I don’t think quitter is accurate, but even some of the toughest guys don’t always react to certain situations well. Roberto Duran was insanely tough, but we tend to focus on one really poor decision on his part. Crouch had 2 incidents some point towards; the leaving the team after Bobby got named starter, and his switching his acceptance of playing a new position. Both were seen as very immature behavior, and folks tend to remember them more than they maybe should.
It’s a strange time.
This thread was started as a discussion topic based off weather Bobby Newcombe had reconciled his hurt feelings towards Nebraska. It wasn’t long getting to the point of degrading Newcombe and/or crouch and hemhawing over fans holding instate talent above or below out of state talent. Also morphing into weather frank solich should still be the coach or if he was in over his head…… did miss anything?
Stripes or No Stripes on the pants?
All the fun?
Dare I mention Blackshirts?
Of course… hot topic!!
That's pretty much where I was going with my opening post.
Seems to me you accurately described how most Husker message board threads evolve.

The Solich question has been contemplated off and on. It’s a great forum question because there is no way of knowing what would have happened. My personal view is that the program would probably been better off, as compared to most of what followed, if Solich had not been fired and Bo was the defensive coordinator. But as he was following a legend, the window for success was very small.
Why is everything so black and white. The guy could both be a great option QB and a bit of a pre Madonna. Pointing that out is not being "upset". It is just saying as good as he was...he was not a saint. Very few people are.
