Kenny's earned some of the approbation he receives on twitter, but this probably wasn't worth bringing out the pitchforks over. If literally ANY other player tweets that out, there's no backlash.Today i found out anybody that trained in the weight room in the past 10 years has been removed from the walls. @Huskers no love for alum???
That hurts. Was told that because "we didnt train right" our records in the weight room at our Alma Mater are removed? Ouch.
Forgettin the old regime I understand, let's move forward. But guys that gave 5 years to the program? @Ameerguapo deserves to b in that room
I am not complaining, and i am not angry. I am genuinely saddened. I love that program and the guys that are apart of it. Disappointed.
This has NOTHING to do with the football staff. That kind of decision comes from the 3rd floor, the Administration level.
Not interested in arguing and name calling guys. I wanted to let ppl know wat was going on & respectfully voice my opinion on it, thats all.
Appreciate the clarity Mr. Epley, just wanted an explanation.
Respect and appreciate the conversation today's ladies & gentlemen. We don't have to agree, but we can be civil in expressing Opinions
I wouldn't call any of that throwing shade.

That's okay.
There's nothing that says Kenny Bell has to be liked by everyone.
I mean, Led Zeppelin didn't write tunes that everyone liked, they left that to the Bee Gees.

Well dang, guys. We lost our title of "greatest fans" over this controversy.

He suggested that the NU Athletic Dept. no longer had love for the alums, and that in an attempt to forget Bo's era they decided the players who have their all in those years didn't train right. And he appeared to decide this needed a public spotlight -- whether or not he meant to.
I mean, it seem like former Husker players (including Ameer) are quick to suspect that the AD doesn't appreciate them any more. I don't find that surprising, but a little
We have a context here where we care about how alums are treated and how they feel about NU, and vice versa. SP was not long ago, and alienated a lot of former players. I'm sure KB didn't exactly mean to, but he fanned the flames that all of that was starting to go down all over again ... and maybe that's something to keep in mind the next time he chooses to go Twitter "Ouch. Disappointed" over a private "Hey Coach Williams, what's up with these records not being on the TV displays". Shrug.

Many times my decisions are crappy when I go by how I feel. But when I take a moment to use my intellect and think things through, I tend to make better decisions.
Some posters are just responding on how KB handled a situation by the point I just made about my own self. I agree with those that think he overreacted through a social media outlet, and could have been more patient & mature about it. In this case, his feelings took over and the rest is history.

Just to make it clear, I'm not suggesting we get the pitchforks out over on KB. And it's great that he & Epley got to sort this out in a productive way, and everyone should be happy with the outcome there.
But his tweets did touch off a bit of a firestorm and it did lead folks to jump aboard the "look at this unbelievable thing the NU AD is doing" train, and that merits a bit of head-shaking, I think.

I wish people would get over that sign/phrase.
"Greatest" does not exclusively imply "niceist/sweetist/politeist/smartest"
I always took it as the stadium/program is saying, "you fans have shown a lot of passion/dedication over the years. You guys have been great. Thank you fans"

Oh I agree. I don't think it was malicious, I just think it wan't fully thought out. People jumping on the AD or KB in this are taking it too far.

Even sillier is the vast number of reasons we've lost the title of "greatest fans" over the years. Whether it's getting mad online at Kenny Bell, leaving the game early, Pat Forde getting butthurt about Red Out Around The World, once when we booed after a crappy first-half performance, being unhappy that we lost seven games last year...
These signs are cited over and over and over whenever someone gets a case of the feelings and wants to pass those feelings on to Husker fans. It's kinda funny after a while.
