Focus here. Two different incidents. Two different players. Only one involved a locked up gun and it wasn't the one involving Riley Washington.

You remain wrong. The gun TO stored was Tyrone Williams'. I'll await your response, dipshit
IIRC Tyrone Williams shot at the back of a car it was driving away, and he gave the gun to Osborne to hold onto while he found a lawyer – which Osborne said per NCAA rules he could only help by opening a yellow pages and running through the names with Tyrone. I believe Riley Washington who had sprinter speed Had problems at a convenience store. Abdul Muhammad had a bullet lodged in his butt that he picked up before he became player at Nebraska. He also caught a ball against florida st despite being hit so hard he lacerated a kidney
1. That is the difference between a real fan of the huskers and someone who is posing as a fan just to give us crap.
2. Osborne‘s behavior towards this troubled players was as a father towards a troubled son, accounting for NCAA rules at the time. It is hard to know how much his competitive drive to be the best interfered with his judgment sometimes, but it’s Clear that once he accepted a player into his program he treated them as if he was a member of his own family.
For example he wrote to Lawrence up until the time he died, he went to see Damien Peter’s (Notre Dame recruit, and brother of the notorious peters) in the hospital after he hurt his neck when his own coach (Coach “spittle”) didn’t. When a tight end shot himself in the head on one of the 80s teams, Osborne went to the hospital and was with the family.

Thanks for the biography. I had never heard of this Phillips guy. Too bad he didn't stick around longer so Scott Frost could've taken him under his wing.
That TE was Monte Engebritson and it happened just before the 1st game of the 83 season. It was a shame as he was really good!

Thanks for ruining the thread and shame on me for chiming in. This was about a freshman kicker that earned the starting kicker job and you chime in about lawerence Phillips next time I won’t take the bait
Monte used to do a football show on Kearney tv station about 5 years ago, and Brian Hiemer sometime in the early 80’s took his own life so I really don’t know who these clowns are talking about
Take it to the open scrolls dipshits! ( I wish )
Now back to our regularly scheduled programming…
Pretty cool that a homegrown true freshman won the job. Kid’s having a heck of year!
Only downside is he’s from Westside.

I don't know if you're trying to be funny, but that wasn't Monte. He died of cancer a few years ago. And the year of the event you are referencing is 1985 ... fk wipe
