Don't forget 2012! Comeback after comeback that year to manage 9 wins. Very easily could of only won 5 games in 2012 if it weren't for those comebacks.
No timnsun, it is you who is twisting the words, in an amazing attempt to troll something from nothing.
I call a guy a borderline nut case, and you twist it into an attempt to puff him up?
I didn't do any moaning, it seems that is coming from you, again. On the ignore list you go.
I'm trying to be objective, but that doesn't always go over so well here. I know how it is.. in order to get along here, you have to vilify the last guy while the current guy can do no wrong.. sigh.
I guess if someone would do me a favor by quoting this, Nikki can see my response.
My apologies, Nikki, I thought you were attempting to say that in spite of Bo's nutcase mentality, he did achieve results. And on the flip side, I thought you were saying, in spite of Riley's niceness, he's not gonna be any better than average.
It looks like I took a leap... I thought you were standing up for Bo while looking down on Mike. Again, my apologies.
I understand the function of the ignore button, but you pressed it awfully quick in this case...
Yeah, I was trying to figure out if a tragedy occurred that took out his cable during the bowl game against UCLA or something. Maybe a truck came along and splattered his brains all over the interstate. Or he got carried off by a twister..
I'm part of the not giving up 408 yards to a running back crowd.
One of their losses that year was to...Nebraska. And I would hardly equate 2012 Wisconsin to 2015 Illinois and 2015 Purdue. Did Illinois or Purdue go to and almost win the Rose Bowl last year?
You said Bo lost to "good teams". I don't think the 2012 Wisconsin team was good.
If you read other boards you will see husker fans trying to convince others that the Purdue game was an instant classic between two college football giants.
Wisconsin was an average at best team who finished third in it's division. Yet they made Botard look like the overrated coach that he is. And wasn't Riley's 2015 opponents winning percentage better then anything Botard ever coached against?
You just quoted yourself having said, "...But when he played a good team..." Lol.
Red Rover going full power-bottom.
Talk about taking something out of context, and attempting to make it seem as if I was all up in here saying Bo Pelini only lost to good teams. It's a good distraction argument, but it hardly reflects poorly on me, seeing as I was merely responding to what the resident power-bottom said initially.
Bo didn't lose to only good teams. Bo continued to fail (for Nebraska standards) past years 1-4.
If MR doesn't do any better than Bo after year 4 then he'll be criticized and given the boot too.
Cool story, but our current coach is Mike Riley, and he has lost to multiple bad teams in his first year. Jesus, look at the title of the thread, and still attempt to act surprised that posters are in here comparing and contrasting.
I was responding to Power Bottom's (red rover) statement of, "whenever Bo played mediocre to good teams..." I didn't come out of nowhere with that...
I'm not even defending Bo Pelini, per se, but trying to stay within the context of the thread, and by its very nature, comparing and contrasting. And people are getting pretty upset, obviously.
Last year schedule had teams that went 100-68. Bo lost four games no matter how easy his schedule was compared to Riley's 2015 season. I challenge any to find a tougher schedule during Bo's tenure. It's easy to rack up the wins when your wins add up to teams that finished way below .500
Riley's non Conference...
BYU 9-4
South Alabama 5-7
Miami 8-5
Southern Miss 9-5
Total...31-21
Bo's

Western Boston A&M 2-12
Wyoming 7-5
School of Deaf & Blind 0-12
Total... Lol!

Bo played a conferences schedule that rivaled this year's schedule easily.
At Ohio St, Wisconsin, Michigan, at Michigan St, at NW, at Minnesota, Penn St, , at Iowa
This year's schedule was a cake walk and we blew it.

I'm not defending Bo, as I agree many of his schedules were weak - but our schedule last year was not tough by any stretch of the imagination. Especially since every team with a pulse (Iowa, Michigan State, Wisconsin, Northwestern, BYU) we played at home. Our Big Ten road schedule was a joke (Illinois, Purdue, Rutgers, Minnesota).
It's tough to find SOS rankings, but according to teamrankings.com we had the 50th toughest schedule in the country, just above Iowa, Syracuse, and Memphis. That site has Bo's 2009 schedule as the 5th toughest in the nation (finished 10-4). Only once did Bo have a SOS lower than 50 (2013, when he should have been fired).

You're telling me Nebraska's SOS was higher in 2015 than any year, 2008-2014? I will eagerly wait for your answer.
Wow, the butthurt about the Bo firing is still strong on this board.
Maybe people just want to deal in reality and not hyperbole just because they don't like the old coach.
A lot of us are excited about the upcoming season.
Look up your own bullshit cause it's not my problem Botard. Your boy is long gone never to return here or to any other major university as a head coach. Lol!
I never proposed the idea that Riley played a stronger schedule in 2015 than all years Bo Pelini coached at Nebraska. You did.
