Some posters to Nebraska football-related message boards are partially blaming quarterback Harrison Beck's departure from the Huskers on comments made by Beck's mother that were published by Lincoln Journal-Star reporter Steve Sipple.
Sipple responded with a posting of his own on the Journal-Star's Nebraska-football related blog, Life in the Red:
1. Harrison's mother, in our Saturday interview for Sunday's story, never once indicated she wanted to go "off the record" and never once said she didn't want anything printed.
2. It also should be made clear that I didn't print everything she said -- not even close -- nor did I have to coax her to talk.
What we tried to do with the article was use the quotes that best summed up why Harrison wasn't at practice and ones that showed the degree of the mom's (and perhaps Harrison's) frustration.
His stepfather didn't wish to be quoted and wasn't.
Of course, I understand if not everyone agrees on this matter.

It's not Sip's fault that his mom isn't living in reality. If you are talking to a media member, be it print or whatever, you need to watch your tongue. I'm not saying Sip is a bad guy, because I don't think he is, but you never know when something will slip
I meant Beck's mom, by the way, not Sip's.
