Bo understands

Frostfan · Nov 26, 2012

Let's just say Bo and the Huskers have been extremely fortunate. Fortunate in Evanston that the last second field goal went wide by a foot, fortunate when Brady Hoke played the wrong backup after 75% of his offense was injured, and fortunate that the touchdown by Penn State midway through the 4th quarter was called a fumble.

So what? Nebraska is in the BIG title game!!! Maybe this time they won't need luck or a comeback to beat Wisconsin. GBR.

GFOA was wrong about Solich. GFOA was wrong about calllahan. And now he's wrong about Pelini.

GFOA is in the middle of a three coach losing streak.

Too bad he is not as lucky as Bo.

Eventually he'll get lucky and get it right. If he lives that long.

Then he will appreciate what Bo has gone thru; walk a mile in my shoes revelation kind of stuff.

The first 3 paragraphs of your reply are really sickening. I won't respond to utter nonsense.

The last paragraph is just silly...even the Head Coach is saying we've been lucky. Did you watch the games? Below is something I posted in another thread and it doesn't even comment on all the luck at the NW game (including the FG missed by 1 foot after they drove the field in that last seconds)...we were plenty lucky there...that's for sure:

GFOA- not sure why you are working so hard here to convince everyone that Nebraska has been luckyâ€¦? It happens every year- some team seems to win every close game theyâ€™re in and this leads some to say those teams have been lucky and arenâ€™t as good as their record might suggest (see Michigan State last year, or even Notre Dame this year!).
Youâ€™re obviously a smart guy. Your posts remind me a little of Sunovaâ€™s, who is also not given to sugar coating things. This can ruffle some feathers. But youâ€™re pushing this point so hard here that you begin to lose credibility. For example- in your post above (I always love it, by the way, when people quote themselves !) you say that Penn State â€œgave us a four yard TD drive after an INT.â€ Go back and watch that play. Stafford makes an excellent break on the ball and pulls off a very athletic interception. That is not luck and doesnâ€™t qualify as something that was â€œgivenâ€ to us. To do so is a misrepresentation and costs you credibility, IMO.
I donâ€™t get your treatment of Harms Way 06 above. I thought his post you quoted was logical enough, yet you used words like â€œsickeningâ€ and â€œsillyâ€ to describe itâ€¦.?
Maybe because of my age, but I do agree with you in that I have always believed that the level of discontent with TO back in the 70s and 80s gets overblown nowadays. In terms of consistency and sustained success, TO has no equal and probably never will, so anyone who expects it to be duplicated now is in for a lot of frustration.

Good post North Cove. Trying to appeal to GFOA's logic is a dead end street. If your effort if it is like most, it will be met with his vitriol and ire or an inference or implication that only an idiot would post something like that. In spite of the his apparent intelligence and excellent communication skills he posts something like the following:

Why do I post? Good question...probably too much time on my hands coupled with a desire to help others understand the history and state of the program. There is far too much incorrect information posted here. As I love the program, I hate seeing it misrepresented.

That implies most all of the minions that post here are ignorant of the history and state of the program and only his opinion holds any validity. Statements like that are adequate evidence to me that intelligent individuals can also be fools. It is stuff like this which convinces me that the F in his moniker may have a double meaning.

Ha ..I love it. Everyone that goes after GFOA are just as much a troll as GFOA my be.
Lets look at the definition shall we.

An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum or chat room, with the primary intent of provoking other users into an emotional response or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion.
To be a good Internet Troll you must copy and paste this definition all over the internet.

Who went off topic here first? GFOA came on here and posted a article and gave his thoughts. The name calling started, the razing and hazing began and you all started in like a bunch of perinea on a piece of live flesh. I really love the parts when the members start high 5ing each other because they really do believe GFOA cares what they have to say...I can almost assure you he doesn't. I like GFOA not just because he doesnt like BO..(I cant stand the man myself) but because he does have some knowledge of the program and also this stuff here is good entertainment. The threads started by GFOA is worth the price of admission.

So, with all that being said. You all can go back to your love of all things BO and your dislike of anyone who thinks differently and I'm just gonna kick back and eat some

opcorn: and watch what happens. As you see this was/is a troll post as well. Only difference is...I am willing to admit it while others on here would rather point fingers....ha

This here is some fun stuff y'all please keep it up

Bo Pelinis Gum · Nov 26, 2012

Nothing wrong with being lucky. Ask any athlete or any coach, and they will all say with skill, determination and a little bit of luck, you can go a long ways. I do however think you are discrediting what has been done this season with a blanket statement of just luck. There is a lot to be proud of in this years team. And I truly hope you see that.
