Fwd: Re: [Husker] Steroids

Exhibit A: Riley Washington, third/fourth-string WB accused of attempted
murder; TO suspended him for two weeks, then decided he was innocent and
reinstated him. Washington was eventually exonerated.

Exhibit B: Lawrence Phillips. Phillips was a starter, but the way TO treated
him proves (to me, anyway) the point jj is making. Recall that while LP was
suspended, TO didn't allow him to practice. Thus, when he was reinstated a
week before NU's (presumably) toughest game (CU on the road), he wasn't
ready to play. If TO had been concerned only with winning, you can be sure
he would have had LP ready for the Buffies.

I think 99% of the time TO knew what he was doing when he punished a kid and
when he let him back on the team and it wasn't always about whether the kid
could help him win or not. I'm sure that there were kids that hardly ever
played that were treated just the same.
