People who quote the entire effing OP need to get the ban hammer for one day to teach them some netiquette. There is nothing more annoying when you don't have access to a computer and are trying to read the forums on a phone. So please for the love of God, stop.

I think people who call for bannings for normal usage of the forum are the ones with bad netiquette. Just because you're doing something non-standard doesn't mean that everyone else has to adapt to your devices limitations. Should I call for people to be banned for posting images if I have a slow connection?

 
My honest opinion:

He's a bit of a prima donna that seemed a little bit too preoccupied with his image and always looking to make a "statement." I deduced this from his big hair, blue practice jersey, the writing on his arm tape, the way he constantly tried to get in front of the camera during the spring game with his jungle hat, and so on. He would have been better served spending less time trying to be poetic about his affinity for Bo.

I used to really like Kenny. A lot. But honestly, his act started to wear a little thin on me. I think his productivity went down as time went on, yet his appetite for the spotlight seemed to grow. He's a very talented young man, but I'm just not sure his head was always in the right place. It gives me no pleasure to say any of that. I wanted to love him as unconditionally as I did Rex or Ameer.

You might disagree with my honest opinion, but that won't stop me from sharing it.

(Edited to add that the people tweeting negative things to him and other players are classless and immature.)

It's annoying on a PC as well, and completely pointless. You can call for bannings for any reason you want.

Same could be said of Reggie Bush...except Bush had to give his Heisman back for being given illicit payments. Johnny got his money the old fashioned way...at gunpoint...which is the same way he kept the cable guy from disconnecting him out in California, if you recall...
...genius...

Kenny can't hold Reggies jock either....

Genius

 
HHHHHMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM! Perhaps I and a couple of others were mistaken; but we took FOE not to mean the usual intent ; but rather F... O.. Eichorst, seeing that it was coupled with the Pelini band. Whatever the intent, I think we need to just let it go and chalk it up to life's lessons as we grow.

 
I think "keep PLUCKING that chicken" has a better ring (and I guess I can understand the OP was barred for two weeks from participating in this seasons long discussion) but I still can't help but see this:

Thanks for the memories, KB! Perspective and time may change a lot for everyone.

Honestly...with message boards and social media and smartphones...being a higher profile player in college today would suck at times.

 
I have mixed feelings about Kenny.

KB was a great player as far as Nebraska WRs go. He holds the catches and yards records and never met a block that he didn't like.

With that said, he was very polarizing off the field, doing/saying many things that rubbed people (including me) the wrong way.

I thank him for his play over the last 5 years and wish him nothing but luck in the future.

 
I didn't read all the responses, just Landlord's opening post. Well said. Hardly anyone will remember, but I posted a while back a thread called '8 quarters' - which was to say there were only 8 quarters left to watch Ameer and Bell. All I got in response was a bunch of good riddance KB type responses. I started backing away from the steaming pile after that. Disappointed in more than a few around here.

EDIT: Foot in mouth on the 8 quarters responses.....they were much more positive than I thought. The general negativity has clouded my mind. Apologies.
