    Didn't the old bcs rankings come out in week 4 or 5 ?.   I agree with you 100%,  they should really wait to release ANY poll until week 4.   

    Something like that

    Thank you for being so forward. We all have made some bad choices in life. Those bad choices may have resulted in formal or informal discipline, but they don’t define who we are as a person. They may be part of our story, our evolution/growth, but they do not define us. @I am I, I can tell you’re a good person from the simple fact that you felt shame from the couple actions you took that were mistakes and you’re willing to take ownership of them. I’m sure Maurice feels shame from his mistake too. The coaching staff and the administration both see that side of Maurice. It’s a side we’ll never see unless we have the opportunity to meet him. We don’t get to see the fact that he’s a good son, a good nephew, a good neighbor, or a teammate. One day he will probably be a good dad, a good spouse, a good patriarch of his family who helps his grand children work through their own mistakes and take ownership of them to resolve them... the same way we all will.

     

    That being said, repeated behaviors that go unaddressed due to a lack of remorse or conscience... that will define you. Maurice is far from that pattern of behavior. Has he done some selfish things? Yes. Did all of those things cause emotional distress for someone else and he continued to overlook and commit those types of mistakes? No. @huskerfan22, you’re not Maurice’s judge and jury now, and you’re sure as hell not the all seeing eye of his life. You can predict his behavior and prejudge him all you want, but you don’t get to define him, or anyone else for that matter. He does not have a pattern of behavior that indicates he is a sociopath. On the other hand, I hope you realize that your prejudgement can cause emotional distress for others as well when it is made public. Hopefully prejudgement isn’t a pattern of behavior for you and those in your life. If it has. been, I hope you feel some remorse from that pattern. If not, that would be unfortunate, and borderline sociopathic. I’ll let you be your own judge.

    Aye aye, Captain!

    I'm a well-respected member of my community. A community leader in many respects.

     

    From age 15 through about age 19 I did multiple ignorant, criminal acts. For which I was prosecuted, and paid penalties under the law.

     

    I deserved those penalties. I probably wasn't subjected to the full penalties I should have been, to be honest.

     

    But... here I am. Today, a pretty decent man. Flawed, but still very well-respected in my community. A leader. A person others look up to.

     

    I feel like if I were to be judged for the crimes I committed when I was a teenager, I'd still be in prison to please some people.

     

    Thank goodness that's not a reality.

     

    I mean... congratulations to those of you who have never been stupid in your life. Good on you for that. But for those of us imperfect people... maybe figure out some empathy, huh?

    You sure think highly of yourself

    Yes, getting caught does mean possibly getting punished.  But, your actions, regardless of being caught or not, is what makes you the person you are.

    And it appears that Mo is a dumb a$$. And i expect more dumb things from him in the future.

     

    I'm out of this thread

    No, you want to hold these players to a higher standard.

     

    I understand that they represent the University when they are student-athletes, however, I also understand that they are not so different than when I was a college student.  I was on scholarship at UNL, but that didn't stop me from doing dumb stuff like smoking weed, drinking too much, skipping some classes, and trying to get laid.  It's worse now since everyone has a phone with a camera and wants to take pictures and videos of these players, without even asking the kid.  It's no wonder why Washington spends his summers holed up in his dorm room, smoking some weed.

    Were you caught doing these dumb things?

    Did you read my post? It doesn't seem like it. Here it is again:

     

    Frost might feel exactly the same way about what Washington did, but what Washington did was not on social media.

    You said it wasn't on social media so that meant to me that you don't care what he presumably did.

    I think most get your point and I doubt this will change your opinion, but I believe “recruit you” is different than being on campus and a member of the team.

     

    The university has decided to support the player, not just Frost, and I also believe there is much more information we are not privy too that would give the university pause reason to let this play out in court first. 

    To me, you are always recruiting. Even when on campus so each their own.
