Mickey Arrested!

At this point, I think they need to literally burn down the football facilities and start over, from scratch.

I've made so many are we at rock bottom jokes this year and each time, someone comes up with something new. It really is amazing, in a terrible way.

It's just mind boggling the issues that plague this program. Unfreakin' believable.

I have one final comment in this thread. What happened in MJ's personal life was a clear indication he was not ready to lead the Husker Program. He showed poor judgement and immaturity in how he handled a crisis in his family life. Mickey's experience as interim head coach was no where near the pressure he would have felt in the permanent position in the Nebraska Fishbowl. I understand he took over a program in disarray, but he was never blamed for the bad and was always praised for the good. It was so easy in the post-game presser to make claims like "This one is on me, I've got to do better" knowing full well not one journalist in that room or one fan in the state of Nebraska was blaming him for the sh!tshow we were witnessing every week. Spin the calendar forward a year, MJ is now the head coach...based on how he handled the situation in his homelife, I don't think he is as calm and collected when the issues with the team are now his responsibility and his fault.

I am very thankful Trev went in another direction. JMO

I can’t agree with this more…I hit one year out of the Navy at a very stressful uptempo position and right now I just see patients and I love the banter. Deciding on if I want to jump back into the fire or just see patients and stay low profile. However, this is why I enjoy the patients, most are elderly and eager to talk and I love to talk and listen.

I did a Bone Density scan on an old woman the other day, she was 90 years old and sharp as a tac. Outlived 2 husbands! Just an awesome lady. (I don’t think she killed them) kidding.

She told me she’s planning to move back to her small town and just be around family. I said where? She said, Wahoo, NE and she knew some of my family there. (I truly believe in 6 degrees of separation after all my travels).

Then of course we talked Husker football and she was all over it…Right up to the current situation. This program has to get back on track. We talked about what we thought the REAL problems are…I won’t go into that because it will piss people off on here…But She was on it and I see it too.

A 90 y/o Woman laid out the problem…That’s something I pay attention too.

This latest situation just solidified what we were talking about. I’ll leave it at that.

I was so shocked, I had nothing to say or even think without saying to myself, wait till the facts come out. Just spent a day just being sad for Mickey and his family, Husker players.

Now my thoughts a day later. It sure looks like he punched her and pulled out some hair and put her phone in the toilet and then took off. Police and brother corroborate her story. Looks bad. The part about the phone made me think about more than the rest. Was he snapped with the pressure of what to do with his career? Was he drunk? ,in the middle of the day?
Things with the report shed some light. She says they were arguing about infidelity, and they have argued for years. Now the phone in the toilet. No need to read twitter for rumors. Maybe something simple like he found something on the phone. Divorce a spouse before an assault happens. Nothing more hurtful than being unfaithful. He would not be the first good man to lose his cool. So sad this happened. But I cannot defend him if he did the things police saw evidence of. But I'll let the facts come out in court. He has already paid a heavy price, innocent, guilty, or partially guilty.
Rhule cannot hold the WR spot open for him, and recruits and freshmen WR's will bail. Wow NU just can't maintain any momentum. We will lose many just because of this incident. I am sure some are disappointed they believed in Mickey and now lost respect, and hence the whole program. It is a sh!t show, cannot deny that.

Wasted keystrokes I know. I'm going to try this one more time.

It's not that you piss people off, though I tend to think that you enjoy doing that. When you signed up to post, you clicked (agreed to follow the TOS - Terms of Service). BHF's TOS states that there is nothing political, religious, overly negative and some other things as well.

BHF reasons are sound for this. Those discussions burn places like this to the ground.

I don't understand why this is so freakin' hard to grasp. BHF is Charlie's house, metaphorically speaking. Charlie is free to set the rules in this "house" -- if you don't like them, you leave and go to another house.

Just as an example, I have a sign on the door that leads to my studio. It plainly states that no political discussions will take place and if you are wearing any political stuff, you will not be allowed in my studio. Period, no discussion will be forthcoming. And yes, I have told people to leave their hat, campaign button, etc outside my door or I will not let them in. It's that simple. When I tell my customers that, they comply. My reasoning is simple. I want an atmosphere that is free of all that crap. I don't want to get into political discussions when I'm trying to do a fitting on someone. If they want to talk politics, they need to get a table at Tommy's or Lee's or any other restaurant in town. It will not happen in my studio.

It all comes down to the reliability of the witness whom obviously has reason to be protective and overtly prejudice in this situation. The truth may come out much different under closer examination. Honestly, I do not care at this point. Its impossible to coach if your house is not in order. Regardless of the truth, Mickey is not the right coach here. We've hired too much disorder in this already undisciplined landscape. And anyone that has paid attention can readily see the soap opera originates in this program's administration, and is not isolated with MJ's situation.

Uenth, good for you. Both wings of the bird still belong to the same bird. You cannot hide from the dialogue, but you can choose the venue for it. Right now you are doing more to push this into this venue than anyone else. So reading your bias into his words is a reflection on you at this point.

I wasn't the one pushing their political beliefs on this board so I fail to see how stressing the TOS makes me pushing the venue. There are many times I have resisted the urge to post back in kind, as have multiple other posters; but whatever floats your boat dude. Back to the original sad topic for those wishing to discuss it.
