With Bo Pelini Out As Head Coach Of Nebraska, What's Next For @FauxPelini, One Of The Best Parody Twitter Accounts in College Football?

The creator of the insanely popular Twitter feed, @FauxPelini, which has 162,000 followers, says he isn't sure what he's going to do now that Bo Pelini is out as Nebraska's head coach.

After seven seasons as the head football coach at the University of Nebraska, 67 wins and dozens of headline-grabbing comments and controversies, there is only one true consensus among college football fans about Bo Pelini: his fake Twitter account was awesome.

Freaking awesome.

Doug McDermott starting AGAIN, must be nice to have your dad as the coach — Fake Bo Pelini (@FauxPelini) March 24, 2014

Probably the best in the business.

For years, the account @FauxPelini entertained fans with hilarious game commentary in the form of its over-the-top blowhard persona. As of Tuesday, the account had 162,000 followers. But after the real Pelini was fired Sunday — becoming the winningest coach to ever be fired after seven seasons — just as many questions swirled about who would replace him as did about the fate of the fan favorite account.

Would @FauxPelini go with Bo? The account's creator isn't sure yet, according to Omaha.com. "It's so surreal that 'sad' isn't exactly the right word," the creator, who Omaha.com referred to only as "Michael," told the website.

Michael wouldn't say whether the account would follow Pelini to his next job (which he will probably get very soon), die with his departure, or stay alive in some fringe middle ground. He hasn't made up his mind; he's still in mourning.

There are a lot of fond memories to look back on. There was that time the Real Bo tweeted at Faux Bo, asking for his fictional cat back. There was that time when audio leaked of Real Bo berating the Cornhusker faithful in a profanity-fueled tirade. Then there was the time Real Bo got fired, just days ago, when a sunny day suddenly turned dark and @FauxBo responded in ways only @FauxBo knows how — without grace or class but with loads of laughs.

.@NCAA Did you guys suspend Manziel from the first half of the NFL draft too
