Bo Pelini's popular faux Twitter account (@FauxPelini) took to social media today in honor of Valentine's Day. The much-talked-about Twitter account kicked off the day with an apologetic tweet to Husker fans.

To Husker fans:
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Sorry for that bad language
Next time I'll say "screw."— Faux Pelini (@FauxPelini) February 14, 2014
The @Huskers Twitter account responded shortly after, tweeting this humorous message to @FauxPelini.
@FauxPelini: #Huskers are red,
no one likes blue,
You're not our real coach,
but we wanted to make sure you knew. pic.twitter.com/jH2oUvTCwE— Nebraska Huskers (@Huskers) February 14, 2014
@FauxPelini responded with this poem to Nebraska head coach Bo Pelini, referencing the cat in the account's Twitter photo.
To Bo Pelini:
Roses are red
Violets are blue
The cat's litterbox is full
And I'm leaving this job for you.@BoPelini— Faux Pelini (@FauxPelini) February 14, 2014
It was just over a week ago when Pelini joked with BTN's Mike Hall that the cat was influential in landing this year's recruiting class during last week's "Signing Day Special."
Here's what Pelini said: "I tell you, my cat was with me every step of the way. I don't go anywhere without him. Without him, I wouldn't be where I am today."
This. Is. Awesome! Bo Pelini says "my cat (@FauxPelini) was w/ me every step of the way" during recruiting. WATCH – http://t.co/DijnWXIK6z

@FauxPelini also added a heart-warming tweet to Nebraska super-fan Jack Hoffman.
To Jack Hoffman:
Roses are red
Violets are blue
It's nice that you're grateful
But really we should be thanking you.@TeamJack— Faux Pelini (@FauxPelini) February 14, 2014
Nothing like ringing in Valentine's Day with everyone's favorite faux Twitter account!
