Students, faculty, and fans of the University of Nebraska-Lincoln are trying to make sense of what could be the biggest surprise in the history of this state. Last night, senior pre-criminology student Daphne Blake and her dog uncovered a sinister plot being perpetrated by none other than former Husker football coach Bo Pelini. UNL’s new football coach, Scott Frost, was really Bo Pelini in a fairly convincing mask.

“It was the gum chomping that really got me thinking. I knew I’d only ever seen a mouth move that angrily once before,” said Blake to a room full of reporters. Blake went on to describe the series of events that led to her discovery.

After seeing the angry chomping on TV, Blake wanted to set up a meeting with “Scott Frost.” Upon reaching his office, the clues just kept stacking up. What first caught her eye was the abundance of Youngstown State Penguins memorabilia. “All the penguins seemed strange but, at this point, I still thought the man was Scott Frost. I mean, his last name is Frost, I just assumed he had a weird thing for animals from cold environments. It was the next occurrence that really confirmed something suspicious was going on.”

Blake reported that she asked “Frost” what he was most excited for in the coming season. His response sounded familiar. He responded with, “I’d like to develop an ‘us vs. them’ mentality where I can blame my shitty behavior on the fans.” The nail in the coffin came when Blake’s dog found Carl Pelini hiding under the desk.

“At that point, I reached for his face and pulled off an incredibly sweaty rubber mask,” said Blake. She had just revealed this man posing to be Scott Frost was, in fact, Bo Pelini coming back for round two. It was at this point that both Pelini brothers combined into a sort of Megazord character and Blake had to run for her life. Chancellor Green had only one thing to say on the situation: “well, shit.”
