Common Fan - A Nebraska Football Podcast

Bo-liever or Bo-leaver?

Listen Later

The Common Fans bring you Episode 3 of The Reckoning series. This episode, featuring long time Nebraska reporters Sam McKewon and Brandon Vogel, focuses on the question: Bo-liever or Bo-leaver?

The crew looks at:

  • The hiring of Bo "restored the House of Osborne," according to Sam McKewon. 
  • Pelini's fire was a welcome change from the more stoic Callahan, but it was evident from early on that his temper was fierce - and perhaps a detriment to the team. 
  • Pelini's early success - two conference championship game appearances in his first three years - contrasted with the volatile and, at times, dysfunctional way he ran the team.
  • Two massive turning points in the middle of Bo's tenure: Nebraska's move to the Big 10, and the unexpected blowout loss against Wisconsin in the 2012 Big 10 championship game. 
  • The impact of Shawn Eichorst coming in as Athletic Director in 2012. 
  • The infamous tape after the 2013 UCLA game. 
  • The 2014 Wisconsin game that sealed his fate. 
  • And much, much more. 

    • Special thanks to Brandon Vogel of the Counter Read for joining the Common Fans for all of The Reckoning episodes. Make sure to check out www.counterread.com for Brandon's excellent coverage of Nebraska football, college football, and other Nebraska sports.
