quarterback.

A new D Coordinator is a must...but what is the deal with Martinez? Is he REALLY the best thing you guys could find...for 4 years straight? He is TERRIBLE.
:wtf: This confused me greatly. Then I realized your OC is Shortbus. You are so screwed. :lol:
Isn't Shortbus at Louisville now?
Wrong about Solich. He was ran out of town...........well let's just say there is more to the story and move on. But I get your point as attempted.
damn. you are right.

Meh. The "Greatest Fans on Earth" just got calledout by the Classiest Coach on Earth. This is nebraska football at its finest.

Teddy Bridgewater might get Shortbus a program of his own after this year....
But look at what the nebraska fanbase was willing to accept in the case of Osborne. I'm pretty sure that Solich didn't exceed that threshold, so let's just agree that he wasn't winning to the expectations of the red fans.

Well, most of it is.

Just voted (one of the "Is Pelini in trouble at Nebraska?" polls to vote in). http://espn.go.com/sportsnation/polls
And it's only 54-46% in Nebraska.

Martinez was and still is a quality ncaa quarterback. Look at his first two seasons, he got tons of 6's on the ground and a few in the air. The problem with him now is that they've completely coached him to not run. If you look at tape from his last couple of games you'll see times where he has 30 yards of open field in front of him yet he still tries to throw. Freshman and Sophomore Martinez would have taken the 30-50 yards no sweat. Now, I understand this is what you want a QB to do in the real world but the reality is that Taylor isn't going to play Sundays and his biggest asset and threat was his run game and throwing in passes here and there when the defense cheats up. He doesn't do this at all anymore and other teams recognize this. All they have to do is stop a regular run attack, press the quarterback and guard against a sub par passer. UCLA executed this perfectly in the second half when they started their pass rush and giving cushion to our receivers. Now when he's up against a pass rush he doesn't scramble for yards he throws it out of bounds or takes the down and that is why we 3 and out like there is no tomorrow.
