The haters are out in force the last few weeks. Perfectly willing to ignore a thousand+ fine upstanding citizens Tom Osborne helped develop. First to throw stones and stand in judgment over a man who's name they can't even spell. I love Tom Osborne, even if I frequently misspell his name. But in fairness he’s been catching flack for Lawrence Phillips since the incident occurred. What Phillips did was egregious. I’m reminded of the quote from the beginnig of the movie Pushing Tin about air traffic controllers: “You land a million planes safely, then you have one little mid-air, and you never hear the end of it.''

Reasonable minds can debate whether Osborne's actions were self-serving or munificent, or a mixture of both. Reasonable minds can also realize this event happened nearly 30 years ago, and that it's not remotely relevant what happens at Nebraska today.

Reasonable minds can also realize this event happened nearly 30 years ago, and that it's not remotely relevant what happens at Nebraska today. Reasonable minds can also agree that I like to pull people’s chains. If it didn’t bother the other person, it wouldn’t be effective. And bringing this subject up is less about relevancy and more about my entertainment. I don’t see Murray and Phillips situations as congruous in the slightest. I can relate to Murray’s actions. It doesn’t make them right, and I hope she sees the consequences as learning opportunities rather than seeing herself as the victim. I cannot relate to what Phillips did even remotely. The hard childhood he endured might explain it, but it doesn’t excuse it. He shouldn’t have played after he did what he did. But he did, and now it’s a big part of the legacy for Osborne, for Nebraska football, and for the Nebraska athletic program regardless of how long ago it transpired. That’s just how it works.

Which is particularly interesting considering the U21 team should still be in Toronto for the Continental Championships in late June (23-July 1 after being in training camp from June 14-22). The cost continues to rise.

The cost continues to rise. She was already removed from that team a week or two ago (replaced by Blair Bayliss from Pitt). The hearing did not impact it, per se.

Are there still active moderators on VT? Why would they? It’s like watching a children’s daycare 24 hours a day. They probably just threw up their hands and said good luck.

HM Insta story today. Can’t figure out how to post a pic. It’s just text. I’m hoping the very best for her.
-@harpermurray
I deeply regret some of the recent decisions I've made, and the pain that I have caused my family, my team, volleyball fans, and everyone who has supported me. I take full responsibility for my actions. This past month has been a great opportunity for me to recenter and focus on myself to get back to who I am. Thank you to everyone who has shown me grace, kindness, and compassion. When the time is right I hope to share my story more and in the process hopefully help others. Again thank you to everyone who has supported and believed in me.

“Thank you to everyone who has shown me grace, kindness, and compassion” lol so that eliminates half this thread People rarely thank those who hold them accountable until they’ve grown and changed. Kinda like how you thank your mom or stern teacher years down the road when you develop sense… and accountability is compassion, so she’s welcome ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png)
