Search 2007: Ten Interview Questions Being Used By Tom Osborne

Thursday. No new head coach. Really no news about a new head coach. Oh, how long can this go on??? For another four or five days, methinks. We're all eating this stuff up like candy, right?

Have you got the idea that the national media's "sources" aren't any better than anyone else's right now? Maybe Pat Forde's sources could tell him whether or not Francisco Franco is still dead.

TO has done a pretty good job of keeping this one under wraps. However, our sources went dumpster-diving and CN has discovered ten interview questions that are being asked by Nebraska interim athletic director Tom Osborne.

  1. Which Of These Are Towns in Nebraska (circle all that apply)?:
  • Wynot
  • Enid
  • Stockville
  • TinCup
  • Wahoo
  • Zurich
  • Worms
  1. "Cornhuskers" or just "Huskers"?
  1. Nebraska's main rival is (circle all that apply)?:
  • Colorado
  • Oklahoma
  • Texas
  • Kansas State
  • Missouri
  1.  What's the most recent book you read?
  1. Which would you rather have - a hard worker or a natural athlete? No, you can't have both.
  1. How does around $1.8 million per year strike you?
  1. Describe how the biblical book of Romans can be used to understand Nebraska football tradition.
  1. You know this game - word association time! First thing that comes to your head: (Corn Nation posters can play along in the comments section)
  • Walk-on
  • Bill Snyder!   (this one got Bo Pelini all messed up)
  • Sooners
  • Option
  • Jumbo Stiehm
  • Student Athlete
  • Freight train
  • Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs
  •  Jack Daniels
  •  Texas Longhorns
  • Academic All-American
  1.  It's a big game, and you've just scored with time running out to bring the score to 31-30. Do you go for two to seal the victory, or kick the extra point and play for a tie?
  1. Can you work for me knowing you'll never be as good as I was as a head coach?

Bo Pelini could be the next coach, heres my reason
So today me being the guy not doing ne thing all day but laying around being lazy because my season at college is done and my classes are a joke so why go? haha i can just take the tests and pass.  Soooo, I now turn to why I think Bo could be the next coach, I personally am not opposed and i really dont know who should be the coach.  But ne wayz, today I was laying on the couch in my dorm room pondering when all of a sudden College Football Live came across the screen, now normally i would just change the channel because they are just going to talk about their beloved Pac 10 SEC bullshit but not today, the first thing that came on the screen was TO.  I was like alright this could be good and it basically said he has made no decisions and is now recruting.  Cool, then Les Miles came on the screen about him possibly going to michigan, and then i heard something very interesting...the ad of LSU has asked michigan not to make any offers until after saturday after their game.  Now think about it, that means he probably made the same request to TO with BO.  So now maybe this is all just crazy but TO said he would announce the coach rather sooner than later but what if he can't until after saturday because its BO?  I mean after that comment if it was Gill you would think he would have been announced so that he could start recruting.  IDK call me crazy but this is just a thought.

You forgot one

The tie breaker question was, "What's your favorite Runza?"

Plain Runza is too, well, vanilla and would suggest that you play it too safe.

Cheese Runza is the obvious choice, so no bonus points there.

But if you answered Swiss Mushroom Runza you are a creative mind that may be able to successfully employ the spread option.

*Sidenote: I have it on good authority that Callahan's answer to this question was, "I don't order off the menu. I take what I want."
