Bo Pelini’s alter ego is a Chicagoan who normally bats out tweets while watching Nebraska games at a sports bar or friend’s house. Not Saturday. The brains behind the equally dimwitted and clever @FauxPelini will be at Ryan Field on Saturday night to witness the battle of NUs.
He was kind enough to take a break from stroking his cat to answer some questions from the Tribune. As @FauxPelini might say, take a listen:
I hear you will be at Ryan Field on Saturday. Won’t it be hard to tweet while you are swinging your baseball cap at the refs?
I’ll be there but I am hearing there are wifi/cell reception issues at Ryan Field so violence will be on the table. Are there rules against projectiles or small fires in the stadium? Or maybe we could hang out and you could tweet for me, unless the Tribune is weird about hurtful curse words let me know asap pls.
Assuming you bring your cat, won’t it get its butt kicked by a wildcat? Or could there be love in the air?
My cat will be fine. If you have to put “wild” before the name of a thing it doesn’t make that thing scarier, does it? Oh, it’s a “wild” cat?? Still a cat. If I call my pants “wild pants” are they scarier? OK bad example but still.
You have 135,414 followers as of Tuesday morning. The fellow who tweets under @BoPelini has 95,781. Do you think he is jealous?
I’ll trade followers with him if we can also trade salaries. In fact could you ask him about that after the game I will do it. Tell him I’m not joking pls.
Who is your top celebrity follower and why aren’t you stalking that person?
That person is Ndamukong Suh and I am stalking him very much. In fact if you are reading this N. please send me a direct message and just let me know how your day is going if you have a chance pls also did you get my telegrams and brownies?
You tweeted to @CoachFitz51: “how many situps can you do in 1 minute I can do 76.” What would you say to those of us who have not done 76 situps since the day we were born?
If I would bother to talk to you people at all I would yell at you about how fat and small you are, except I usually don’t yell at fat small people unless they are refereeing football games.
You tweeted: “Auburn, Texas A&M and Missouri all lost on Saturday, so much for SEC dominance.” If the SEC put together an all-star team, do you think it could compete with the Huskers?
I’m sorry I got distracted reading this question I was thinking about how we beat Georgia in our bowl game last year, what were you saying Freddy?
You offered $88 to all your followers if Ameer Abdullah scored two touchdowns Saturday. I hear he scored 19 in a flag football game. Pay up.
Look, if there is no video it didn’t happen, just ask Manzeil (sic) and Winston, ZING.

Michigan State punter Mike Sadler did a “pet the imaginary cat” thing in your honor after he pinned the Huskers at the 2. Think he could have stuck it at the 1 had he been a little more focused on the task at hand?
Sadler is my favorite non-Nebraska punter so I won’t say anything bad about him, but I did appreciate the punt return TD play he let us run. He’s a good sport and when we have a rematch in Indianapolis I will high five him at least once.
