He was a terrble human being in college too. I wouldnt call this 'sad'.

I didn't know that.

ya, he was a piece of shit..he's a big part of why I don't love nebraska football as much anymore

Maybe I'm confusing him with someone else. Wasn't there a slash player around that time (qb/rb) that was really good for Nebraska, and maybe wasn't a POS?

Yes. You're totally confused. Phillips was arrested for beating the shit out of his girlfriend in '95.

I'm with verb. Finding sadness for a human grows increasingly tougher when he continues to perform subhuman acts.

And was reinstated just in time to play in the national championship game. That team was filled with pretty shitty humans.

Could you imagine if that happened today? I recall a pretty damning Sports Illustrated article about the Doctor Tom and that team.

Different era. It's not like Nebraska was the only team dealing with shit like this, they were just in the spotlight because they were so good.

I always found it a little strange that Switzer got so much shit for this kind of stuff during that era. I'm sure a large part of that was Switzer's attitude, but still, other teams were doing much the same stuff, if not worse.

well I'm confused now. I certainly don't feel sadness for that guy then. I don't know who I was thinking of.

lol yeah, he was such a great guy

True story, my cousin lived in the same apartment complex where Phillips assaulted his girlfriend. She wasn't there that night but she said she was always terrified of Phillips on campus.

Truth. All eyes were on us because we were playing for national titles. One missed FG away from winning 4 out of 5.

Not condoning anything LP has done or anyone else like him. But it is sad that he couldn't turn his life around. That is all I was getting at.

There is a reason LP was never invited back after he left in 1995.

I had a run in with Christian Peter in 1995. I honestly thought he was going to beat up my friends and I. Don't take steroids, kids.

Yeah, another guy I wouldn't want to be around during that time.

Talking X's and O's that team won the national title game by 38 points. They would have been just fine without LP. He was actually reinstated like 3-4 games before the national title game. Not that I approved of him being reinstated because I didn't.

Doug and Monkey might know what I am talking about.

We have a fast food Tex Mex place called Amigo's. They sell these wonderful (terrible for you) things called crisp meat burritos.




There is an urban legend that Richie Incognito when he was here once ate 100 on a dare. That dude is straight up psychotic. I am shocked he is not in jail or dead to be honest. Just a terrible human being.

I agree 100% with this. Switzer and TO are very similar in that they have skeletons from the same graveyard. Totally different personalities though obviously. The spotlight was on them because they were playing in big games. If they were coaching at KU or Purdue it wouldn't be as well-documented.

I always really liked Switzer. As does my Dad.
