[Husker] Purify's day in court

Thu Jul 19 14:06:39 CDT 2007

I agree with everything you have stated.  God knows the teams of old did all
kinds of BAD during the 'good ole days' and got away with it because there
troubles never got the light of day.

Today if a soldier accidentally steps on Holy ground while defending himself
in battle CNN catches it on video and we get to see it in real time and
scrutinize it before the soldier even knows what he did. (Little off subject
but represents how the media watches everything we do)

What Purify did was wrong, I don't know him personally; but I do hope this
experience has made an impact upon him and the opportunity he has ahead of
him is a positive one and he succeeds.

I would like to see him play football again but that is up to the coaches
and the people who are close to him that know the problems that he is
facing.

Whenever you get that many young men together in one place and you don't
keep them busy 24/7 they will find something completely stupid to entertain
there minds.

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 ...
