Nebraska Welcomes Back Bo

It's no myth that Husker football is held in high esteem in Nebraska. It isn't considered just a sport, more of an obsession, or a religion. Several years agos, the Nebraska football program bid farewell to former head coach Frank Solich. Steve Pederson, Husker's athletic director, believed the best course of action would be to welcome former Oakland Raiders head coach Bill Callahan to the Husker football squad. This was a gamble. Similar to Friar Laurence uniting Romeo and Juliet, Steve Pederson united Bill Callahan with Nebraska Husker football. Both conclusions proved tragic.

Now, the Husker football program is starting anew. The program is welcoming back former Husker defensive coordinator Bo Pelini, only this time as head coach. Husker fans are all but eager to witness how Bo Pelini approaches this opportunity, and what changes he will make to benefit the Husker football program. Bo Pelini has proven once to be a successful head coach, having taken the Huskers to an Alamo Bowl championship (after Frank Solich was fired before the conclusion of the season. It will be exciting to see how Pelini molds the new Husker program.

The above video clip (created by a native of Omaha, who now resides in Chicago, IL), expresses the enthusiasm that Husker fans all over are experiencing. Husker fans all over the midwest must be excited to welcome back Bo. This defines the pathos of this clip. Bo Pelinis return to UNL turf is generating much positive commotion, and overall a more optimistic view from Husker fans state/region-wide. Husker fans have seemed to look disdainfully on past head coach Bill Callahan. Fans rest assured that Bo Pelini will in fact reconstruct the UNL football franchise, and help each team with the aspects that make them great (i.e. Coach Pelini specializes in defensive coordinating; this is a major pro, as our defense last year was ranked near the bottom of the list of the entire NCAA). Nebraskans seem confident with Coach Pelini returning to the Husker football program.

Although this video clip is initially intended for a real ADIDAS commercial, it is obvious a fan has edited and dubbed in voices. Visual narration is being used in this "commercial", as it portrays numerous all-star athletes making references (which are indeed overdubbed) to Bo Pelini. This visual narration builds morale and is intended to get fans pumped up for the new season that lie ahead.

Bo Pelini will statistically prove to be a successful coach. It should be noted that he currently holds the best head coaching record: he has coached one college football game, which he won. His credibility, or his ethos, as a coach will be the defining factor. Just about every team he has collaborated with (Oklahoma, Louisiana State, Nebraska) has improved with his prescence, specifically in the defensive department. He helped the Louisiana State Tigers to a national championship (as defensive coordinator), and in his one year at Nebraska, the Huskers showed blatant signs of rectification. The video shows ethos by creating a prestigious image of Bo Pelini, what with all of the superstars explaining what category of athletic technique Bo Pelini is prominant with.

Many Husker fans are showing obvious signs of excitement. Since the departure of former coach Tom Osbourne, fans have sought to relinquish the past Husker glory days. This could be compared to their excitement to bring Bo back. Fans seem extremely eager for the Fall football season, and have shown great care and respect toward Bo Pelini, and spirits will remain high when the Huskers hit the football turf once again. Rehiring Bo Pelini is another mirror effect of Shakespeares story of Romeo and Juliet. Uniting Pelini with Nebraska Husker football will generate an interesting outcome. Most fans have reason to believe that whatever conclusion may lie ahead will be slightly less tragic than that of the previous Nebraska football head coach.
