Nebraska Cornhuskers running back Maurice Washington might be in a shade of hot water.

According to Omaha.com, Washington was cited on misdemeanor suspicion of possessing drug paraphernalia early Tuesday. There was allegedly marijuana residue in a pipe found in his dorm.

You just hate to see it! What type of program is Scott Frost and all the boosters supporting him running down in Lincoln?

Obviously, Washington is innocent until proven guilty, but these are the last kind of stories Nebraska wants out there. (RELATED: Have I Forced The Wisconsin Vs. Nebraska Football Game To Get Scheduled For Primetime?)

ESPN is writing glowing pieces about Wisconsin phenom Graham Mertz at the same time as Cornhuskers fans having to read about a player cited for something allegedly involving drugs.

Clearly, these programs are just worlds apart.

If Scott Frost had any pride in the product he’s building, he’d probably just cancel the season until this entire matter was resolved. You can’t play football on Saturdays if you can’t even stop your players from allegedly breaking the law.

For a program that once upon a time had so much pride, you just have to wonder how it’s fallen so hard and fast.

Just a couple weeks ago, Nebraska fans were trying to convince me they were coming for my Badgers. I think it’s safe to say they’re less than 100% focused on winning.

Best of luck to Washington as he does his beat to beat the charge. Don’t get me wrong. I’m cheering for him. I want him to walk a free man because I don’t want there to be any excuses when we smack Nebraska all over the field. No excuses at all!

I’m also just saying maybe we should shut down the Nebraska program until we figure out a way to fix what Scott Frost has clearly broken.

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
