Pelini on the situation yestrday via ESPN 97.3:

"Actually, that question was very much taken out of context. I feel bad for the young man that he was portrayed that way because that's not who he is. He's not a braggart, and he's not that kind of kid. I feel terrible about how that went down (Wednesday). I don't like how that was handled."

"Cory's the kind of guy who comes here every day, works his tail off, never talks," Pelini said. "Is just a very quiet kid. I watched it go down and stepped in just a little too late, but he just kept getting prodded and prodded."

Good stuff on Duron Carter as well…

Glad to see coach step in and put in his two cents. I'm sure Tom and the post won't be getting any more interviews with the players anytime soon.

It's sad that a writer for a paper from our own county and covering our own school has to stoop to such a level

I thinke we've gotten more ink out that lil blurb then we have in a long time.

And its not all bad either. Yes some folks are ripping the kid, but others are defending him as well.

This hasnt been a bad thing at all IMHO.

People who are ripping him don't know the whole truth. When it first came out I even said they were delusional but Teambeer pointed out that the whole thing was taken out of context

The Palm Beach Post shouldn't be allowed within 500 yards of FAU athletic facilities.

Hopefully Pelini can make that happen.

I've already deleted all my PBP bookmarks. It was never worth my time and now I'll be damned if I'm going to give them page hits.

I'm sure none of that has come out on ESPN proper or in any of the Alabama media outlets.

Well, I hope all Corey said helps in one way or the other.
Use the experience, enjoy it, be creative 'cause you have nothing to lose and come back healthy.

About the attendance, forget about the other team down south. Make sure your butt is in the stands when North Texas comes here.
That game at FIU vs Louisville will have a great atmosphere, no doubt about that. I wish FAU could schedule a game like that in our own stadium.

FAU vs 'Bama on ESPN3 baby!

(Blacked out in Florida)

Why is that?

I could understand if it was in Florida, but its in Bama. 

Game is blacked out in both FL and AL.  This means I'm stuck going to hooters or winghouse, hmmmm gonna have to be Hooters!

GREAT chance though for Corey to hava an impact, back up the talk (which he was not meaning it the way it has been published) and make a name for himselt as a potential NFL draft pick.
Gotta say, what better time for the young man to shine in the spotlight. Go for it Corey, blow past and around thoise big , slow OL for Bama and get a few sacks and tackles for loss in the backfield! I am rootin for ya!
Go Cory and Go Owls!
