Bo Lays Down the law

[tattooedhusker]

Rule #4: Don't reach up a girl's skirt (unless she asks you to).

and not without proper identification!

I think they will still drink, but they better be very selective about who they drink around and under what circumstances. If LPD is called to a house party, they better know that they will be in trouble...so keep the party quiet and small if they are going to do it.

You are not going to effectively ban all drinking with people this age (notice, I did NOT say kids, because they are adults by law). They need to know what is being risked, and ask themselves if it is worth the risk to do what they are doing. I know I wouldn't want to throw my free education down the drain.

Not even that though, small and quiet doesn't matter.

3 rules for partying in Lincoln

Rule 1. Don't host a party at your residence(If you do then you want small and quiet)

Rule 2. If LPD is called to a house party, when they ask you to leave, you put down your alchohol and you leave.

Rule 3. Don't speed off.

Using those 3 rules it is virtually impossible to get into trouble at a party in Lincoln. I'd estimate cops were called to 15-25 parties that I was at while I was there, not once did the cops not ask everyone to leave, you leave and you don't get into trouble, that simple.

Exactly.

I had a friend that hid in the shower of a house we were at because he thought he'd get MIP'd if he came outside. The people that lived in that house let the cops inside because they thought everyone had left and the cops ended up finding him in the shower. So he ended up getting a MIP.

And don't be an idiot when you're walking out. Keep your mouth shut and just walk.

Likely just watch what you do. No way a program of 100+ players can all be monitored at one time, making sure they do not take a sip of alcohol.

that being said, not *ALL* of those 100+ players are going to drink. and if they do, not all of them are going to going all 'lawrence phillips-esque' rampage.

some need more help than others. hopefully, word will get back to the coaches about who needs help with what.

He does not have to ban alcohol, but I think he needs to make them understand that they have choices to make and their choices will determine their futures as a Husker.

 

[Touchdown Tommie]

It is nice to see Bo come out with this....saying it is a zero tolerance policy can come back to get you, but I am sure he has all of his bases covered. I am sure that there may be some unwritten rules in this as well....Like, don't be a complete jacka$$ if you do decide to go out and drink in the public.

Any word or rumor on who the player is that was dismissed from the team?

Players need to learn to SAVE THIS sh#t FOR THE NFL!!!

It's OK to have a criminal record after you leave college. If you're a pro you can do anything you want!

:bang used to be that the NFL wouldn't even look at you if you were a trouble maker, now days it seems like all the teams are the way Oakland used to be looked upon as - places where they want to enhance their reputation as bad boys. Probably why kids think they can get away with anything, and if they get caught it just gives them press.

It's all about perception and marketing now today. However with the new regime heading up the NFL, they have taken a harder stance on getting rid of these players. I remember the days when you could look up to and emulate players from the NFL and NBA. Not so much anymore. Charles Barkley was right when he said; "I'm not your role model."

I am still not sold on the fact that they are going to take that tough stance. I think everyone is just keeping their heads low for a while. Let's see how they react when someone comes out and does something relatively serious like get caught in possession of a gun going down the road, or having their "Posse" beat the crap out of someone. Too many NFL players are getting too close to gangs.

Maybe I'm odd but I can't say I have ever really looked up to an athlete. There are far more deserving people in my life, when I was young and today.

I used to look up to baseball players...of all people... <_< . Not so much as role models, but as athletes. I grew up in the era when the Royals were good. I used to like Vida Blue with the Oakland Athletics, too. I was a catcher, so it was a lot of fun to see what he could do with a ball. George Brett was the man, though...even though now, as an adult, I am betting he did his share of partying. I imagine the KCMO police department did their share of looking the other way with them, since they were as good as they were at the time...I mean, they were the only thing we had to look towards out here in the midwest...until football season, the Chiefs were decent back then too...boy things have sure changed. Now we don't have any pro teams worth a crap in the midwest really. That sucks.

Growing up in Nebraska, you did look to the Huskers...this was the era of Jerry Tagge and Devaney. Those were the days. When Johnny Rogers got into trouble after his senior season, I remember how shocked everyone was...you just didn't have things like that go on with players back then. The Age of Innocence, I guess. :box Those were the days...the days of Glory!!

So your telling me you never / hadn't ever looked up to a guy like Brook Berringer or even from an older / coaching stand point - Ron Brown?

Yes, that's exactly it.

OK :lol:

The neat thing about Brook was that he was just a regular guy. He didn't really fit the mold of super hero, yet he did great things. I don't think anyone would have predicted he would do what he did. He had heart. It was like he was the guy next door. His attitude was great.
