Bo Knows What it Takes to Be a Griz.....

...or should we say a Husker. Either way, so very good comments from Bo Pelini, HC of Nebraska, in regard as to what it means to represent your school even if you are young.

Nebraska coach Bo Pelini, speaking in general terms about how coaches must behave, said Saturday he talks to his players often about holding themselves to higher standards. He said both players and coaches must be "guarded at all times" and aware they are under the microscope.

"Like it or not, that's what you signed up for and that's your responsibility," Pelini said. "You're responsible to people way beyond just you -- first and foremost your family, the athletic department, the football team, the players, your staff, everybody you're associated with."

Pelini said he keeps that thought in mind anytime he's in public.

"Your reputation is your greatest asset," Pelini said. "You better protect it at all times."

These comments are in regard to the Petrino incident but I believe they are words of wisdom for all student athletes.
