Bo Pelini suggests Ole Miss dirty in its recruiting tactics

Two years ago they signed the number one rated offensive tackle in the nation.
After an extensive recruiting process he had narrowed his choices to Bama and LSU.
He never visited Ole Miss.
On national signing day he signed with the Rebels. Hmmmm?
I know an Ole Miss grad who is an Orthaepedic Surgeon here in O.S..
I said, "Wow, you guys got the best O-Tackle prospect in America".
His reply, "Yeah, which means we're going to be on probation, sooner than later".
I'm not saying nuthin at this point.
sip

Sure it's no time before ole Hugh fires back with a smart 'aleck' comment of his own.

If you can't prove it, don't say it. Pelini is an emotional shipwreck. That being said, at least, it's one middle tier program calling out another. Seems like a fair fight.

Pelini also suggested water is wet. All of this was said during an interview with Duh magazine.

Bo Pelini should get the Captian Obvious award.

My how the Huskers have fallen since Osborne

Ole Mi$$ sends it's money out to laundered so it won't be dirty so Pelini is mistaken.

Yeah this isn't exactly your dad's or granddad's Nebraska.

A guy from Youngstown, Oh. Calling Ole Miss dirty? Something is wrong with that statement.

True enough let them hash it out.

When I worked for Harrah's Entertainment one of the VP's was an Ole Miss graduate. That recruit's mom you're talking about allegedly received $10K and some door prizes. Was the guy's last name Massey or something like that? This VP said "It cost us $10K and some "door prizes". Was he kidding? I'm not sure. But he sure as heck didn't sound like it.

Michael Oher just kidding. I believe it was Massey.

Ole Miss landed their best recruiting class ever, leaving even their coach kind of dumbfounded to explain it. Basically, towards the end there you knew if someone was undecided, and being recruited by Ole Miss, there was a good chance they'd end up there. They were getting guys Alabama wanted, now just think about that for a bit.

It was more than obvious what was going on there, this wasn't like Massey which left you scratching your head. This was a series of head scratches that reached the point that there was no need to even be confused or wonder what was going on. I guess they figured that if Auburn was getting away with it, they might as well give it a shot, but I'm not sure I've seen a series of more obvious buys than what Ole Miss did.

Doesn't matter how many recruits they buy; won't buy them a NC.

That only works at API.

What's more surprising to me is that Nebraska has kept Pelini as long as they have..They can & should do much better than what Pelini has done there..It's a shame cause I've always have had lots of respect for the Cornhuskers..I hope they give him the boot after this year & hire them a better HC than Pelini..

During the 2000's, Big 12 programs made several hires from SEC coordinators that were odd.

Texas pulled Cheezit from the barn after the 2004 season, he was part of their BCSNC in 05, and then he left after the 06 season to take over at Iowa State.
Will Muschamp was the DC at the barn during the 06-07 seasons and then took over the DC position at Texas for the 08 season.
Bo Pelini had come from the Big 12 to take the DC posltion at LSU and then returned to the Big 12 as the Nebraska HC for the 08 season.

Chizik was a total failure at Iowa State, which obviously made him highly-sought for the barn's HC position when Tubberville left.
Muschamp hung around Texas like a vulture in-waiting for Mack to bow out, finally got tired of waiting for the carrion, and took the HC at Florida after Urban's gut exploded from being processed badly in two straight years. Things aren't looking great for him right now.
Pelini's not a fan favorite either after his publicized tirade and several mediocre seasons.

Bob Stoops was hired in 1999 from his DC position under Spurrier at UF and has been very successful at OU, even though he only has the one NC. Multiple other hires of coordinators and head coaches from the SEC followed and most of them ended in failure for those Big 12 teams. Franchione slithered out of Alabama to much fanfare in College Station, took one of the worst shellackings of modern history from the Sooners, embodied the term mediocre while at aTm, and then disgraced the program with his exclusive newsletter scheme. Tubberville came to Texas Tech after Craig James buried a slaughtered hooker and Mike Leach, had a decent record there, but bolted for Cincinnati a couple of years ago. Charlie Weis was hired just a couple of years ago after a one-year stint as Florida's OC and although he fits Mangino's leftover wardrobe nicely, he hasn't provided much of a decided schematic advantage for the JayHawks. Add these cases to those mentioned above and it's no wonder that the Big 12 doesn't like the SEC. Coaches that do well in the SEC go to die in the Big 12 in most cases.

I know you shouldn't judge a fellow by his looks, but BP has always looked like he was a couple of sandwhiches short of a picnic.

Mississippi State says they will fork over the 180K (200K less 10% discount) next time.

I don't think any school will ever be put on major probation for recruiting violations ever again, AU gave everyone the blueprint on how to beat the NCAA. Lawyer up and play dumb then the NCAA can't touch you.
