Basically the fine was the amount of the textbooks. Sorry we promoted the extra reading material NCAA. Our atheletes shouldn't be reading so much anyway.
I predict future happiness for Americans if they can prevent the government from wasting the labors of the people under the pretense of taking care of them.

So, for probation, do we have to get rid of one coach? I volunteer BARNEY!
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.

So we're not winning championships under Bo but at least he's doing it the Nebraska way.
"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.

But Coop, he's a *concern* troll. That makes him marginally better than your run-of-the-mill piece-of shit-trolls.

So let me see if I have this straight.

NU letting the students buy textbooks on NU's dime is wrong, and warrants 2 years probation.


Giving $200K to a kids father to get the kid to enroll in their institution of "higher" learning is outside their pervue, and is unpunishable.


Those fucktards really need to be taken out back and shot.
Bo knows
"There's some guys that need to toughen up when it gets a little brisk out here. Wearing tights and stuff like that" for the love of God."
