 (AP) - Nebraska coach Bo Pelini goes on a profanity-laced tirade against fans and two newspaper writers in 2011 audio that surfaced on the sports website Deadspin.

The audio posted Monday catches Pelini speaking with Husker Sports Network play-by-play man Greg Sharpe before his postgame radio interview following Nebraska's win over Ohio State in October 2011. The conversation was off air.

Pelini had been criticized by fans and media in the days leading to the Ohio State game for the Huskers' performance the week before in a 31-point loss at Wisconsin.

In the audio, Pelini repeatedly uses an expletive to refer to what he calls "fair-weather" fans.

Monday night Pelini accepted responsibility for the tirade and apologized for anyone he may have offended.
