So if you watched Pelini's weekly press conference today, you were probably not surprised by some of his responses to the media. He continues to give watered down, minimal responses. However, Bo was not a complete jerk today to the media, and actually gave a pretty good interview. I will give my opinions. But hey, I give him some credit.
Media: "Was there anything you were surprised about on Saturday?"
BO: "Uh......No,....I think we left a lot of plays out on the field...but no, nothing really."
--What?!?!? Are you kidding me? Well Bo, I was surprised at the total ineptness of our passing game. I was totally surprised at how WELL we ran the ball, and surprised once again when for some unknown reason when we were moving the ball on the ground, we abandon it for the pass. Oh I was also surprised at how such a well coached football team could tie a record with 8 TURNOVERS. Oh yeah, we also LOST to IOWA FREAKING STATE. That didn't surprise you??
Media: "How do you address the turnovers this week?"
Bo: "Emphasis,...we just have to CONTINUE to emphasize to put the ball away."
--Yeah, thats worked, just CONTINUE to do that. I say running each stadium step after the game would have made them focus on it. But go ahead Bo, CONTINUE to emphasize.
Bo: "There are lots of things that need to be cleaned up. For instance...on the touchdown...we need to get those things cleaned up."
---Uh what touchdown? you mean the only touchdown we scored? Or the absolute lack of touchdowns that we have witnessed whenever we are faced with a descent opponent?
Media: "Bo, I wanna see someone grab somebody. I want to see some anger, I want to see some rage."
Bo: "Ever see me on the sideline?"
--Ok, that was pretty funny.
Media: "Why did the guys come out of the tunnel walk the way they did? Why did they have to band together? TO me that suggests weakness."
Bo: "I don't care what it suggested. That's irrelevant to me."
--Ha, classic Bo.
Ok, I must say, it was an entertaining press conference.
On to Vegas, the current line on most sites right now is hovering around the Huskers being a 12-14 point favorite. Can we even score that many points? Take away amazing defense plays (and some luck) against Missouri, it has been over a month (9/26) since the Huskers have had any sort of an offense. Thats a little scary for me. The overs is set around 45-48. I think I'd just stay away from this game. Maybe take the under on the points. Tentatively I'll put my prediction at 24-10 Huskers. I must admit I don't know much about this Baylor team, other than knowing their playmaker QB had a season ending injury very early in the season. Like I said, the Husker offense still scares me. My prediction may change, but well see.
Ok, a few joke. All if fun. Husker fans, its okay to laugh at yourselves. I know some of you didn't like my "recycled" joke about Bo Pelini's house being egged, but only have three of the dozen eggs actually hit their mark, and how the police were investigating Zac Lee, so how are these?
" A few weeks ago when Helu had the flu they gave everyone on the team the flu vaccine except for the WRs because they knew they wouldn't catch it anyway."
"How do you make husker burgers? Turn 'em over 8 times and they're done."
"what does 6.2million dollars in coaching salaries and trainers get you in Nebraska? Nothing."
or how about this one:
"This one time, Nebraska had 8 turnovers and lost to IOWA STATE."
And one last video joke: just follow the address below.
