Oh Boy: Bo Pelini Went on Rant Against Nebraska A.D After Firing

((ht: omaha.com))

Yikes! Talk about leaving the earth scorched behind you. And we're guessing that new Youngstown State coach Bo Pelini and Nebraska athletic director Shawn Eichorst won't be exchanging Christmas Cards.

The Omaha World-Herald got ahold of an audio tape of Pelini's last meeting with his former team on December 2nd.

And in it, he calls Eichorst, someone he says wanted nothing to do with him or his team...a "total prick" and a "total cunt".

And that was only a small portion of the expletive filled rant that Pelini says was borne of his frustration and aggravation that had built during the last two years of his tenure.

Pelini added he's happy to now be somewhere where the school president (Former Ohio St. coach Jim Tressel) "Understands Football".

Geez...

Talk about leaving on bad terms. Pelini is currently due a pro-rated portion of his $7.9 million buyout. However there's talk that disparaging comments might affect that payout.

Either way, he's obviously happy to leave.

The question we have is this: If Pelini felt so comfortable saying this to his players and coaches, why would one or the other have leaked this rant?

Yeah....

We're guessing Nebraska's gift to Bo this year might be a box of kitty litter.

Here's a story on Pelini's arrival in Youngstown from WKBN-TV:

And there was much celebrating by @FauxPelini...

It appears, according to multiple reports, the cat loving former head coach of the Nebraska Cornhuskers will be announced as the new head coach at Youngstown State sometime Wednesday afternoon.

Pelini was fired upon the end of the season just a couple of weeks ago after 7 seasons in Lincoln where he compiled at 67-27 record.

He'll replace Eric Wolford who was let go from Youngstown after five seasons at the Ohio school.

More on the announcement once it's made official.

Ever Seen A Butt Punt? A Whole New Meaning To A Kick In The Ass From A Teammate

Just when you thought you have seen it all in college football Youngstown State brings you the "Butt Punt"

Penguin punter Joey Cejundo tried a rugby punt and it went so wrong and Jacob Wood got the point of the football right up the anal cavity.


By the way Illinois won the game 28-17.

Jim Tressel Selected As New Youngstown State University President

[HT: The Youngstown (OH) Vindicator]

Back in the day successful head football coaches would eventually become the athletic directors.

Former Ohio State head coach Jim Tressel has set a new precedent.

Tressel, who was the head football coach at Youngstown State from 1986 - 2000, was unanimously selected by the University's trustees as the new president of YSU.

Excited about the opportunity at YSU! It’s all about student success. Going to miss all the wonderful Zips at UA.

In a statement Tressel said,  "We are honored and privileged to accept the board’s offer, and we are humbled by this opportunity to return to the area and school that we deeply love."

Tressel has two years remaining on his show cause penalty imposed by the NCAA for major violations on his watch as Ohio State head coach.  The NCAA accused Tressel of withholding information regarding their investigation of the memorabilia-for-tattoos scandal.

Dr. Sudershan Garg, Youngstown State University trustees chairman said university attorneys look into to Tressel's show cause and don't think it should affect his ability to perform as university president.

"As long as you acknowledge it and move forward, you have to look at the positive aspects of the individual." Garg said.

Tressel leaves his job as the executive vice president for student success at the University of Akron where he was also a candidate for university president.

Here's reaction from current Youngstown State head coach Eric Wolford.

TWTW: More Upsets In Memphis, Houston, Pittsburgh, and Berkeley

((HT: WREG-TV Memphis)

40,000 fans were in attendance at the Liberty Bowl as Tennessee-Martin visited the Tigers from the Ohio Valley Conference...

And after a 2:40 rain delay, it wasn't good news for the home team- and they were the ones handing out the check... they lost to the Skyhawks 20-17...

Here's a story about the weather since, the game was secondary to the home team. The HQ is sure that Tigers fans would rather see the story below instead of highlights...


Texas State shocked the University of Houston 30-13 for the school's first win in the FBS. Cougs QB David Piland is not Case Keenum as he went 17 of 44 for 211... remember he went 2-6 as the starter when Keenum went down in 2010.

Congrats to Coach Dennis Franchione and everyone in San Marcos...

Youngstown State wasn't given much of a chance against Pitt and their new head coach Paul Chryst, except by Brother Marty The Penguin Grad naturally, but the Pens went into Heinz Field and won 31-17...

The fans, naturally, were out of their tree...

And it was a day for ribbon cutting and celebrating the new stadium on campus, but Nevada had more ideas- including a score with 36 seconds left to beat the Bears in Berkeley...

Here's a look at the new barn...
