The horror of it all! Two OWIs and a public intox! It’s definitely on equally despicable ground as beating up and sexually assaulting women. I mean, are you really trying to tie all of this together to save face for Tom Osborne? You’re pathetic.

The Suh story is well known....and I heard first-hand from someone from within debbyland...at least the iowa kids have a chance to learn from this...unlike Suh who got away with things and is still a fricking waste of space...
Three incidents...hopefully not a 4th...
Why are so many hawkeye players drinking and driving?
A roster with more than 100 players. Two get OWIs in an 8 month period. Sooo many.
2 OWI arrests and 1 embarrassing PI arrest.
Hopefully iowa gets control of this problem.
Guess how that happens? By enforcing DISCIPLINE. Quite the revelation to you, I know.

How did this become about drunk Iowa football players?
People are a piece of work.

Those 1 game suspensions sure do set an example and put an end to the hawkeyes drunkenness. I mean, after Snyder's arrest in December, wait.....nvm.
Horribly weak. Tell me, how many games did Christian Peter sit during his career at Nebraska? In the aftermath of 8 arrests and four convictions? You’re gonna throw rocks living in that glass house?? Lmao
Don’t forget. Christian Peter was also elected to the Nebraska Football HOF. That basically tells you all you need to know about the state of Nebraska.
His bad, it was only 3.......makes him a felon?
"LPD spokeswoman Sgt. Kathy Phillips said officers on the scene of the accident found in their records system that Williams had been convicted of two previous DUI charges in 2004 and 2009. The 2009 conviction occurred in California. The records did not indicate the location of the 2004 offense.
Third-offense DUI with a blood-alcohol level of .150 or more is considered a Class III-A felony, punishable by up to three years in prison and a $10,000 fine. Williams is also facing a revocation of his driver's license for up to 15 years.
Lincoln Police Sgt. Jeri Roeder said Williams rear-ended another vehicle at the intersection of Ninth and N. Williams was alone in his car; the other car had three occupants — a female Uber driver and two passengers. None of the three sustained injuries. Roeder said Williams was “completely cooperative” with police upon their arrival at the scene."
"Morgan was initially charged with possession of more than 20 grams of marijuana, a felony, and possession of paraphernalia after a traffic stop outside a 7-Eleven on the afternoon of May 6, the day after students finished final exams at UNL."
"Husker safety Antonio Reed, who was with Morgan, was arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor marijuana possession."
"LINCOLN - University of Nebraska-Lincoln police confirmed they arrested two NU football players this past week.
Police arrested incoming freshman wide receiver Jariah Tolbert late Wednesday night for possession of marijuana. UNL Police said Tolbert ran from an officer in a campus parking lot before being caught and arrested.
Officials also confirmed UNL Police arrested sophomore defensive back Boaz Joseph last Saturday after he stole a bicycle. Joseph took a "Bait Bike" which is a bike tracked by GPS.
This is the second time in the past month officials arrested a husker football player for stealing bikes on campus. Linebacker Josh Banderas faced similar charges in May."
"Nebraska led all Big Ten schools in ejections, as 238 people were ejected from Memorial Stadium during Cornhuskers home games."
"A Lincoln middle school industrial arts teacher and former Nebraska football player has been arrested on suspicion of sexual assault of a child."
Not sure putting all of these together gets to 20 years ago, keep going?
Don't stop there. Correct his other obvious mistake while you iowa fans continue to deflect away from all of the hawkeye drunks.
Someone went and got themselves TRIGGERED. I love it. Nothing like a fan passionate about defending and honoring a legacy of corruption. GBR!
He does pretty well trying to defend something that can't be defended. I'll give him that. The effort is there.
This exact quote is what the announcers said describing Neb’s defense against Iowa in last year’s game.
This is stupid. The obvious mistake he is alluding to is that the WR coach was banned from the team for the remainder of August and suspended without pay for the first 4 games of the season. He was not allowed to attend games. He went into counseling and treatment and pledged to help the athletic dept and community in outreach to prevent drunk driving.
The thing "hardliners" will never get is that a pound of flesh isn't always required or most effective. Sure, it pleases the masses ignorant to the situation and the person, and it pisses them off when they don't agree with how a situation is handled, but just because you think it should have been handled one way doesn't mean its the only correct way to handle it. You're probably the same people that are more worried about punishing people than you are about people making positive change. Positive change can come from a lot of different avenues. Williams received a punishment from the law, University and complied with all of the requirements.
It's possible to say you would have chosen a different punishment and also realize that your way isn't the only way. What resulted from this? Good or bad? What has Williams taught his players about accepting responsibility, committing to change? Do you know? If not, maybe evaluate that before judging the punishment. If you can't do that, then you're one of those people that is simply looking for a pound of flesh to satisfy your self.
Yes we should. You guys should win again, but you aren't getting a Mike Riley team to play against this year.
You don't get to facing a felony charge and it being your third offense and have much of a leg to stand on when talking about accepting responsibility. He's fortunate that the people he hit with his vehicle were okay.
You're right, he is fortunate. And I know how it works.
I can see it both ways. I understand just cutting him loose for his third instance in under 15 years. I also understand Mike Riley/UNL administration saying, "this is the first time I've had an issue with you, I'm going to punish you, but I believe you can be better than this. I'm giving you a second chance with me. If you break the rules again, you're gone," which is essentially what they did.
Honest question, in your opinion if he were an average recruiter does he get the 'my first incident with you' treatment?
here is my honest response:
1) if I were the coach, I wouldn't have hired him if he wasn't good at the job I hired him to do. At the point of the incident, his acumen would not have been considered.
2) We don't know what he was like around the program. I think I would need to see if felt like he truly realized the impact of his decision/problem, if I felt like he would change course, be remorseful, and be a better person on the other side. I think stuff like this can be used as a testament to people around you that things like this don't have to be the end of the story. Nobody deserves an opportunity at redemption, but I think a certain amount of grace and mercy for mistakes like this can make the difference in a person's life. If he ever had an issue with it again he'd be done.
3) If I were the coach, and it were the first instance on my watch, I'm not sure how I would feel punishing him for mistakes me made up to 14 years earlier. If there were a second issue on my watch, that would be the only second chance he would get with something as serious as alcohol and driving.
Not sure if anyone answered this for you yet, but since he's a grad transfer he doesn't have to sit a year. Same thing James Butler did when he came to Iowa last year.
Says the person bringing up drinking citations to deflect away from Tom Osborne letting women beaters and sexual assaulters carry him to glory.
Wow you must be drunk, stay away from mopeds..... thought I would get it out of the way before the pilot flew in.
Sure, but to be honest I didn't have to try very hard because I'm not trying to defend a sexual assault enabler.
