Purify gets a year of probation

[THRICE]

I hope Callahan lets him back. 
Suspend him for a couple games or something but I don't see this as a reason to throw the kid's senior season/future down the tubes.

I have a feeling that's what it will come down to.

[pissclams]

I doubt Prince would kick off a player in Purify's shoes and I would NOT be angry at him not kicking him off. 

Prince would can the kid in a heartbeat.  Seriously.

[S. Parker]

So are you going to answer the question or dance around it some more?

I don't know, that's why I asked you first. You seem to have very strong feelings about this, so I wanted to see what you thought was fair.

so are you waltzing now or square dancing?

I'm just waiting for you to answer the question that I originally asked you. I'm saying I DON'T KNOW what a fair punishment for DUI would be, and since you seem to be very passionate about this issue I was interested in your opinion.

That's crap.  For multiple reasons.  Prince wouldn't throw a kid under the bus like that.  Kicking off a player for these things is WRONG.

I can't argue with that.  Risking an innocent person's life isn't worth taking someone's senior year of football away. 

You Nebraska fans need to seriously wake up to reality.

Not necessarily. The proximity of these charges to each other leaves Purify open to anything.

I completely believe it wrong to kick off any player who is in Purify's shoes.  Any team, any player.  People freaking make mistakes.   ESPECIALLY KIDS.

Correct, people do make "mistakes" and mistakes have consequences. In this case anything from a 1 game to season long suspension is on the table as an option. Purify understands this, demonstrated by the fact that in his apology he didn't know if he would be allowed back.

i didn't say it was the right thing to do, i said it's what he would do because it is.  the guy is a freak about discipline.

kinda like the bald headed principal from the hit movie "back to the future 1-3"

You're being illogical.  I never said that he didn't deserve punishment; but using your logic Callahan should ruin Purify's life because he could have ruined someone else's. I don't agree with that.

I don't remember your anti-drunk driving rhetoric last basketball season...

Right on, i'd just disagree with Prince there.  Discipline does has a purpose.  I think it's fair to say in general that a random person in purify's shoes has the ability to change his ways and avoid such mistakes in the future by learning from his consequences and by seeing that he was wrong.  I think a consequence as harsh as kicking the player off a team for something like this is bad discipline, if your goal of discipline is to bring beneficial change to the player. 

Now, I don't believe a player should ever be given indefinite chances.

pissclams you have been a consistent voice of reason about this from day one. I hope the rest of these guys are just blowing out their ass because it is a Husker and don't really believe their crap because I think it is a safe bet that something like this will happen to a Wildcat player before too long.

it would/will be interesting to see what prince will do w/ a dui and bar fight player, we shall see

We try to teach our players how not to do bad things so they won't get this way in the first place.

Just a thought.

Didn't KSU athletics develop a stricter policy about this type of stuff? A serious accident happened last semester with a girl in the rowing program. It was related to people country cruising (she wasn't the driver).

Seriously, at UNL they have a SafeRide program that runs 7 nights a week, from 7 pm to 7 am. Is it too much for him to call and get a ride?

I know who pissclams is.  He's demonstrating the same argument you clowns are using.  Taking away one year of football isn't going to destroy a kid's life.

[pissclams]

ok it won't ruin his life.  it would have a greater impact on it than what he deserves though.

Hey Taco bender, Purify is number 16, who is that suppose to be? First time using Microsoft Paint?

If you want to relive the glory days of LP and the Warden you just have to substitute Osborne for Callahan, Phillips for Purify and throw Scott Frost into the mix somewhere. 

[KSU4ME]

I don't know how accurate that article is, but we will see.  I hate when all I hear is the word assault.  Does that mean a push, a punch or spitting on somebody?  they use that word to describe a million different things.  if it was a fist then he might not be around.  Callahan is a very strict coach.  ifr he is allowed to stay then I doubt it's as bad as they are saying in the article.  Either way, I bet he misses atleast the first game of the year, maybe more

UNL does have this program, but it's only is available for the regular school year. They don't offer it during the summer semesters.

[FBWillie]

FTR, if anyone cares; I don't think he should lose the entire season.  Anyone saying that probably isn't being serious.
My opinion of how his actions should be punished:

1 game for the assault
2 games for the DUI
and an extra game for being such a dumbass to do them both within a month of eachother.

4 games. Back in time for conferance play and it sets an example that the program won't tolerate behavior like this.

Murphy got 4 games because he let someone buy him a used junker.

[steve dave]

Clayton got 1 game for driving off while someone was trying to give him a parking ticket.  Didn't punch a girl or anything!

Only Cornhole fans:  When they have thugs, it's no big deal.   Somebody else on another team gets into a little trouble, and the sanctimonious Cornhole nation pisses their pants if the kid ever sees the field again.

Kid de-commits from NU to some other school, they piss and moan about honoring commitments . . . another kid de-commits from a school for NU, that kid saw the light.   

[catinthehat]

what if purify was just a regular student?  would you kick him out of college, susopend him from class?  If your a judge and you get a dui do you lose your job?  what if your a famous actor, do you still get to act in movies?  seems to me, ksu fans want purify more harshly penalized than anyopne else is for the same crime, god, I wonder why.

and yes, it's to bad that some people get drunk, drive and kill people.  However last time I checked this is america and you get get punished for the crime you commit, not the crime you could have commited or some others have commited. 

anyone who wants to call cally a win at all cost coach or whatever should really look at his history.  Countless starters at NU have been kicked off the team, guys we really could have used,  atleast one of them, more crucial to the team then purify is this year.   

and by the way.  your rb wasn't suspended for not getting a 3.0, that is stupid, can't believe somebody believes it.  he was suspended because he is damn near flunking out of college and really screwed up over the summer in his summer classes.
