@FauxPelini twitter account in jeopardy following firing of Bo Pelini by Nebraska

 (Associated Press)

The firing of Nebraska coach Bo Pelini has created an uncertain future for@FauxPelini, one of the more entertaining Twitter accounts following college football. Asked whether the parody account would live on, the man behind it tweeted the AP Monday that “the short/honest answer right now is ‘not sure.’ ” @FauxPelini, which has 161,000 followers since being created in December 2010, spoofs and exaggerates the Pelini’s no-nonsense personality and is famous for its profile picture of Pelini in a sweater holding a cat. In a nod to @FauxPelini, the coach walked out of the tunnel for the 2014 spring game hoisting a cat over his head. The identity of the actual tweeter has not been revealed. He is known only as a Cornhuskers in the Chicago area. – AP
