OK, Although this isn't really relevant to the BR situation, I have to correct you . Tipping is not a "surprise bonus" for being a super-dooper exceptional server. In America certain professions are exempt from minimum wage laws because there is an expectation of some level of tipping. People would not take those jobs at those wages without that expectation. I'm not saying that you should always tip. Poor service deserves poor tipping. The whole point is to provide an incentive for exceptional service. That being said, 15% is a standard amount for tipping in America for professions in which they are allowed to pay below minimum wage. That means that if the service is good (not blow-your-mind excellent), you are obliged to give somewhere near 15%. If you routinely give less than that, you should reconsider the restaurants you frequent. You are obviously unhappy with their service. Either that or you are too cheap to be eating at sit-down restaurants. Sure, I get that. But actually you're saying the same thing I meant! I agree, if service is acceptable,good, great, you should tip accordingly. I don't see it as a bonus. However, if you're not satisfied for whatever reason, then it is perfectly acceptable to not tip! In this case, he was offended by something said out loud that shouldn't have been and therefore chose not to tip. Good on him! Now, posting it on social media, dumb.

I never really thought about that. I don't think he expected the guy to know who HE was rather than it was his way of saying "think before you speak", you never know who's listening...

Funny the differing opinions on this. IMO, doing your job does not justify a tip. No. Doing your job very well, then yes. Just because you are a waiter/waitress whatever, does not qualify you for a tip. Reward for disrespect or bad service? nope. I don't care if that's how they make their living. They chose the job, period. People don't deserve rewards for every little thing, just like kids don't. That's what has gotten society to where it's at today. Lower work ethic because of participation trophies, tips just to tip, happy feel good crap. Do the job well and you will be rewarded! Just like in sports! And trashing a team or anything like that is not something a waiter should be discussing outloud! Almost every job you have to be careful what you say and where/when. It's no different. That's disrespect. I wouldn't have tipped the guy either. Not a penny.

I'll tell you right now, Gangwish is not just an average player. He would start at a lot of D1 programs. Maybe doesn't have the sacks but has a lot of hurries and would have a lot more if db's could cover. Unfortunately, opposing qb's are able to get the ball out quick because receivers are always open. It's a team sport. D line struggles when dbs can't cover at least for a short time.

Dunno who paid him. Have to assume the U. What I do know is the program was in the green, by a long ways. As far as hockey carrying UNO money wise, not sure how that can be true if it was almost cut before outside fundraising kicked in. Must not have been carrying very well if that's the case. I think it's a safe bet wrestling would have succeeded at D1 if you simply take past athletes individual results against D1 opponents. They held up just fine.

UNO had hockey well before the move to D-1 and the cutting of wrestling. Also, you can't compare the hockey that is played in Kearney, Lincoln, and the Omaha Lancers to UNO hockey. The Lancers, Stars, and Tri-City Storm is Junior Hockey played by 17-18 year old high school kids. UNO is at the top of college hockey and has gotten great crowds in Omaha for years. UNO probably doesn't care about people outside of Omaha. They are trying to position itself at Omaha's "state school" and that's fine. UNL will always be #1 for most Nebraskans, but getting a decent crop of students from the Omaha metro area and being a school of 15K students is great for UNO. Finally, I never wrestled and I never played hockey. But, if I had my choice of going to a college hockey game or a college wrestling meet on a Friday night, I would choose hockey. I think the average person would agree with me. True, I shouldn't have said start hockey but should have said build hockey. What's the difference though of 17-18 year old kids and college hockey? Not much! My point is, there really was no good reason to cut a self sustaining National Champion program!

Some of the misinformation or plain lack of knowledge is disturbing. 1. It's public knowledge Alberts let them know over the phone they were cut. It was in the newspaper and reported as fact. Locked them out of the building and couldn't even get in to get their stuff, after just winning a National Title. - That alone is true lack of class 2. Why are so many of you still using the financial excuse? Wrestling was self sustained and in fact, ahead on money! And moving to D1 would not have changed that at all. They would still host the same tournaments and same clinics that brought in the money. Little known fact they hosted many huge youth tournaments that brought in big bucks, so money is a piss poor, made up excuse. They made their own money and a surplus of it. 3. They would have competed just fine at D1 level. They already competed in many D1 tournaments as it was and many of their wrestlers beat highly ranked D1 guys on a regular basis. UNO got a lot of guys over the years that were sought after D1 recruits. All in all, football got cut so it wouldn't compete with big brother UNL. Wrestling got cut as an excuse to start hockey. Title IX, money, or any other excuse is just that, an excuse. As far as UNO hockey being the only hockey in the state, that's bs too. They have it in Kearney. Although it's not college. Trev has no character and certainly no class. And quite honestly, nobody outside of Omaha cares about UNO hockey to my knowledge. In fact, I had no idea it almost got cut until a booster came in. Maybe it's not the gravy train it was supposed to be? That would have been funny. I'll assure you there were many outside Omaha that followed and loved UNO wrestling and football. And if the move was for UNO basketball to go D1, why? They're not good, and heck, UNL is not good at basketball either! Wanna save some money? Cut those programs!

Stfu, joke coach (langsdorf) Not joke players. Coach puts them in bad position

Langsdorf needs to catch the first train out of town. I'm sick of watching him continually put players in a position to fail. It's on him and him only.

Don't be a dick. We needed a lot of help from Miami. They fell apart and we took advantage. Props to the team for not giving up. Don't be a dick. The players have kept playing and earned this chance.

NU wrestling finished 9th in the country. Of the top 10 teams, 5 of them were Big10 schools including Nebraska. 2 other Big10 schools finished just outside the top 10. I'd say coach Manning is doing a heck of a job in a conference that dominates NCAA wrestling. Not just a one year deal either, he's kept them in the hunt for quite a while.

I remember the thread because I think I got involved in it and agreed with you because I had some inside info. that that was the real reason he was missing playing time and the injury(ies) were cover up. I took a bunch of heat too was told if I couldn't state my sources it didn't happen.

No, I think you're wrong. In todays sports, MANY things get hidden for a long time until they are exposed. He would have been exposed here if his boss and him weren't fired and in fact those were some of the facts and reasons they were fired, which you will never know. How long were kids locked in closets and those sorts of things at TT? Penn. State? Are you sure you still think things aren't kept under wraps? If they hide more serious things, it'd be pretty easy to keep anger issues and physical altercations hidden. Are you kidding, you really think things are kept hush hush in college football? And anger control issues do directly correlate to spousal abuse. If he has no problem getting physical with 240-260 lb. defensive ends he sure won't have a problem with his wife. No, the players weren't cowering and afraid of him, but there were times he was lucky that players stepped in and kept other players from ending his tirades.

I call bullsh#t On what? And on second thought, don't care what you think. Gee, want me to give my sources or post a link? F off

I remember posting that the guy is an a hole and that he would physically attack guys in practice on the sideline during games. A few didn't believe me. Haha, I know at least a few people, including players that are feeling a sense of relief that this guy finally got caught.
