    Didn't Dr. Tom cover his *** when he was in Lincoln?

    Somebody probably called him the "N" word.

    What? Nowledgable?
    Everything progressives do is aimed at weakening democracy, capitalism and the social and cultural institutions that support those things...... They are about subjugating people and being a ruling class.

    yeah, I thought he got in trouble for beating up his GF or something like that...but was not really punished...course these days he'd be kicked off the team (rightfully so)
    How do you know if you get there, if you don't know where you are going?..oh and I had 1,713 post on the "other board"..I hate being a rookie again!

    Best I remember, he got kicked off the team for the last few games of that season. But by the bowl game, Dr. Tom decided he had been rehabbed and let him play in the bowl game.

    He picked his gf up by the ankles and swung her head against a tree. And the sainted dr. Tom put him back on the team.

    IMO, the worst part of Dr. Tom & Neb's cover-up for Phillips was taking away the girl's basketball scholarship. Now that's just dirty.

    Are you sure you aren't confusing him with Jason Voorhies from one of the Friday The 13th movies? Pretty sure that was a method of death for a poor horny teenage camper girl in one of the sequels.

    I'm remembering an SI article of the time. Clearly not personal knowledge. Perhaps the inspiration went the other way?

    Aaron Hernandez will be looking for a roommate now. Maybe they hook up?

    I cant' find this story.

    I did find a story about him getting mad about losing a pickup game, though. He, of course, responded in the only reasonable way; by driving a stolen car onto the field at high speeds and running over a few teenagers.

    This guy makes Aaron Hernandez look like a saint.

    Re: Former Husker great Lawrence Phillips suspect in jail murder

    I remember it pretty clearly; I was more easily shocked back in my youth. But, it was several decades ago and I could be putting together several different stories. I do remember the dragging the gf down the stairs and also stories about the guy running for miles naked, in the rain.

    I'm not going to go searching for it and we seem to be largely in agreement about the guy's character, so I'll let it drop and assume it was my memory at fault.

    I'm not calling you a liar. I just was hoping to find the story (I mean...I wish it wasn't true...but if it was, I wanted to verify it).
