Yup, read that and referred to it, when "the troubles" occurred. Pooh poohed a bit. That's OK.

The sad fact is to be competitive in college football these days, you have to look at kids you otherwise might not. Some of them are just bad citizens.
One of the advantages of our last natty having been so long ago is that we Husker fans can look back with self-righteous pride and proclaim that our championship kids were all choir boys.

As in the movie, “The Choir Boys,” or real choir boys?
Yeah, Johnny Rodgers, Christian Peter, Lawrence Phillips to name a few, all choir boys.One of the advantages of our last natty having been so long ago is that we Husker fans can look back with self-righteous pride and proclaim that our championship kids were all choir boys.
Second, I never thought I would see NU fans so ready to throw a player under the bus. He had a disagreement with another player for Christ sakes. Back in the NC days, players robbed gas stations, beat up women, and bit women on the crotch in bars and the fans said let the coaches handle it, he is not that bad a kid. I would bet that in the NC times, the crime that got MW tossed from the team would have been handled with a few trips up the stadium stairs.
I think you are 100% correct. Internet and phones ensure that whenever something happens, it travels across the world in a heartbeat.

We all knew, we juat didn't want to admit it.
not sure its so much as throw under the bus , as it is people saying good riddance, before something happens with him that goes on the espin every 15 mins cycle of "NEBRASKA " leading the segment.
he is gone and after things like this come out we know why
Actually. I'd rather not. Those vastly overpaid clowns with 3rd grade education and 2nd grade grasp of the facts can kneel to their little hearts desire. But I won't be watching it.
Looks like Mo has resurfaced. Hope he can get his life headed in the right direction and can take advantage of the second chance. He is really going to to have to want it as he is not going to have all of the luxuries he had at Nebraska. Will be interesting if he plays a year and then tries to hit the portal to get back to a D1 school.

Ex-Nebraska RB Maurice Washington transfers to Grambling, gets second chance after 2 years away from football
Grambling athletics director Trayvean Scott said Washington enrolled in the fall semester.
"Mr. Washington is successfully completing his misdemeanor probation, has performed admirably academically, and has been a model student-athlete throughout his time as a student at GSU," Scott told the News-Star. "GSU has not received any information that justifies denying Mr. Washington as a student at GSU, an opportunity to realize his dream of playing college football."
"GSU will continue to support Mr. Washington on and off the field as he continues his journey as a Grambling State University Tiger," Scott said.

Good for Mo. Always liked him and was hoping he could some how remain a HUSKER. Wish him nothing but the best.
Good on him! He is going to be a special player for them. It was too bad he was so immature when he was here. He could have a been a great player for Nebraska. I wish MoWa all the best going forward.
This link was posted in the "Where are the now?" thread but I wanted to add some video highlights. Mo was immature and at the end he was a cancer to the team but he is sure is talented. I hope he got his issues straightened out and can make something of himself and his talents.
Nebraska transfer Maurice Washington lifts Grambling football
“Maurice is special. I think we all knew that,” Jackson said. “When he’s healthy at practice and focused, he’s as good as anybody. He had a tremendous game today.”
Washington finished with 201 yards on just 10 carries, averaging 20.1 yards per tote.

Fits right into the Southern conference. Not disciplined enough for FBS, but not short on athletic talent. Freelancing and playground football isn't just expected, its celebrated. And Grambling State has etched their path by being just a little more disciplined than other teams in the conference, enough so that even 2nd place gets a garaunteed bowl.
