Fwd: Re: [Husker] Steroids

[Sean McGrath]

I will say in the case of Williams that he did do time but by the time
he was convicted he was already playing for the Packers. This shows the
pace of justice since Williams did this his freshman year. I would also
like to point out he capped the guys car and not the guy himself. Again,
I'm sure there was some internal punishment but Osborne has always let
the justice system work things out before he gives an outright
punishment. Let's remember that Damon Benning was arrested for domestic
violence only to have the charges dropped because they were false. It
would have sucked if Osborne punished Benning and then the charges were
proven to be false later.

Brian Blankenship - motor vehicle homocide, never missed a down -  I
think he was in jail and still played.
Tyrone Williams - capped a guy, never missed a down.
Broderick Thomas - banned from the dorms for violence, never missed a
down

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.
