[Husker] Casey Martinez Talks to the LA Times

[Matt]

Lots of strong opinions today. Is it too early for ALL CAPS? :)

I can see both loving and hating Bo (I love the guy, personally). But one
thing seems clear: his players and staff love and respect him. Other recent
'bullies' weren't shown a lot of love by their former players (Leach,
Mangino) once they were shown the door; there seemed to be some built up
animosity. I can't imagine that would happen if Pelini left. To me, their
opinion matters most.

Again, I'm not in the locker room - maybe half of the players hate him, too.
:)

I keep forgetting there's a game tonight.  GBR!
