Bo Big Red: Huskers Spring Practice is 2 weeks away Print E-mail

{mosimage} On Wednesday, March 26, 2008 the Bo Pelini Era will officially begin in Lincoln as the start of spring practice for the Nebraska Cornhuskers kicks off. One thing for certain is that Bo will not stand for any "off-the-field" hijinks on his watch. In Pelini's first 100 days (that was as of Monday March 10th) Pelini has been open and accessible to former and current players as well as appearing at many different events in the state. However what transpired this past weekend made it perfectly clear that if you "mess-up" you will pay the consequences for your actions. Case in point was the fact that two former players were penalized for events that occurred at a party this past Saturday.

Carl Nicks was banned from participating in today's (March 12, 2008) Pro day at Lincoln and has been banned from being around the program because of the bad example he set, Maurice Purify, may also be banned because of the party. Bo made it perfectly clear that "a zero-tolerance policy regarding alcohol and social responsibility is now in effect".

Pelini stated that in team meetings "what happens in team meetings, stays in the team meetings". But based on this new law that was laid down, it doesn't take a frickin genius to figure out that this team meeting was not full of "warm and fuzzes". "Until you put the pads on and play football, it's really hard to earmark it," Pelini said. "I think things will become clear pretty quickly." Bo went on to say that "Our job is not to fit players to the system," he said. "It's to fit our system to the players." Once again Bo made it through an entire press conference with the local media without mentioning any single player by name, once again promoting "TEAM" over individual. This is just another positive sign in this writers mind on the coaching change.

Another change to look for in this year's spring game is the prospect of the number 1 offense playing against the number 1 defense, something that the previous regime stayed totally away from. "It depends on where we are at that point, I'm sure that there will be some of that" Pelini stated, but that it was hard to speculate on that until you see how the spring drills go and what you have injury wise. Pelini went on to say that the spring practice is where you lay the foundation and establish principals that will be in place for the long haul to make the program flourish. Man I can't wait for March 26th to get here, GBR, OUT!
