[> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Osborne Author: An Observer [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 11:35:23 04/18/24 Thu I have never heard the allegations of steroid abuse, but it's true that Nebraska was the first major college program to fully embrace strength and conditioning as an art and science. Nebraska's offensive line was huge, strong and quick. Besides Boyd Epley's revolutionary training techniques, were there steroids involved? It's a messy business. Osborne also received some criticism for the light touch he took in disciplining Lawrence Phillips after Phillips demonstrated repeatedly that he had serious issues with impulsivity and anger management, culminating in alleged assault on his Husker volleyball girlfriend. Would a football player of less ability been treated so gingerly? It's a messy business. Of course, elsewhere on this board we are debating how aggressively we Ivies should pursue NIL collectives so that we can keep promising players like Dingle, Mack, Perkins, Wolf and Nana from transferring out. I have no interest in playing that game. Do you know why? It's a messy business. Once you're in that quagmire, you had better be prepared to bring it. And I don't wanna.

[> [> [> [> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Osborne Author: Rufus T [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 12:17:35 04/18/24 Thu When the Nebraska Cornhuskers were on their tear in the mid-1990s under Osborne, they had players credibly accused of rape, players getting DUIs and assaulting women, and players literally charged with murder. Tom Osborne essentially hid the gun that was allegedly used in the commission of a felony. TOM OSBORNE HID THE GUN. Five words that seem utterly insane when you type them out. As far as steroid usage.....google Dave Rimington and Dan Steinkuhler. Two notorious users who won Outland trophies under Osborne

Additional evidence of this unbridled consumption came from a number of journalistic studies involving players Dean Steinkuhler (1961), Dave Rimington (1960), Danny Noonan (1965), Neil Smith (1966) and Lawrence Pete (1966), something they also later admitted."
