VERY TRUE...and he smashed into a parked vehicle too...but they made sure they didn't pursue him until the next morning. If it was nowdays Rodgers would of had his Heisman stripped.
Lawrence Phillips, Thunder Collins, two prominent ones, the biggest might be Christian Peter in his tell all book about drugs, women, drinking and Osborne knew about it all.
I realize that this is an old thread, but my goodness, man! Seriously, are you dilusional or a compulsive liar?
First, there are good cops and bad cops everywhere. I have a cousin who was a Lincoln cop, and a couple of friends who currently are, one works Nebraska games. Just like any other city, while a few cops look the other way when athletes get into trouble, most do their jobs without prejudice to the offender. And, some Lincoln cops actually go out of their way to give the high profile football players a hard time because they are jealous of the attention that they get.
As for the Suh incident, yes, he wrecked his car about 2 AM after a game and had a blood alcohol level under the legal limit. He wasn't sited for DUI, his insurance paid for the damage. People get into accidents all the time, big deal.
Reading the article that was posted (from 1995 or whenever) and adding in Terrell Farley, it seems to me that there were about 7 or 8 (I could be wrong, probably forgetting someone) Huskers who were arrested during the period that we were dominating college football. Two of them (Washington and Benning) were either not charged or found not guilty. So, on the average of about 2 guys per year.
The problem was, most of these were high profile guys and Nebraska was kicking the crap out of everyone at the time. I'm not excusing anything these players did, but for all of the negative press Nebraska got, they were not nearly as bad as OU, CU, or Miami in the 80's, FSU, Miami, or Va Tech in the 90s. Hell, compared to Iowa in the 2000's, the 90's Huskers looked like a bunch of choir boys. Bottom line, football programs are a microcosm of society, most of the players are good kids, and a few are bad apples. It doesn't matter if its Alabama, Notre Dame, Nebraska, Texas, or Iowa.
You have to dig up about 40 years worth run-ins with the law of Husker football players to even compare to what is going on in Iowa City since KF took over. Numerous arrests, DJK/PED coverup, and now the whole "Condition-gate" deal, Iowa looks to be totally out of control. It's just that nobody really cares because Iowa is irrelevant.
Just to prove the point that you either have no clue about what you are talking about or that you are a flat out liar, Christian Peter didn't write a damn book. Before you spout off, you need to get your facts straight.
