[Husker] Purify's day in court

[Kaufsss at aol.com]

No - I think he thinks just being gone is not good enough.  Would a  public 
hanging be enough?  Would next to the fountains behind the  Union at the USC 
game be appropriate?  What he did was wrong... but if  you think this is so 
horrible - you need to take off your red colored  glasses.  This is nothing 
compared to what was swept under the rugs  without the internet and ESPN and public 
outcry about athletes getting special  treatment around even when I was in 
college in the late 70- early 80's -at  Nebraska and everywhere. What I had heard 
about some goings on from a friend of  a friend type stuff when I was there 
was amazing.  Only two real  differences here - you summarily believe what you 
hear as true, and with the  tight scrutiny of athletes now - something like 
this can not just go away - even  if it should.  Do I want him to stay on the 
team?  Yes - for a variety  of reasons - he is a great player AND it is what is 
best for him.  The  Husker haters will already point to this as a black mark - 
as we  Husker supporters look at Oklahoma and the Bomar thing or Texas and  
their drug problem players or Colorado and recruiting or IA State and  their 
fans or ...
