My choice is; D) all of the above.I can't tell if he's old and senile or just stupid.
Right...I very seldom agree with CM, but...The way you can view certain things with such delusions of granduer yet view other things with such negative pessemism is frankly befuddling.I was going to step out of this thread. But two of you really need to go back and look at the facts.
TO told LP that if he did A, B and C, he'd have a chance to be reinstated/play. Most of that involved staying out of additional trouble, attending counseling and staying up in school.
When LP achieved those goals, should TO have welched because it would have been the politically expedient thing to do?
No.
Let this dunpster fire of a thread die. The board needs it to.
Derpjust so nobody wonders who it was.. I gave the +1And that's a fine opinion to have.I'm saying there should have never been a parameter to meet that allowed him on the field again that year.I was going to step out of this thread. But two of you really need to go back and look at the facts.

No.
But don't assume that anyone with a different opinion is acting out of selfish motives.

Something tells me Eichorst probably took longer than the other kids to even learn his abc's back in the day.
DrrrrrrrrrrrrpadurpNever thought I'd see a husker fan equate TO with Peterno.
Husker Nation is dead.

He was using knapp's example of integrity in a different context to make himself look better. That wasn't knapp's intention I'm sure. His point was all coaches can be looked at in an unbiased way and cm did what cm does.Can't necessarily say I disapprove of the first sentence.DrrrrrrrrrrrrpadurpNever thought I'd see a husker fan equate TO with Peterno.

If Osborne showed up at parties in fur coats with coeds on each arm, I'd treat him more like Switzer. If he'd fast roped into the stadium, I'd treat him more like a host of Miami coaches.
But, he didn't.
Again, it's back to that "benefit of the doubt" thing.
Joe Paterno didn't show up at parties in fur coats, or fast-rope into stadiums, either. "Benefit of the doubt" has to be checked with sober judgment.

Negative View Crew? Can we make t-shirts?I'm doing my own personal part towards a happier Husker Board. I've put one poster on ignore already and would place the notorious cm husker as well but then most threads would be half empty so I will simply refrain as much as possible from engaging him.
I have become quite guilty of being a hostile poster towards the negative view crew and it has made me rather unhappy to come here. That isn't good since it makes me want to spend less and less time here. I've taken a bit of a step back from the board to clear my head a bit and let discussions heal themselves without me getting too involved in throwing out counter points that nobody needs to sift through.
This thread itself was probably unnecessary but so were a lot of the posts that were quoted in here.
