eeek, i didn't know that part of the Lawrence Phillips story.  what was she doing in Scott Frost's apartment, did she live there?

She broke up with Lawrence Phillips and started dating Frost.

I've never read the story of what happened, I just knew he assaulted a woman. Damn, that's even more psychotic than I thought  :sdeek:

You have to love the writers always talk about the loopholes and advantages nubb used to have over most of the Big 8/college football and then mourn them.

Like Prop 48, over-recruiting (I think), taking advantage of being a marquee name when visibility was hard to come by for other teams in the plains/Midwest footprint; even weight training and facilities.

It’s like, “Well if big red could just use their big name to stockpile all the recruits, get guys in that cant go other places, have our guys lift weights when no one else does, then pump our guys full of steroids when other teams start lifting — and turn a blind eye when our dudes roid rage on people then we’d be back in no time.”
If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

He doesn't mention Lawrence Phillips by name, but he doesn't need to. In 1995, Phillips, who was the Huskers' star running back, was arrested on assault charges and accused of throwing his ex-girlfriend to the bathroom floor, then dragging her down three flights of stairs. Although Osborne initially dismissed Phillips from the team, he was reinstated after a six-game suspension, then played out the 1995 season, including the victorious championship game. (It was Frost's apartment that Phillips allegedly broke into to get to his ex-girlfriend.)

Why didn't they mention that it was Scott Frost's apartment he broke into to assault his ex gf and that Frost watched the whole thing without trying to stop him?

Quote
Hours after the team returned from East Lansing on September 10, 1995, Phillips broke into backup quarterback Scott Frost's apartment by climbing the outside of the building to the third floor and entering through some sliding doors. He then assaulted his ex-girlfriend, basketball player Kate McEwen. Phillips dragged McEwen out of the apartment by the hair and down three flights of stairs before smashing her head into a mailbox. Phillips was subsequently arrested, and eventually suspended by head coach Tom Osborne. The case became a source of controversy and media attention, with the perception that Frost had not even tried to protect McEwen and that Osborne was coddling a star player by not kicking Phillips off the team permanently. Osborne walked out on a press conference when asked, "If one of your players had roughed up a member of your family and had dragged her down a flight of steps, would you have reinstated that player to the team?"[8] Outraged Nebraska faculty proposed that any student convicted of a violent crime be prohibited from representing the university on the football field.[9] Osborne defended the decision, saying that abandoning Phillips might do more harm than good, stating the best way to help Phillips was within the structured environment of the football program. Osborne stated, "I felt the only thing I could put in a place that would keep him on track was football, because that was probably the only consistent organizing factor in his life."[10] After a six-game suspension, Osborne reinstated Phillips for the Iowa State game,[11] although touted freshman Ahman Green continued to start. Phillips also played against Kansas and Oklahoma.

I have had this entire story told to me by the girl in this story.

That written account pretty much matches up with the story that I heard.  What's not in the story is that she still kept dating Frost after that incident, and was for about the next year or so after.  So, it shows that Scott Frost is an excellent decision maker.  He chose to not try and stop Lawrence Phillips (would have been bad for his health), AND got to keep the girl.

Does Scott Frost lead Nebraska to a national title(split) in 1997 if his throwing hand was permanently deformed from trying to stop Lawrence Phillips from beating up his GF?

Probably not...and if he doesn't win a natty at corn aggie than he is just another former corn aggie player selling home/life/auto insurance in Omaha.

As cowardly as his decision was it was probably the correct one for his career.

Can you confirm that Scott hid in the closet while phillips was breaking into the apartment? If not what was he doing during the incident?

We are now in the Big 10 and we will be dominate!  How is that working out?  3 years in a row without a bowl game.  Wow.

A once proud program lost its recruiting ground and young players realized NU is in Nebraska.
