Bowfin Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 And his twitter account clearly showed his employer's name and his job info. How does any adult think that's OK??? I think it is okay. They are consenting adults, let them be Twit-holics and tweet each other and enjoy the benefits it brings to their lives...or stop, either way, their choice. Both the banker and Lewis agreed to a technology to enter their lives that facilitates this kind of nonsense. If Lewis isn't okay with it, he shouldn't have signed up to read whatever any random person had to say about him. Quote Link to comment

Cuz huskerwilly closed his twitter account, and he also closed down his facebook page. And I wouldn't be surprised if his employer suggested it. Quote Link to comment
Red Five Posted September 21, 2015 Author Share Posted September 21, 2015 I've never been impressed with the sympathetic child angle. He's a 21-year-old adult man who is plenty old enough to know better, and plenty old enough for his actions to have consequences. Lewis is 23 years old. He has spent 45 days in jail. Maybe its me, but I don't think he deserves the "he's just a kid" label. An 18 year old true freshman? Yeah, he can use that excuse. But not Lewis. Quote Link to comment
Red Five Posted September 21, 2015 Author Share Posted September 21, 2015 What does that say about the 30-40-50 year olds that tweet at college kids? That they are giant douche nozzles. But that doesn't excuse Lewis (or any other player) for a) responding to them or b) lumping in the entire fan base with those douche nozzles. Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 He made a poor choice, I'm disappointed in him on several levels for several of those poor choices. Does it surprise me? No, it doesn't and it shouldn't surprise anyone else. Does he care that I'm disappointed in him? No, he's not and that's obvious through his post. I stand by what I said directly after the Miami thing. He should've ran wind sprints out there on that field until he puked whether that penalty cost us the game or not. It was a stupid penalty 1 minute into the game or in OT. It wasn't the reason we lost the game though and I think most of us realize that. 3 Quote Link to comment
BaytownHusker Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Why are people blaming him for the game again? Oh yea he threw 2 int's to wide open Canes. He took a 15 yard sack trying to do IDK what he tried to do. All his hit did was move the Canes a little closer to a field goal they were going to make anyway. Quote Link to comment

And blaming TA for losing the game is equally as dumb. Without him we aren't even in OT with Miami, he WAS the reason we were there. How may drops did our receivers have again? How many penalties did our O-line have again? How many penalties did our offense itself have again? How many times did our defensive secondary allow Kaaya to pick us apart again? The TEAM lost, not just one individual, but this thread is about one individual and his poor choices. Quote Link to comment

I blame Riley and his D coordinator for the fact they stared Davie to play against receiver way better then S. Bama had to offer. T.A. played about as good as a Qb can play for the most part. Couple bad throws hurt but it is what it is. We will get better and be in the B1G championship game. Quote Link to comment
StPaulHusker Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 He should have been left alone on social media after the game. And he should be left alone now. Quote Link to comment
Cougar74 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 A. Lewis made a judgment error it happens. But he stood up for himself which is okay. He should have left the Nebraska fans things alone giving his situation. this idiot tweet from a guy that does not represent the entire fan base was classless. Blaming players or saying they suck at football is messed up. Rennet these at d1 level players and not playing in a league composed of filled with high schools , semi- pros, and seven on seven part-time guys. The Huskers are the real deal and those that are fortunate to play at that level. Quote Link to comment

zoogs Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Riley had a great discussion in the presser, if you had a chance to listen. Talked about how there are consequences for not representing the team the right way. Said Alex knew it was a mistake and explained what he conveyed to him: 'First of all, you don't need to do that.You don't need to define yourself by social media. And second, you don't generalize about a group of people that way.' (paraphrasing) Leadership from the HC at NU. 1 Quote Link to comment
