[Husker] Casey Martinez Talks to the LA Times

[David Strong]

Yes, Taylor apparently violated a team rule.  Though Pelini has said
repeatedly it had nothing to do with a phone call.  (Do you think he is
lying?)  Regardless, violations of team rules should be addressed.  I think
when, where, and how are the issues that folks disagree on in this case.

"absolutely 100% inexcusable"  might be a little over the top.  Or not,
depends on your point of view.
