On the verge of Pelini's debut as Husker head man, here are some final thoughts to chew on before the Red gear up against West'n Mishagain (for you in the panhandle).

1. Bo Pelini discloses his gameday routine to the media - I didn't know Kelloggs made a cereal comprised solely of gravel.

2. At Friday's Big Red Breakfast, when asked when Pelini would hand out the Blackshirts to Husker defensive starters, Pelini responded flatly, "Someday." The crowd laughed...and then used Pelini's subsequent glare to reheat their breakfast burritos.

3. Tom Shatel used Thursday's column to warn Husker fans that Pelini's myth will shatter. Uh, Tom? Last time I checked, Adamantium doesn't shatter... (WARNING: EXTREMELY OBSCURE FICTIONAL METAL REFERENCE MEANT FOR COMIC BOOK NERDS ONLY!)

4. Bo Pelini admitted that four years ago, if asked if he would return to Nebraska he would have said, "You're crazy!" When Kevin Cosgrove was recently asked the same question, he responded, "If that Lincoln judge ever takes this bracelet off my ankle, I'd think about it. I didn't know you could get hit with a restraining order from an entire state."

5. Better Coach? Bo Pelini or Lifesize Runza? If Coach Runza won the National Championship, would they dump a jug of ranch on him? (The answer: only if he was a Swiss Mushroom...only if he was a Swiss Mushroom.)

GBR!
