    That comment was made off-the-record soon after a game where Pelini was still loco, some of his on-the-record post-game press conferences weren't much better. Off the field, Pelini did not bring embarrassment to Nebraska. There was more than plenty of it while he was on the sidelines.

    Not really. Nebraska fired Frank Solich in 2003 for similar failings. Under Solich, Nebraska at least went to a couple of major bowl games when Nebraska was highly ranked or competed for a national championship (1999, 2001). Apparently, the AD and administration felt Pelini wasn't going to lead Nebraska to a conference championship let along compete for a national championship. And they were probably right. I don't think its asking too much for Nebraska to win the Big Ten West with some regularity. It's the Big Ten West, not the SEC West.

      Doesn't there need to be a clear separation for it to be considered cleavage?

        Then they went and hired Mike Riley.

          For the record, I like the Riley hire. Also, take into consideration that I'm also the guy who liked the Trevor Booker signing for the Jazz, so you can take this to the bank.

            I think its because people associate pictures of KatyLied with KatyLied.
            Ain't it like most people, I'm no different. We love to talk on things we don't know about.

                So Riley will start with a bang and quickly fizzle?

                      Riley with Oregon St. has not won against Oregon since 2007. With Nebraska he'll have games against the Ducks in 2016 and 2017 so we'll have the opportunity to see how Riley fares with Nebraska players. If one doesn't like that comparison or want to wait that long, Rileys first game as HC with Nebraska is against an opponent every here is familar with.

                        I've always associated him with Este's bass face. This is usually how I picture falafel.

                          (Although I admit it's better than the previous avatar you used.)
                          I guess I should have read this thread before posting pretty much the same thing in another.

                          Anyone know why she hasn't? What is she trying to hide?

                              I just thought it was her O face. I didn't realize she was playing bass at the same time.
