The Taylor Martinez Unsubstantiated Rumor Thread

For the last couple of hours, Twitter and the Interwebs have been abuzz with a report that Taylor Martinez has left the football program. Max Olson of the Daily Nebraskan offers the most definitive statement yet via Twitter:

Rumors swirling regarding Taylor Martinez's status with team. Three sources have told me he did not attend team meetings today.

Discuss and link as necessary...we'll keep this thread updated if anything else emerges.

UPDATES:

8:39 PM Bleacher Report says it's confirmed.

9:15 PM WOWT-Channel 6 in Omaha says via Twitter that Martinez missed a team meeting, but has not left the team.

9:25 PM ESPN.com's Joe Schad:

Taylor Martinez's HS coach, Matt Logan, told me he just spoke w the QB, who said: "Everything is fine. I haven't quit the team."

9:27 PM Sean Callahan also reports

From Taylor Martinez's high school coach Matt Logan: "I just talked to Taylor. He has not quit." So there you have it.

9:35 PM Mitch Sherman from the Sweet Newspaper talked to Pelini

Reached shortly before 8 p.m., Pelini said the status of his freshman quarterback had not changed since the end of Huskers' 9-6 loss Saturday at Texas A&M.

"He's still on the team," the coach said.

...

Asked if he expected Martinez to continue with the Huskers this week as they prepare for Friday's regular-season finale at home against Colorado, Pelini said yes.

10:30 PM One of the original sources for this story, a new blog called "BigRedCritic" has disappeared from the internet; Blogspot saying "Blog Not Found."  Bleacher Report has also taken their original story down.

No I think you're right.

The “big reporters” in all of this (LJS, OWH) are totally silent. I’m not sure if thats good, bad or nothing at all. You’d think they’d be working their butts off to get a source to confirm/deny.

As long as those refs don’t work the CU game or the Big XII championship (if Neb makes it). Those refs are so tainted now.

by meatybob on Nov 21, 2010 8:54 PM CST reply actions  

Seconded most heartily.

Everyone’s been dunning Pelini for his behavior, and justly, for the most part. But the officials are supposed to be above it as well. Those guys get paid to be impartial even if he pisses on their shoes, and by the end of the game it was obvious NU wasn’t getting a fair shake. Loss of focus and maturity on all sides, save Texas A&M’s coaching staff.

To be fair, they didn't have much to whine about ;)

That would certainly be an interesting situation though. Who’d be the acting head coach for the game? Watson? Brown?

I Would Bet

That if Nebraska makes the Big XII Championship Game, they won’t get a fair shake from the officials. This is payback for leaving the conference.

Back in ‘90, the UNLV Runnin’ Rebels absolutely destroyed Duke102-72 in the Championship game. UNLV was supposed to go on suspension the following season, but the players petitioned the NCAA and the suspension was put on hold for a year. UNLV dominated the next season, and rattled off win after win. I think their closest game all year until the NCAA tournament was a 12 point win. Then they made it to the Final Four where they again faced Duke. I told my Dad before the game, “There’s no way the NCAA lets Tarkanian win another championship.” I was right. Christian Laettner and the rest of the Duke team were allowed to mug UNLV’s players all night long while the UNLV players could barely breathe on a Duke player without a foul being called. Duke won 79-77. After the game, I put up a sign that said, NCAA 79, UNLV 77. This is what Nebraska will deal with in a Big XII Championship game. No way the Big XII lets Nebraska leave the conference as champions.

Well Perlman did say that they were going to "address" that

That could make for a very interesting Friday. I’d be extremely concerned about the defense. Does anyone else on that staff understand our defensive schemes sufficiently enough to call the game?

And who would be the “head coach” for the game? To me either Watson (highest ranked remaining coach) or Brown (he’s associate HC right?) would be the logical choices. Surely no one from the defensive side of the ball…they’d have their hands full enough anyway.

Nebraska unfortunately is in denial about the future of the program. Nebraska deserves better than a couple “thugs from Youngston” as coaches. Just because Nebraska cannot beat the University of Texas (even in bad year for UT) but A&M? I really do not understand how the corns think they can do any better in the Big 10. If Pelini keeps alienating players and going into uncontrollable state of emotional melt down. (Nice word for mental problems) Look at the man’s eyes, did you ever see Davant or Osbourne act like this hoodlum. Sometimes when you have been knocked around the devil and his brother look like a pretty good deal; however, in the end you have to do it the right way with a little class and stability. It would be great for the corns to part ways with Pelini now. He continues get more and more un-stable by the week. It will be hard for us to win consistently with this type of crazy around the program. Any young man who witnessed his behavior irregardless of the bad officiating would not want to play for a man that conducts himself weekly on TV live a thug from Youngstown. I know the parents of Martinez, Cotton and others did not like seeing their son undressed on national TV in addition to the physical aggression demonstrated by this very violent looking cook. It would be in Martinez’s best interest to move on and not be subjected this type verbal and emotional abuse. We will never win a big game with someone that thinks every loss he is cheated, singled out, or being paid back? This typical of a paranoid thug. The great state of Nebraska needs a solid, respectful, thoughtful,and mature leader to teach young men to win and loss with grace. What an example, the Pelini’s move on back to Youngston and leave this great University before you really leave us in a worse mess.

There are so many things wrong with his post, I’m not sure where to begin.

He is not a “thug” from Youngstown, he just has to let these things play out. Quit talking to the officials, have some sense of decorum. I love the Pelinis and fret the day that they may take better jobs (LSU, Ohio State, etc.). I would just like to see them act a little more professionally.

The Drama

Good lord the Drama. Almost like an all-girls school. Same old crap like when Crouch took off for Omaha or the Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend when Solich got his walking papers.

Pelini acted like a petulent little brat for most of the game; however, the calls were pretty piss poor as well. If that crew is not reviewed by the Big XII then I will start to buy-in to the conspiracy theories.

Osborne will step in and get Pelini settled down. My expectations that either an apology or feigned apology is on the way in tomorrow’s press conference. Pelini will have the press in to show Martiniz practicing and all of this goes away by Tuesday.

The bigger question: Can the team hold it together for a Colorado team that has found some confidence. I hope so, being a misplaced Husker fan in Denver.

However, the drama queens need to chill and see what tomorrow brings. Ok, I will be flagged for excessive typing at this rate. GBR

by Dave68124 on Nov 21, 2010 11:16 PM CST reply actions  

I agree with pretty much everything you said

We’ll find out a little something about Bo’s coaching abilities this week. If the Colorado game isn’t scaring the crap out of everyone, it should. They’re playing lights out, and are sure to take it up a notch against us. We’re stuck with either Cody Green or a probably 70% Taylor Martinez at quarterback.

Even though we’re 9-2 and have all of our goals intact, there’s definitely a feeling that the season is on the brink. Beat CU and we’ve got a chance to make this season a success. Lose and I don’t think there’s any way we can qualify this season as anything but a disappointment.

I think you are right...

Unfortunately, I think there is a lot of frustration amongst the Corn Nation that the season is already a disappointment. At least that’s what I am picking up from all the posts and felt the same way last night after turning off the TV.

We had better be ready for CU. These guys are playing for a bowl position as well and short of Mizzu losing to KU (not going to happen) they would be more than pleased to dance at mid-field of Memorial Stadium and give us the big old “L” on the way out the door plus keeping us out of the Big XII championship.

As for Pelini, the only thing I was disappointed was the dressing down he gave to Martinez. Played for a coach like that at Southeast. Nothing wrong with giving him a piece of your mind, but slap him on the helment, tell him to do it better next time and get out there and bust his ass. All I saw was the piece of mind and not turning into a moment to motivate the young man. Coaching is motivating, not just screaming. Hell, even my drill sergeant knew how to scream, but he always turned it into a motivational message.

I don't think that Pelini is a thug, or violent...

He just has anger/presence/tact issues. Or at least doesn’t have a good sense on picking ones battles in public. Its not like anything individual Pelini has done is that big of a deal, it just the overall, for lack of a better term, body-of-work. And even then, he does need to realize that some things do not need to be out in the open at public. Most of the time, if you go ballistic, do it behind closed doors. Save you and your victim from embarrassment.

Everything you read about Saban is that he is a hard ass disciplinarian, but he doesn’t necessarily appear to blow up from the sidelines, he probably is much more closed door.

Shuckers…us corns out to stick together..you know like on tall stalk..we got alot to be thankful for..we don’t have to play Texas nomore. At least Texas is only got 8 wins against the corns 4 wins. We all know they cheated, lied, fixed games ,that is what we get for playing with those rich guys!!

At least we have fared better than Alabama. Texas is 7 wins, 1 lose and 1 tide against the Elebama. Besides our colors being similar, we both cannot find a quarterback from own states got go out to Cali or Texis and getttttt a good one. If Suh could have knocked out McCoy, the refs, the clock and BabyBe we might have finally beat those cheaters? Right Corn Brothers !!! The sad fact is if we had to find enough talent from our own state (All Corns) to field a team we could not beat Whitiicitaw State.

Now the thugs from Youngstown are running off the out of staters and seems we thank that is OKIE. They are alot more smart that us Corns..they know where there corn spread come from..just south of that ole RED RIVER…We need to wise up…after Pelini’s are fired, indicted or worse..where we gonna recruit..Cali..doubtful..Texis…doubtful..maybe we can break into Indiana or Iowa or Kansas or South Dakota…did I say South Dakota…Least they want be cheating us are consspiring agaiginst…you know everybody is always out to get my house up here in LIncoln..they are after us Corns..they want to pop us. I know it sounds corny, but they are really out to steal our corn lifestyle..makes me turn bright yellow just thinking about the grits of some folks.

 When I graduated from Nebreatska it was harrd, the mutipy choices had a and b now they got a c. Even with my degree in corns I know Osbuburp was right in getting us away from that Big 12 South. What a butt kicking we took, even at Cornball Stadium But A&M that has be hiding my face in tall corn.

Be nice to get to that Big 10 where we can dominate Ohio State, WESTCONSION, Michigannn, etc. Texas is only 2 wins against 1 loss versus Ohio State. We gots alot bbbbbettter chance recruitiing and winning in the Big 10.. We want have to play that BIG 12 SOUTH, GOTS to admit us corns not going miss gettting our butts kicked down there no more….well hope if Pelini stays we are ready to ride the tractor down the rows it will take us. I really aiint that depressed perate. If Martinez really leaves then Pelini out right lied to us corns earlier today?

by theise on Nov 23, 2010 10:00 AM CST up reply actions  

I leave all of us corns with my last words to ponder and the following facts:

Nebraska starts 2 players on defense from the State of Nebraska. (Shameful for a state of such tough Corns)

Nebraska starts 5 players on offense from the State of Nebraska.
(We corns have never been stealth, skilled athletes and our two deep roster is a vivid fact on corn prowess)

Nebraska has good kickers and holders from the State of Nebraska
(Maybe this why we are so good at point blame when the corn of the matter is best home grown talent is so good at giving the ball back. Not much corn grit in kicking, just a fact)

Nebraska cannot or has not been able to compete in the Big 12 South. (A corn needs only look at the record book. Dominated by Super teams at Cornball stadium is not necessarily a weakness. But us corns being little crops cannot deal with it. We need to accept reality and deal with it.)

Nebraska’s football program is led by a thug, corn nut, mentally challenged head coach. (Any self respecting corn knows this will probably be Pelini’s last major job..Ohio State, LSU, we are corn dreaming to think they would take this Youngstown thug, tough guy wannabe, hahaha We are stuck with him until we wake up!!)

As corns we sell ourselves short in fear the corn nation will loose our thug coaches and we blame the administration at NU.

Pitiful Nebraska, quit the big 12 because everybody was out to get us, cheat us, and when really we could not compete. Well, maybe every fourth year at best.

Summary for all of you great editors, spellers, whiners, and the rest of us corn nuts stuck in a miserable place we call Lincoln:

We do not have enough home grown talent to play Division I Football.

We must look to California, Florida, and Texas if we have a chance at competing.

We corns could not compete in the Big 12, well marginally, but the South dominates our corns.

We are quitters and whiners because everybody is ganging up on us. What a cop out.

We will stick by thugs because winning with personal losers on the field is better than dignity, respect and self worth. In other words, we corns are use to abuse and see nothing wrong with a little behind closed doors. ha ha.

If we are able to win on Friday, we will have to play a Big 12 South team in the championship game. Our history of the Big 12 in these games sucks corn seeds. Us corns must be honest corn kernels and admit that the Big 12 South are better teams, with better athletes, better coached(way understated), better everything and more objective about reality that us corn puffs.

Frankly, we suck corn balls when it comes to these games.

We corns have s history of very few positive outcomes in Big 12 sports, except maybe male body groping (wrestling). I know it is dark, cold and miserable up here in Lincoln. But male body groping really is not the answer for us corns. The pay for male corn holes after college is poor, it wears on our ears, becomes a health hazard and same sex attraction will not help us make better football players from our little one wagon corn holed state.

You corn dreamers can use subjective jokes, hand waving, blame projections, crass re-buttals, corn hope, cute cat photos and all other forms of self deception to reject the reality and truth right in front of our own corn fields, we are not a powerful force to be feared in corn ball (football), we are not powerful in the real world, corns or not significant politically in the United States and really are non events. Corns are not even a speck of corn dust. Most people in the United States barely even think corn land has any relevance at all unless they want to pop us, mash us or boil us!!

I know fellow corny’ s like myself don’t like to hear the truth and will more than likely have all kind of off the wall reactions to these corn facts. So be it. I will not be posting here again. Corn brothers unite, here we come Big 10, maybe if we don’t win many games, they start to gang up on us corns, the refs. begin cheating us corns, Pelini continues to get BoBo’d, we corns can just quit and move to the Mountain West. That assumes that the Pelini’s have not totally wrecked the program, out of state recruiting which is our life blood (water for the corn) and public perception of us real corns.

The Mountain West is just as close geographically as the Big 10 and the way we are acting, which speaks much louder than the pot smoking football gurus on this page, us corns may be there sooner than later. Good news is we want need a thug to recruit out of state so much. Corn, Corns, Corny’s and Corn Revelers Unite!! I remain.
