[Mike and Kel]

Come on Bob, take a swing. I know we should have hired that 10 year veteran coach with the 100% winning record. And who would have that been. 

In the mean time get off the fence. We all know what you think of Pelini but you have to hedge your bet just in case- God forbid - this works out.

I don't care who the coach is. I'll be on the front seat of the bandwagon until it crashes and I'll hop right on the next one.

Mike
