Assistant Coach
Or maybe he was referring to the entire game, and not just that one action. He was on the field, you know.I agree that it's wrong to call him a liar. But what in particular are you talking about?I saw this clip last nite on the World Herald web site, and - if it is true - it's shocking to me. I'm just as surprised by some of the reactions I've seen posted on this board.
I think Daniel dealt with it inappropriately. The person who spit on him should be disciplined. He had a right to bring it to the attention of the coaching staffs, who then would hopefully have dealt with the matter privately. But then he goes and brings it out into public to shame our program. He made blanket statements about our team being dirty, and pretty much said that any comment made before the game, no matter how innocuous, was "disrespectful". He intended to rub salt into the wound. He wanted to take the actions of one person and extrapolate it to an entire team and fan base.
If you ask me, that's just as Bush League as spitting on somebody.
I know these are our Huskers, and we all dislike Chase Daniel, but come on! A Nebraska player spits on an opposing team player, gets called out, and we put all the focus on criticizing the guy who calls him out for dealing with it the 'wrong way'?!
A spade's a spade. That Nebraska player should man up, come out, admit his mistake and apologize. I wouldn't shed a tear if he were suspended for a game, because that is really bush league.
