Players visit to hospital

[Blackshirtsguru]

Here is a good one from last month. I believe I saw Pillen08 in there.link

Also,

I remember earlier this year a video of Pelini and a number of players visiting St. Elizabeth in Lincoln. I thought it was from the Journal Star. I remember Helu being a bit of a clown, it was quite entertaining. I can't find it though.

Yep there's Huskerboards very own Pillen08!!!!!!!!! :horns2

Stupid article. Who cares if the starting lineup showed, I guarantee those kids loved every second of it. When I was very young, I spent a Christmas in the hospital. I had a firefighter show up and gave me a couple Transformers...it was the best ever. Way for the writer to piss on players period who go or "don't go" to a hospital to do something like that...

Well said sir! :thumbs

I agree, I remember being in elementary school and the football players from the local high school would come visit once a year, it was the coolest thing ever, and those were just high school guys, maybe 2 of whom ended up on D1 rosters

I don’t think this has been brought up but I found it interesting.

Yesterday on the “Big Show” with Matt and Fat Trav, Travis said that he and his crew went to the Children’s Hospita where the teams we visiting patients which is typical bowl game stuff. That being said Clemson brought Swinney and the whole starting line-up while NU brought a GA, Wesch, Adi, Henery and 3 guys Trav and his producer had never heard of. They brought up the point that the Pelini’s get a pass because of what has been going on in their lives as of late, but they thought at the least Watson or Sanders could have gone as well as some of the higher profile players. While I agree with what Travis is saying I’m kind of torn on the situation. I know the players do plenty of work in Lincoln as far as the community is concerned however these trips are part of the whole Bowl thing so they could have done a little better then they did. These may be a non-issue to some and would have been to the “Big Show” as well if Clemson hadn’t brought who they did

travis justice does a real good job with interviews

And he's an arrogant hack and a tool.

This is a non issue IMO. Travis brought it up because apparently there is nothing else to talk about.

With all of the bowls and the firings in the NFL........you're right - there's nothing to talk about. <_<

:sarcasm

The guy is an arrogant hack and a tool.

I'm confused. Is this a non-UNL fan working for a Lincoln radio station, or is he a Big Red fan who just likes to cause controversy, or whats the deal?

I think you hit he nail on the head with this one!

They are both non Husker fans. Matt is from the East Coast and made a stop in SEC country while Fat Trav is an Iowa boy who tries hard to be controversial and as far from a “homer” as he can be. The wonderful thing is he has a stinking TV show as well.

As much as they both like to bag on NU they are not afraid to wave their Creighton flags high and pledge their allegiance to it.

Maybe the players that Bo took were more compassionate towards the cause...I mean, it's not all about taking the stars all the time..

 

[mmmtodd]

guys, guys, guys....its obvious that Bo knew wesch, adi, and henery could take care of Clemson's starting line-up by themselves if things got out of hand.

and travis justice+(tv camera x microphone) = nausea

Nobody would listen if these guys didn't create controversy out of nothing. This bowl game has produced no story lines that cause people to call in to their show. Even the boards have been a little slow.

You can bet that they have entire planning meetings devoted to finding stupid issues to get people pissed off. They have to find something to talk about for 4+ hours every day. So they create problems where there are none. (Kind of like the mafia - create a problem, solve a problem) That is why Matt and Trav and every other radio host have such obviously manufactured and illogical opinions on some topics. If you can understand and accept that fact, they are much easier to listen to . . . barely.
