OmahaPlaya Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Oh man jeez why did Q have to mess up like this. Quote Link to comment
Hunter94 Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 are you kidding me? it has nothing to do with being able to fill the void, it has to do with principals and conviction. that comment is an insult to Pelini...no one person, nobody is bigger than the program or the ethics of it and Pelini..give me a break! Gotta greet you there Hunter. If Pelini was worried about void filling instead of strict discipline Kevin Dixon would still be on the team. thanks, but i am dropping out of this conversation for fear of saying something i might regret...i am disappointed by what i have read thus far............ About Pelini's decision or the fan base reaction to it? fan base reaction........ Quote Link to comment
father5 Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Last year I thought Q had way too many fumbles during the season and cringed everytime I saw him get a carry. When Helu went down and he had to play a lot against Clemson I thought all was lost. However, as we all know, he turned in an awesome performance and I, like most everyone else, was excited to see if he would be able to build on that and make big strides this year. That he is now off the team is disappointing (to say the least) but I have faith in Bo that he did the right thing. The program can't be undermined by the players, ever. It's as simple as that.

gtsum2 Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 I am sorry to see him go, but obviously Pelini thought it was the right thing to do, so who am I (or anyone else for that matter) to question the HC's judgement? I do believe it sends yet another message to the players and I believe it does shine a good light on the Huskers (ie there is a right and a wrong way to conduct yourself at UNL). Time for Rex or someone else to step up....and in all honesty, the O line needs to take control this year.....it dont matter who we have back there if the O line gets blown up. Quote Link to comment
BigRedWeatherman Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 As much as it makes me mad that Q screwed up and screwed the team, I am feeling confident that Helu will have a breakout year and was going to outshine Castille and any of the other backs this year. I had a feeling earlier this week that Helu was going to be the star of the program this year and the 1-2 punch of Helu & Q this year was going to be more like a KO from Helu. I guess my gut feeling was either the fact that Q was gonna get the boot or the fact that Roy will actually do HUGE things this year! This dismissal will not kill our team, and it will not ruin our season! How many people last year thought the D the rest of the season was gonna hurt bad when Glenn was dismissed???? I know I did. WE WILL BE OK! Quote Link to comment
macroboy Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 I hadn't been here for a couple of days. i read all the news stories before reading the thread. Makes it kind of interesting. The attacks on the original poster were amusing. I thought Q would have a big year for us but not as big as the year Helu is going to have. He really only has 2 good games... AND midway through last season many on this board were calling for him to be moved to LB bc/ he fumbles too much. The Clemson game was an exception for him, not the norm. It was the last thing we saw and what we remember. It gave us great optimism but that isn't really what his career has been. Pellini's style of not saying what happened frustrates the hell out of inner gossipy little b!+ch but it is kind of amusing all the same. I wish someone would speculate what kind of drugs he might have failed 5 tests for...allegedly. Quote Link to comment
skersfan Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Who is the Castille you are talking about. Time to move on. We have adequate backs to do the job. Trust in Bo, again he has done the right thing. He is trying to clean up the program. Getting quality character here. Again who is this person you are talking about. Out of sight out of mind. Concentrate on the positives. A freshman starting or sharing starting role is a fantastic thought Move on. Edit:sup gramps fix the dbl pst. Rawhide Quote Link to comment
T-BONE Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 Maybe they will move Marcus back to rb from wr. ? Quote Link to comment
EbylHusker Posted August 22, 2009 Share Posted August 22, 2009 I think Q had great potential, but when it's time to go, it's time to go. We've always been deep with backfield talent, at least. Good luck to you Q. Quote Link to comment

Give me a break, home-skillet. I'm proud of the swift action and the message it sends the team, but who set the bar for these "principles"? Would you say Dr. Tom? Tell me that LP would not have just been cut from the team if it weren't for his redonkulous gifts. If he had been a perpetual 2nd stringer, he would have been off campus and in a counseling program that day. Even the best coaches can be fallible when it comes to discipline and raw talent. Just saying if it was Helu, or God-forbid Suh, they might have offered a window back. (completely dependent on what "it" actually was) Quote Link to comment
