I guess he wasn't a bust. I just couldn't remember him doing anything of note in his four years at NU. But he played most of his career during the Callahan years so there was only so much he could accomplish anyway.

A bust no, but not a complete super star like rozier or lawrence philips either.

By no means a Top 5 Bust though, which is the point.

Regardless of whether or not some can see, let alone acknowledge, that.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT, JEBUS CHRISTO ON A CRUTCH.

Did Suzie just concede an argument?

There is hope for the universe yet.

And he was basically saying in not so many words the Star System of rating players is flawed.

In other words, he was stating the obvious.

4k is alot of yards so I'll concede that he's probably not a top five bust. He just didn't live up to the hype.
"We play to win Championships. If you don't win a Championship it isn't a successful season." Bo's comments during fall camp 2011.

"We didn't win a championship but it isn't always about winning championships." Bo Pelini responds after finishing the regular season 9-3 and a third place finish in the Legends Division.

"We don't point the finger around here we point the thumb." Bo Pelini responds after another sluggish offensive performance. Not sure which game since our offense is always fucking awful.

"I think we can be real stout against the run, and I think our secondary is going to be really good. I mean, there's potential for us to have our best defense we've had here." Carl Pelini assesses the 2011 defense during spring ball.

"We played sloppy." Bo Pelini responds following 2009 TT, 2009 ISU, 2010 SDS, 2010 A&M, 2010 Holiday Bowl, 2011 CHATT, 2011 Fresno ST, 2011 Wisconsin, 2011 Northwestern, and Michigan 2011.

"We didn't execute." Bo Pelini following the 2012 Capital One Bowl.

"Next year if we don't play for the National Championship I'll probably be pretty disappointed." Taylor Martinez's comments following the conclusion of the 2011 season in which NU lost four games by an average of 19.75 points.

My balls smell like lotion and shit.
Running has an uncanny ability to mellow the soul, to take the edge off hard feelings, and put things back into healthy perspective.

Yeah, it's a 50 caliber. They used to use it to hunt buffalo with... up close! It's only legal in two states. And this isn't one of them.
