Perspective from a current player's father.

oh god. these are 200-300lb MEN, not little kids. Grow the "F" up. Poor kids get a $200k education and treated like gods in Lincoln. Its SOOOOO rough. Its no wonder our team lacks any sort toughness with excuses like this. This is big boy football, if you cant handle it, go play tennis.

Youre in the wrong thread. I have no doubts.

They sacrifice their very well being to play for us and you could care less. These fine young men deserve more respect than you seem to think. Seriously just shame on you.

 

They don't play for us. They play for their own enjoyment and the hope of getting paid at the next level.

Very well-written piece. Great, unique perspective.

We enjoy watching Nebraska Football. They play for Nebraska. Therefore they play for us.

A 4-year NU education is nowhere near $200K.

Out-of-state and room&board would be close to that number

soooooo.....we became accredited and with that price became an ivey league school at the same time? Id say the move to the B1G has been very good to us...

Great read. Can't even imagine what that is like for the parents. GBR!!!

This is true. They are afforded a very special opportunity because of the devoted following Nebraska football has. It's a double-edged sword. There are plenty of other walks in life. Being in the spotlight is never easy, and while crazy fan behavior shouldn't be excused, some coaches instill a better ability to handle this productively than others.

Sick and tired of this douche attacking these young men. Suspend me, I don't care. But this has gone too far. I hope you and your apparent little man syndrome feel good about yourself now as you sit behind your computer and laugh. Big man attacking these young MEN who sacrifice so much so you can probably sit on your couch and fap to Husker football. Your attitude is bullsh#t and you clearly have no idea how big of a hypocrite you are attacking their character. I'd like to see you walk-in to this team's locker-room after a loss and spew this same sh#t to these MEN who gave their all only to fall short and have douchebags like you come after them, knowing they can't tell you off in return. I really hope you feel great about yourself. Merry Christmas.

The players who chose to come here deserve our respect. They put their well being on the line to play the game and those who chose to play for Nebraska, for us, deserve to be respected.
