Purify's girlfriend killed in crash
by Brian Christopherson, Lincoln Journal Star

Another tragedy has befallen Husker football player Maurice Purify. The senior receiver's girlfriend, Reia Shapiro, died in a weekend automobile accident in the Los Angeles area, Purify said Monday.

Shapiro was 20. Purify said the two had dated on and off for several years.

She was a graduate of South Fork High School in Miranda, California, about 55 miles from Purify's hometown of Eureka.

According to the Pasadena City College web site, the one-car accident occurred Saturday morning. Shapiro reportedly lost control of her vehicle on the 210 Freeway in Pasadena. No one else was injured.

Shapiro's father, Robert, owned a restaurant, and she had five siblings.

She also was a good basketball player. Shapiro played for Pasadena City College last season and, according to the web site, was hopeful of playing for the team again.

Purify said he didn't yet know his status for this week's game against Missouri.

"I don't know if I'm going to go back home or not," he said.

It has been a tragedy-filled couple of months for Purify.

After coming back from some offseason issues to earn his teammates' and coaches' respect, his brother Ronald Spears was shot and killed on August 22 at the age of 29.

Spears was killed when a stranger he was giving a ride to reportedly pulled a gun on him and demanded money.

Spears tried to knock the gun away and run from the car, but was shot in the back.

"Hopefully, he's with me and will help me make those plays I wouldn't be able to make," Purify said after the shooting.

Purify is second on the team this year in receptions, with 19 catches for 268 yards.

A fan favorite for his big-play capabilities, he leapt high in the air to catch the game-winning touchdown pass in the final seconds of last year's game at Texas A&M.

He followed that this year with another game-winning catch, scoring a touchdown in the late minutes of a comeback victory against Ball State.

That guy better show up in Columbia ready or get him outta Lincoln. He's not a high character guy in the first place, if he can't suit up, show him the door.

While this particular incident had nothing to do with Mo's actions, several of his problems he has had in his very short stay in Lincoln have been self created. While this young ladies death is tragic, Mo Purify is at the end of the rope in Lincoln.

Yet another person who thinks Dman is a douchebag. Yet he thinks he's winning exchanges....

Have I mentioned that you can't spell DELUSIONAL MORON without D-M-A-N?

After acknowledging that he was desperate, Dwight said "people will resort to saying things they know aren't true when they are desperate." That about sums it up!

I can't mention anything more about you V. I've taken liberty to shout out your weaknesses over and over and over and you still call me delusional and pal around with Legless. I even (eerily) brought up your gambling woes simultaneously as you were offering me a 10k bet. Stop before I predict your entire life.

You predicted that I gamble, when I've made dozens of references on here to placing bets, going to Vegas, etc. Wow!! Are you Nostradamus?

More like NostraDUMBASS....

Anyways, let me ask you a question, and give me a serious answer.

Do you think you're delusional?

dwight or dman as he's affectionately referred to, is quite possible the biggest moron to ever post on a message board. he lacks the concept of reality and therefore continues to post. it used to be entertaining, now it's just sad.

dwight, refuting reality one post at a time.

Yes, I know it happened. I called it eerie. But not unpredictable.

I can predict that you'll type something to embarrass yourself again. Just watch....

Logan, why do you continue to rant my way hoping I will heed anything you say...stop.
Vranged, quit drinking, gambling & cheating on your wife and everything else will just fall into place.

How's that for embarrassing?

Never cheated on my wife. Will continue to drink and gamble and make a complete fool out of you, daily. It's what I do.

From time-to-time she checks out the carnage. She is generally not impressed.
