[Husker] Purify

[Greg Zimmerman]

Steve, what a load of horsefeathers. Where there's smoke, there is often 
fire. Maybe these "angels" shouldn't put themselves in positions where 
their actions might be misinterpreted by the authorities.

If these types of incidents don't bother you, fine, but they do bother 
me and many others. Playing a sport for the University of Nebraska is a 
privilege. And with this privilege comes a responsibility to toe the 
line. If you choose not to, then there should be consequences to pay.
