As Husker I am still hurt at what he did to us last year (not to mention what the Badger did this year), but it’s good to hear about his faith. It’s always comforting to hear about these kinds of figures standing strong with the Lord. And I was especially happy they beat the 49ers, for no other reason than it is the San Francisco 49ers.
Fellow disappointed Husker: I honestly believe that if we don’t beat a very good Georgia team in the upcoming bowl game, that Pelini has got to be dismissed. If we do beat Georgia, I might reconsider—it’s just that we have yet to beat a great football team in the Pelini era. We’ve had many opportunities and apparently can’t get beyond mediocrity.
We Huskers are spoiled, and mediocrity on a Terry Donahue-type level (9-4, 10-4 seasons etc) is just NOT OK.
We need to return to prominence and legitimately be in the National Championship calculus on a regular basis. The program is still so storied and powerful, but we’ve lost the mystique we used to command (though I admit OU and two of the Florida teams used to give us fits fairly regularly!)
Hope the Huskers can beat the Dawgs. If not, Pelini loses any remaining credibility he may have had. Our players are just as good as the Bama/Oregon/Notre Dame-level players and with excellent coaching, they should be able to play and win championships again. Pelini hasn’t extracted that potential to-date at all, and if he can’t kick some ass against Georgia, I’ve definitely had enough of him (and his ridiculous tantrums as well).
GO BIG RED!
