Normally I try to be polite but are you really that stupid?
95 Nebraska is widely considered the best team to ever be fielded.
The offensive line allowed 0 sacks all year
Tommie Frazier was our QB behind that monster line
Ahman Green was our back up RB
Nobody played us close that year we beat 4 top 10 teams with an average score of 49-18.
Yeah we sure needed Phillips to win that Colorado game We only won 44-21 in Boulder and the game wasn't even remotely close. However according to your retarded logic LP was the only reason we won that game Dumbass.
Edit- You said Iowa, in which we didn't even play Iowa in 95...If you meant Iowa State, yes we needed LP to beat Iowa State 73-14.
Also, if memory serves me right I don't even think LP played in one of those games :rollseyes:
Where the 'Huskers ranked that year among all time teams is open to debate so...do you have a poll or vote by committee that says they're 'widely considered' the best team ever fielded?
Least of all is that you were incredibly one dimensional. Hard to be the best ever if you're not balanced.
Most of the teams you played weren't in your class, if memory serves. Hence the blow outs.
Again, I was living in Lincoln at the time and the bias toward's Phillips was unreal. Tell me, what punishment did he get from law enforcement for assaulting that woman?
What punishment would the average Joe have gotten?
Who started in the national championship game? Was it Phillips? I believe it was. Thank you. And he got a lot of carries as I recall.
Tom Osbourne had a ring to win and he wasn't taking chances. If he had to slap this kid on the wrist to keep his star RB and win the national championship, that's what he was going to do.
So what if Phillips never learned his lesson? So what if the guy he considered a father gave him a pass on 1st degree assault? The lesson Tom taught him was you can do what you want OFF the field as long as you play well ON it.
It's a lesson he took the NFL and failed with.
It's a lesson he's taken all the way to prison.
Your schedule was so weak that you helped form the Big 12 because you wanted more title shots and the Big 8 was a weak conference.
Only my 'Horns handed you your asses in the first Big 12 game. How many yards did we rack up on you that day? 600? So much for that vaunted black shirt defense.
I told my friends at the time that the Big 12 was going to be the end of Nebraska football as you know it. Texas and A&M got some big, beef eating boys just like the 'Huskers and they - unlike the 'Huskers - can actually throw it.
You guys never quite got the hang of airing it out. It's why we usually owned you.
You're one dimentional - always have been, always will be.
Lawrence Phillips could have been one of the greatest RB's the NFL had ever seen. Great speed and great power. But Tom Osbourne let him off the hook. He let this kid down. At this critical moment of his life, Tom slapped him on the wrist to keep him playing.
Sad.
There's no way...NO WAY he should have played that year at all.
If you didn't need him, he would have been suspended that year.
Tom did what was best for Tom, not what was best for LP.
Can you honstly tell me that, if LP wasn't a 'Husker, he wouldn't have gone to jail?
