cmb23 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Pretty sure that any/all major & successful programs have their share of injuries, incidents and thugs. My question is why so many people put Nebraska on an island of college football that they don't think can exist anywhere else in the country. Texas loses starting lineman for racist comments posted online Oklahoma loses starting QB for selling cars Florida State has players suspended for taking shoes/clothes So to answer your question...yes, it happens everywhere.

skerfan1705 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Colorado seems to have had some injury problems....not to mention one of their players mugging an old woman...oh and robbing their OWN FREAKING LOCKER ROOM?!?!?!?! Quote Link to comment

What? You didn't hear about Bomar last year? He and another projected starter were collecting big paychecks from a local car dealer for working minimal hours. It happens everywhere. It really, truly does. It doesn't sound like you are too in touch with what's going on at other schools. Quote Link to comment
HSKRNOKC Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 That was a generalization.. He was caught for getting paid and not showing up to work.... EVER.... Quote Link to comment

BIGREDFAN_in_OMAHA Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Follow the ESPN college football page during the off season and almost every time a player at a major program gets arrested it becomes a headline there. Quote Link to comment
Igetbored216 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Ahhh, no, I don't remember hearing about that. However, I am well aware that every school has its share of difficulties (i.e., players in trouble with law, school problems, injuries, etc.). It happens... Quote Link to comment

If it doesn't happen in the state of Nebraska, happen to a Nebraska player, or does not directly affect NU in some way shape or form....I'd venture to say that a good portion of the people that consider themselves 'college football fans' in the state of Nebraska are clueless when it doesn't involve anything red.

papersun87 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Just curious if anyone has seen any other teams suffer such problems as injuries and law problems as we at NU has. Besides IOWA of course. I think Colorado currently has their entire roster listed as injured reserve. The popcorn and hot dog guys are playing now. Quote Link to comment
TXHSKR Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Just curious if anyone has seen any other teams suffer such problems as injuries and law problems as we at NU has. Besides IOWA of course. I think Colorado currently has their entire roster listed as injured reserve. The popcorn and hot dog guys are playing now. Colorado has lost players to injury in practice. Not to mention maybe a stray battery or a P*ss bomb from the stands too. They are building an excuse for their upcoming loss!! Quote Link to comment
tattooedhusker Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Like cmb stated, It happens everywhere and most husker fans don't know about it, frankly because, they don't care. Quote Link to comment
billdozer15 Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Just curious if anyone has seen any other teams suffer such problems as injuries and law problems as we at NU has. Besides IOWA of course. Florida State last year had to suspend like 21 guys for the bowl game due to cheating in the classroom. Joepa had a bunch of problems at Penn State last year as well, he made the whole team help clean the stadium after a home game because of a few guys getting arrested, i also believe one was sexual in nature. It happens everywhere, and for the most part it is worse at other schools. Quote Link to comment
Cy the Cyclone Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 ...and then, there are some teams (who shall go *******) that simply suck without the benefit of criminal activity or injuries.... Quote Link to comment
