What rumors are true?

Would some still rape or steal or do drugs? Some kids do crazy dumb things all the time. Does Bo have any Italian friends in the mafia?

No one is throwing games. Crap on a crust...stand back from the keyboard for a second and think rationally about that.
Do you really think the football players like being the laughingstock of college football this year? Do they enjoy being bashed online, and at every office water cooler and coffee shop in the state, if not the Midwest? Do they relish the looks of pity and disgust from classmates, especially of the opposite sex, in the dorms and classrooms? Does anybody enjoy getting their teeth kicked in week after week by inferior teams?
No freaking way.
Not to mention the players involved would 100% nuke any possible chance of a future pro career, coaching career, or anything remotely related to athletics should the allegations be proven true.
Here's a more realistic scenario: the team doesn't have much talent, they're not adjusting well to the new schemes, and the coaches are doing a poor job compensating, resulting in disappointing performances on the field.[/QUOTE]

Tulsa, you do this all the time. ALL THE TIME... You say stuff, then claim you read it somewhere and finally say you're not gonna spend the time looking for it. If you're gonna say it, then you better have proof. If you don't have proof or are too lazy to provide it, then don't say it.
I will await your diatribe towards rrt and the OP who did not provide links.
I asked you for the link or did you conveniently forget?
Everyone knows you disappeared for 20 minutes and went looking for them, couldn't find them, then declared you weren't gonna waste hours looking for it. I know darn well if you could have found the posts that proved you were right, you would have linked them, but you couldn't because they don't exist. Busted.
Exactly. IMO that's not even an option. I just can't see some of these guys doing this.
Not a chance they are doing this. I can't believe people aren't doing their best to win games. This is another reason the whole "Bo/Kaz/Pap are contacting our guys causing us to lose" nonsense has very little bearing. Our guys are trying to win games.
It was mentioned here in this post. Did I ever insinuate it was accurate? Not a chance. It is crazy talk.

Now...where is your link about specific players other than Tommy throwing games?
It was never seriously suggested in that thread or anywhere else that anyone threw a game, especially Armstrong. You suggested in this thread that it wasn't in jest. But by all means, keep calm and troll on.
Stop...you and multiple others just had to have the link. So I spent 20 minutes finally looking for it, found it, and gave it to you. Multiple people in that thread discussed Tommy and throwing the game. My specific comment here (and it was the only thing I said) was, "It's been mentioned here about Tommy."
The appropriate response is to say, "Oh, OK. I'm sorry...I didn't remember it." This is why it is ridiculous to play your little game of "Where's the link?" I knew you didn't really want the link...you just wanted to troll. I was stupid enough to play into your little game. That's on me.
@rrthusker I don't really need to see your link. You don't have to respond.

********. Nobody in that thread suggested Tommy or anyone else was throwing games. One person made a joke about how ridiculous it would have been and all the moving parts it would have took, and it was clearly a joke stating it didn't happen. That's all I can find. You shot your mouth off about something pretty serious that wasn't true and now you're deflecting. Also RRT never said other players were throwing games. Didn't even suggest it. He was saying a few players might still be loyal to Bo, but if you re-read his post it's really clear he wasn't suggesting anyone was throwing games.
Thanks for showing us nothing. Better keep searching. Just admit that you were shooting from the hip and were wrong.
Let me help you again. Here is what you should say:
"Tulsa Tom, I am sorry. I now see that there is a link that confirms your statement that said, 'It has been mentioned here about Tommy.' I have been a troll in asking you to play my 'little link game' and feel ashamed. In the future I will attempt to behave with more prudence.
P.S. We did get you to bite...thus our trolling worked
"

I'm not saying that our players haven't been contacted as I think they have been. I also think that this can really destroy locker room chemistry which in turn can have a huge effect on your play..
Tulsa, please follow this link: http://m.omaha.com/huskers/blogs/re...426-6dfe-11e5-9023-03405f8a5ff3.html?mode=jqm
This team and staff needs our support right now, not continued negativity. Many on this board didn't give the guy a chance from the beginning. That's really sad on your part, but give it a rest at least until after the season. Firing the guy after 2 years much less 1 would be a complete disaster and the absolute end of Nebraska football as a legitimate program.

thats probably the thread I misunderstood.
When my team who I followed since johnny tore them loose from their shoes. is 2-3, and bo is still being talked about…I probably just scanned the comments quickly and took the wrong meaning away.
my mistake. I should of said are the bo rumors true?
Do you read my stuff? Here's the last few days and few items from before that.
1. I said that Tommy was brought up in the story on lines. Mentioned how ridiculous that was.
2. I said I think our locker room is fine. Unlike some others, I really believe our players are doing what they can to win.
3. I said I liked the coaches move of Cross to defense. If he isn't going to see the field on offense lets see what he can do on defense.
4. I said I liked what Langs has done this year. His 4th quarter against Illinois was bad but the rest has been a pleasant surprise.
5. I said I think we take Wisconsin. They aren't as good and we have the talent to make it happen.
6. I said we shouldn't get bent out of shape over our players thinking it is us against the world. It's been this way before. Look at Bob Devaney's days. We will be fine.
7. I consistently said I have like Wags and our running game. I wish we would run it more because it has been pretty stinking good.
8. I have said I love how we defend the run. We are way up there in run defense.
When it comes to negativity you might want to harangue posters who are constantly talking about bad blood in the locker room, ripping our kids b/c they lack talent, telling everyone how horrible we are and don't have a chance against Wisky, telling people this year is really just a rebuilding year it is such a mess, talking about kids who need kicked off the team...all of those things are negativity.
