Minor league team to have Bo Pelini bobblehead night
Better get to the Mahoning Valley Scrappers game early on Saturday if you want a Bo Pelini bobblehead.
The Ohio team is giving away a bobblehead likeness of the former Nebraska and current Youngstown State coach to the first 1,000 fans. Here’s what it looks like, courtesy of the team’s Twitter account.
We’re a bit disappointed in how calm the bobblehead looks. Granted, it happened at Nebraska, but how funny would it have been to see the bobblehead recreate this picture from Pelini’s time with the Huskers?
Nebraska fired Pelini towards the end of the 2014 season and he was hired at his alma mater for the 2015 season. Youngstown State went 5-6 in Pelini’s first season.

He’s not the only celebrity getting the bobblehead treatment at Scrappers games this season either (the team is a Class-A affiliate of the Cleveland Indians). The Scrappers are also doing a bobblehead of the Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl. His bobblehead will be given away on July 22.
