Canceling the signing day press conference, as 25-year tradition? Why? Who gives Bo Pelini the right to piss on this day, the only day NU football fans have to look forward to between the Holiday Bowl debacle and the first game.
Pelini continues to amaze PYB as an absolute PR disaster. He doesn't respect the NU fans, or the media that tries to publicize his team to the folks funding his salary. And now, he obviously doesn't respect the NU tradition. It takes more than a 10-4 fizzle-out season to pull stunts like this. Lord knows he needs some good publicity given the fact that the last few images Husker fans have of him are: meltdown at Texas A&M, choke job against Oklahoma, disaster against Washington.
What is the harm here? If you're too embarrassed to field questions about your terrible offense and mediocre-at-best coaching staff, then that's a problem in itself. Maybe Taylor Martinez ordered Pelini to cancel it, not wanting future QBs Bubba Starling and Jamal Turner to get a jump on replacing him as Nebraska's next darling.
But, if a coach is a prick enough to cancel his yearly Football 101 clinic, which benefits breast cancer, then it's obvious he doesn't get it at all. Never will. Either Bo is content digging his own grave in Lincoln, or has one foot out the door anyway.
Right now, the inmates at the NU AD are getting away with murder: Pelini and Martinez---and don't forget Mike Anderson. Hey TO, wake up. You have an athletic department to run.
