[Husker] Purify comments

[Lynette Tillner]

Interesting. 

My interpretation of the original post was that "Winning" was not as
much of a priority for Purify as it was for the "Fans." Also that
Purify was not as invested in Nebraska Winning Championships or in
playing for the "Fans." 

It is more likely that the Fans (more than SOME of the current
players) are the ones invested in the Nebraska Football legacy of
playing hard smash-mouth football and WINNING championships. 

A new recruiting philosophy is also welcome in my opinion. I want to
see players that CARE about the University, the Fans and WINNING
games more than they care about the Heisman, leaving early for the
Pro's, etc. 

I know it's a pipe dream with these Gen X,Y,Z, et al-ers! 

GBR, 

Lynette
