I saw that. Feel bad for the kid. He didn't ask for any of this after his punishment. He is being used.
I feel bad for the judge who got shot and might not live

Naturally. I figured that was inferred. Although the way things are nowadays it is probably safe to assume a bunch of people take enjoyment out of that.
So many levels of sadness in this whole story. Start with the girl who gets drunk and gets raped while she's out of it. Add in a couple of peri-pubesccent boys who are also under the influence but not so drunk to prevent them from perpetrating the act. They really messed up her life and their lives. Now add in a distraught dad who did something crazy no doubt fueled by anger reignited by the YSU debacle. Finally a judge who apparently had nothing to do with the whole deal gets shot. What a mess.
Everything you've written about the dad and judge and YSU and by extension Pelini is wrong or made up, perhaps both. The judge was handling a wrongful death case that dad had filed. And your "no doubt fueled by anger reignited by the YSU debacle" is your guess, nothing more, and assumes an old anger and that YSU and Pelini impacted this felon's decisions in any way. But keep looking for reasons to disparage Bo.
Most adults would get 25+ years in prison for what that dirt bag did. 1 1/2 year in juvy is a joke.
Well everything I posted was taken from news stories written in supposedly reputable wire services (AP) and newspapers about the situation. The only link known evidently at the time of my post between the judge and the old man was that the judge's son had done some preliminary work as an assistant prosecutor in the original rape trial so stick it. I didn't incriminate Pelini in any way shape or form and you're a fool if you think that the YSU situation didn't impact the kid's dad. Personally knowing how binge drinking parties go (from personal experience many decades ago) with teenagers IMO the kid likely poses no risk to ever offend again and should be allowed to go on with his life without protests and petitions. I tell my daughter that IF she chooses to drink bad things will happen to her and she then bears some of the responsibility. I can criticize and dislike Bo for lots of reasons but I haven't on this one. I find it a little odd that he would do what he did but whatever.

Keep looking for reasons to be his champion. Good for you.
Part of me says yep you are right. And part of me says thats bullshit. Drink and bad things will happen to you.
Prepare them for the worst and try to change the way people think I guess. Im not so sure about the guy likely posing no future risk though. Alcohol doesnt make you a monster, it just makes it easier for the piece of shit at some peoples core to get out easier.
Resident angry child, I'm not championing Bo or anyone else here. DF makes a few assumptions of "why" a criminal acted criminally, assigning blame where he has zero, zero personal idea if he's correct; but uses the opportunity to blame "the YSU debacle" for the criminal activity yet claim he wasn't in any manner incriminating Bo. Uh-huh. Sure. But you keep up your thing.

Ok old guy. You sure get upset when someone points out your bias. Carry on, and have an angry-old-man day!
FYBP is a miserable excuse for a coach. Glad he's embarrassing somebody else's University and not ours.
Alcohol affects different people differently. My 165 lb sons thinks he can whip anybody when he's had a few drinks which is pretty out of character for him. Yeah it can expose character flaws but it also makes good people do really stupid stuff. I'm going to give a drunk 16 year old some benefit of the doubt but clearly there's some mental instability in his family tree so who knows. There's a reason our juvenile justice system was set up the way it was. I've seen it let kids get off way too easy but I've also seen it work effectively and prevent one bad decision from ruining an entire life.

Clearly the original stories were inaccurate and I based my ASSumptions on those. Papa had alot going on in his feeble mind and screwed up life. Rehashing his son's problems in the national media surely didn't help but was likely just one more factor. BTW. my mention of the YSU debacle could have just have easily been construed as condemning the petition organizers. So you made a wild assumption as well.
The only reason this thread exists is because someone wanted to try to throw some shade on a former coach.
Change the effin' record already. I don't see anybody leading the charge for his return. Get over him and move on with your life already. Good Lord, I wish I had time time to worry about such pointless s***.

Yea I don't understand it either. Why Bo is even brought up. Just assuming posters are trying to find clear separation in the reason why MR is so much better than Bo and short of MR giving us good reasons they look to Bo for giving us bad reasons.
So, we aren't going to bring up any former players and what they are doing now, or any other coaches and what they are doing now? Or is this just a can't bring up Pelini issue? Or is it a negative connotation issue? I'm confused as to what is fair game.
If Frank Solich signs a felon to play for Ohio and the players dad shoots a judge, I am 99% sure that situation is talked about on here.
I am not sure it's discussed on here simply because it's Pelini.

Hey man... like..... that's not ok. Bo is a Saint, and if you speak his name this kind of reaction will happen because his champions get all triggered

Fair point, but Solich left with some class. Pelini always was a vindictive clown.
Ok. I guess. I'm not sure we are on opposite sides here. Pelini is a clown and Solich left with class, but if either of them is in this position it would be a topic on this board.
I'm guessing that the fire that killed the man's mother and nephew (this was the wrongful death case the judge was presiding over) may have been bigger issues in this man's life than Bo Pelini. Yet even that is conjecture. Sadly we don't always know what is going on in the mind of folks who act irrationally.

Are you a little snowflake? Nobody said you couldn't bring it up. I only said I don't understand it and gave my opinion. Evidently you got your feelings hurt by that. You can bring up anything you want........we can respond to it how we want.
Please. Ha ha flex your internet muscles elsewhere tough guy.
You and others not wanting Pelini's name brought up because you don't want to talk about it anymore is you being a snowflake.
I don't know why we have to talk about Bo, get over it, he's not here anymore. You're just trying to make Riley look good. Waah waah.
This thread is a simple case of six degrees of separation just to poo-poo on Bo. He was a coach who didn't get it done here. So what? Move the f*** on. It's not that rare thing! There are plenty of things in this world to get upset about but some of your guy's obsession with Bo is just bizarre. Move the f*** on with your lives already.
Okay bro. Nobody has ever said that Bo was a saint or wanted him back here.
But most of us don't think about him 24/7.

No kidding. I could have sworn there was an article written about Pelini that lead to this thread.
Snowflakes.
Ok Tom. There is no direct mention of Bo Pelini. But it does mention the shooter's son as a convicted sex offender and a player at Youngstown St.
Most of us can connect the dots to the story from a week ago where the head coach at Youngstown St allowed the above mentioned player to be on the team.

First, you said the article "was about Bo Pelini." It doesn't mention his name or even allude to Bo. Captain Nick above was right about the six degrees of separation just to poo-poo on Bo.
Please. The guy is a former coach at Nebraska, when his name or program is in the news, it's going to be discussed. Get over it. this isn't six degrees of separation. It's at best 3.
Bo Pelini has a relationship with the son of the guy mentioned in this article.

Mercy! YSU gets a slight mention in a story and it sets off Bo paranoia. Go to sleep little one. The big bad boogie man is not coming back to hurt your feelings.
Bo Pelini is "discussed" on this board like CNN "discusses" Donald Trump" on a nightly basis.
An actual "discussion" would be nice for a change.
