Well, not a black eye on our program for very long, or as perceived by very many people out there, except perhaps for Buffs and Mizzou fans who sported "get out of jail free" card posters at their home games against us for a few seasons. I mean, Lawrence Philips was the peak of all that, I think.. not sure but it seems that way. Dr. Tom didn't go all wordy on explaining himself because he didn't have to; we know him, and the media was what the media is so it was out there, even with a TV special about that particular case.
I think we Husker fans felt the black eye more than anyone else.
