Landlord Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 I don't really think this is a big issue, but I thought it was really funny when people started responding to Tommy's tweets thinking he was at the game. "Pay attention to the game please!" "How r u on twitter aren't you in the sidelines?" Quote Link to comment
NoKoolAidForME Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 they cleared it up on 1620. He woulda counted towards the 70 limit, unless they get a waiver. they chose not to pursue the waiver. They needed all 70 in uniform. Do with it what you will. Ever since it was announced that he didn't make the trip, I thought it was weird that he wouldn't travel with the team as well. Considering Riley confirmed last week that he does not sub the Oline for continuity, I don't see how Tommy couldn't get one of the 70 spots to be with the team. Quote Link to comment
lo country Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 TA should have traveled. He's a gamer, a leader. He's the only experienced QB on the roster. Thats on Riley and his "experience". Clown. Quote Link to comment
Blackshirts007 Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 How many of those 70 played? Quote Link to comment
HuskerNBigD Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Help him how? It's not like tommy was going to hold his hand and tell him not to throw 4 ints. Laughable that this sh#t gets brought back on tommy. You've got to be effing kidding me. How is it brought back on Tommy? LOL It's a slight on the coach. Good lord, some people are just special, you know? My mistake read the original post as a dig at Tommy. Quote Link to comment
RedRex Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Still not sure why TA couldn't play. Was the injured toe on his back foot and hampered his throwing motion? Surely it couldn't have been based on his ability to run, because we don't have him do that much anymore. Quote Link to comment
Count 'Bility Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 they cleared it up on 1620. He woulda counted towards the 70 limit, unless they get a waiver. they chose not to pursue the waiver. They needed all 70 in uniform. Do with it what you will.Count, pretty sure only underclassmen count to the 70 in this conference. Injured seniors do not. Its a stupid rule. And I agree he should have been there regardless. Well I found it very interesting at 630 am when Davision said it. But I wanted to know the rule and such first. Quote Link to comment

Surely it couldn't have been based on his ability to run, because we don't have him do that much anymore. Turf toe is a weird injury. Hypothetically, you can always play through it, because it doesn't physically disable your body, it's purely a pain management scenario, but it can wreck even the best and toughest athletes. Imagine trying to do anything on a football field where your toe literally feels on fire every time you take a step or shift your weight. Quote Link to comment
C N Red Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 Heard hes looking to transfer to get out of this shitshow of a program. Quote Link to comment

I'm probably being a bit harsh on TA but it frustrates me that MR refuses to embrace the things TA excels at...it's the fricking wasted potential that I do have sympathy for TA over. Aside from that, I'm not sure I buy Riley's statement over why he sat home. This is the first game Tommy sat for and I just don't see him letting a painful toe stop the kid. Quote Link to comment
NebraskaShellback Posted October 31, 2015 Share Posted October 31, 2015 (edited) Big Ten went with the rule of 70 players only to travel as a team, even Matt Davison was confused why the conference went to this rule. I do remember Bo had to call the headquarters to get permission to have injured players to travel with the squad. May be now they do not consider that anymore.

funhusker Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 Heard hes looking to transfer to get out of this shitshow of a program. Really hard to sift through "tongue-in-cheek" and "thoughtless" comments here anymore... Hopefully this was the former. Quote Link to comment
