Juiciest husker scandals

My dad used to say that Osborne or Devaney would go bail Johnny the Jet out of jail on Friday nights to play on Saturdays.

Osborne hiding the gun for Tyrone Williams.

Irving Fryar shaving points?

Marvin Sanders buying hookers on the universities dime on recruiting trips.

Carl's cocaine problems. His brother being a major prick.
I heard the Sanders incident was borderline rape.
 
We have gotten extremely soft - just not up to snuff physically. Seems like the work ethic isn't what it used to be, judging by the state of too many of our players physical condition. I think we have made progress in this area, though. It seems to me we have fewer stick armed, beer belly lineman than we did in the past 5 or so years. Overall the conditioning of the team looks to be improving.

Besides not being physically dominant, I think the will to win is not nearly what it used to be. Just the entire football program - seems like they haven't had that desire to just win. Easy for me to say many years after I played, when we were the dominant physical program in the country, but winning was everything and it didn't have to be talked about, it just was that way. The players and program has gotten used to losing, too used to it. Again, easy for me to say having been away from the program (moved away from Lincoln 20 years ago this year), but that's what my eyes tell me.

Coaching wise with Frost so far - man, I have been disappointed in how sloppy we are. We are almost the polar opposite of a T.O. team. Mistakes galore, penalties, terrible special teams - it is extremely hard to watch how we have played as a team these last 5+ years. I honestly can't believe T.O. wouldn't be on the horn or meeting with Frost and staff about this, at least to talk about it. It has to be driving him crazy to be so bad at these extremely important concepts and part of the game.

I am also not very impressed with the coaching staff in regards to scheme and adjustments. Seems like we do fine the first few series often, but after the scripted plays are done, we start to struggle. Also don't think we have a consistent game plan. And I dislike trying to play up tempo, primarily because we are so undisciplined, there is no way we can play up tempo when we are already sloppy as fuck. Martinez also is far too slow getting in to the next play, and we all know he isn't seeing things well enough to make reads in plays a lot, well you can also see he struggles to get the play called and team lined up to have any kind of successful up tempo strategy. Slow it down and give these guys a chance to get comfortable executing the plays that the coaches send in. Rushing is only magnifying the issue, IMO.

We don't seem to develop players well, either. Just hasn't been happening for these last 5 years or so. Development of talent, and utilizing that talent, is what separates coaches.

Defensively, I have long said I am not a fan of the 3-4 defense. I don't think it fits us well personally. I would prefer a 4-3 scheme with plenty of nickel. Get some big safeties up at OLB or nickel and let the 4 guys with hands on the ground bring the heat on the QB. Honestly, a lot like Mcbride had us doing in the 90's. But that isn't what Chinander wants to do, at least not as our base. I realize we are often not in our base 3-4 anyway, but I just am not fond of the 3-4 in general. Our defense should be better this year though, and we have a really good D Line and some super seniors back, so I think this years D should be improved. We will see.
The more I hear about the program from people who actually know about the program the worse I feel about it. Jfc.
 
I’m talking all time and things that were confirmed or extremely probable to be true. It will do better here than on Dean’s site. People always drop hints about stuff and then won’t specify.

I don’t really personally have any. Coach Devaney was a known womanizer. My mom used to work at the legion club in Lincoln and he frequented—he asked to take her home one night and she declined. After that he just asked if she’d be his driver, which she also declined. Yes, my mom is probably lying and banged old Bobby.

Frosty hiding in the closet from LP. Brass rail stuff. Whatever, I’m bored and curious what others have.
I’ll add Chris Kelsey and Mark Vedral doing the switcharoo on an ex girlfriend. The girl thought it was Kelsay who screwed her when it was Vedral.
 
Chocolate beer.... beer poured over someone's ass crack with the drinker underneath said ass crack drinking the beer.

I had never even heard or thought of such a thing until I saw it happen in the locker room that day. No idea why someone would do that.... especially a dude drinking off another dudes ass.

There are certain things you never forget. Someone passed out because he had their teammate choke them out in the locker room. Same set of dudes drinking ass beer off each others assholes. All in the GD locker room. It wasn't exactly in a back corner some where. Any coach or whoever could have walked right in. These guys were pretty nuts.

On a side note, Christian Peter was a huge human. Dude had the biggest legs and quads I have ever seen. I mean, I got used to being around a bunch of 6'-3"+, 300 lb+ lineman being around them all the time, but Christian had legs that were enormous, even compared to other big dudes. Only mention it because he was brought up earlier in the thread. Never spent any time around Christian outside of campus.

I never saw anyone do anything "illegal" or the sexual assault shit, etc nothing like that. The guys I hung out with were not like that, we were all pretty even keel. Not out looking for attention, etc. My best friend on the team didn't drink at all, I didn't even drink until the fall of my sophomore year. So guys like us (that would include Berringer in our group), we pretty much steered clear of any situations that would possibly get us in trouble. We still had fun, just didn't get stupid.
My uncle was tight with guys like Munford and Noonan. He is still real good friends with Munford. He said they would have a huge candy bowl full of pain killers sitting on the coffee table every time he came down to visit. He has quite a few good stories from those days too.
 
Had a buddy who played on team when Richie was there. We went to a party and he said everyone is cool but stay the f away from Richie he is not right. Fast forward an hour and Richie walks right past me basically grabs a guy by the throat and undertaker style removes him from the back deck. Was quite impressive and terrifying all at once, thought that bipolar fella was walking at me for a split second.

I’ve heard so many stories like this about Richie. He liked to kick the shit out of frat boys which I thought was kind of funny.
