If true, his actions were wrong, but lets not crucify him even if he is guilty. I understand that his football career at Nebraska should be over if he is guilty. But lets remember, WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES, and the time for forgiveness is at hand.
I sincerely hope that he is innocent...but either way, I'll support him and hope he gets his life back together down the road.
I agree, I hope he is able to rebuild his life when its all said and done. I too have two daughters, and would never want something like this to happen to them. But truth be told, we all know that our daughters will be subjected to this type of stuff at some point during their life...hopefully on a smaller scale. In all honesty, I would be upset, but I would never ask for a man to go to prison for a long time over something like that....maybe a little jail time, but prison is not the answer. From what I have read, it doesn't appear that we are talking about a violent rape, simply some groping. This country has turned anything related to sex, as some sort of taboo topic. I also think this country is obsessed with sex, both good and bad. This "victim" isn't dead...she's been alledgedly violated, but life will go on. So I don't think that we need to bury Andy just yet.
So he basically groped some gal under her clothing in a bar, allegedly. Sounds like a real classy guy...and I'm sure his classy fans will be along shortly to defend him.
Nope. This guy will get what he deserves and good riddance to him if he's gonna act that way. That goes for all our players, I don't care who they are. Make a mistake, yes, but you suffer the consequences. BTW: This was already posted. Check the smack room.
. Check the smack room.
. He is being charged with Sexual Assault in the first degree. .
Consequences being what? Missing a glorified practice game?
I was wondering why it was 1st degree, I'm no expert on NE law, but I was curious how one would commit first degree assault in a public place without getting the snot beat out of you. I know if I saw something like that going on at my local bar, I would do everything I could to restrain/pummel the perp until the cops arrived.
The incident happened at a place called the "Brass Rail". Isn't that a strip club?
EDIT:
Sorry, I just googled it and it's not.
San Jose has a "Brass Rail" and it is a strip club. Well, not really, it's a "bikini club". In California if they serve alcohol they can't get naked. Why people would want to pay that much to not see a girl get naked is beyond me. California retards...
Wow, let's see... A sex offender, an assault charge, and 4 disturbing the peace charges (which includes 2 minors) in the last week. Pelini really has a grasp on these guys...
Remember, Pelini walked into a bad situation. Cally and Uncle Tom Jellyfish created an atmosphere of nondiscipline where players like Lawrence Phillips and others were not dealt with in a manner that their crimes required. The players thought their **** didn't stink and they could pretty much do as they pleased because Cally and Uncle Tom Jellyfish would just slap thier wrists. I am not a Nebraska fan, but I do like Bo Pelini, and I think you will see a response to this matter that will send a message to his players that this type of conduct won't be tolerated.Wow, let's see...

Just got back from chatting with Bo Pelini.
Sounds like Bo isn't f***ing around. Word on the street is the player dismissed is Covey, who would be a favorite for starting LBer this season.

Here's my take on it. The Duke Lacrosse thing should have taught us to hold off until we get the facts. It really does not look very good at this point but we should be cautious.
My next thought. If in fact it turns out the he did this terrible thing I vote we let Ladyblaise determine the punishment. I may not always agree with blaise but on matters of this type I suspect she'd come up with an appropriate punishment.
On a side note I'm no expert but I've been with my lady for 18 year (still dunno what she was or still is thinking) and she's always needed time to by physically ready before any insertion of any type. Like I said I'm no expert.
i am uninterested in personally meting out punishment in this case. to me, the most interesting dimension is the husker fans reactions.
from what i can see, the reactions are split between those who are repulsed by the idea that any young man could think that the alleged incident is merely a prank or a rite of passage to the point of actually sticking two fingers into the netherparts of a girl at a bar.
and then there are the predictible red clad loons, who are high on the following points:
* the only reason the bail was so high is that the girl is the daughter of a judge.
* the judge "is or should be" in trouble with the state bar for recusing herself (they did not stop to identify whether the recused judge and the bail setting judge were one and the same - they damned and defamed the woman and have not so much as admitted that they made a faux pas)
* being as there is no way to physically prove penetration, a almost jubilant smugness is easy to detect in posts of fans anticipating a serious reduction in the charge. this is disconcerting - the issue is not whether or not the alleged incident HAPPENED, but rather that it is POSSIBLE that their cog could dodge a bullet, and return.
through this lunacy, i find it unbelievable that the fans so high on just getting their player back are the ones who are prone to bringing up "rape scandal" at cu. it makes me wonder if any synapses connect in their greymass at all.
from an analytical point of view, it is facinating.
you did? interesting.
the most intriguing part is your last statement. what did covey do?
edit: found out. back-to-back citations for MIP 2 nights in a row.
I can see where you are coming from with the two different classes blaise. I for one think this dip should be kicked off of the team, which sounds like it has already happened, and he should be locked up for quite sometime. As some of you have said Sexual Assault in the 1st degree can involved more than just an attempted or completed rape. Obviously, he got more than just a "feel" for this girl. I'm surprised he isn't still picking his teeth up off of the bar floor!
The bail sounds about right in this situation as that type of charge in Iowa would be around $250,000 and then you have to tac on the assault on peace officer charges which ups the bond fairly quickly if the officer's were injured.
Sorry. This was an LJS blog, not my writing.
I love this gem from Worden Tom. If you read between the lines it says "If you grabbed the bitches by the hair instead of the ass everything would be fine". :thumbsup: What a two faced prick!!!!Nebraska athletic director Tom Osborne also offered a statement.
"Alcohol abuse and binge drinking continues to be the number one problem affecting college students today. Educating our student athletes regarding these issues is a priority for our athletic department. Last week we had a mandatory student-athlete meeting where alcohol abuse was the primary topic. We expect our student athletes to go beyond the education process and to be good role models acting appropriately at all times. We do not take these recent violations of alcohol abuse lightly."
