EZ-E Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 Anyone else excited about Mr. Rome coming to NU? He'll be here in January. Looking forward to seeing him play in the Red/White game. I have a feeling he'll be making a HUGE impact in the next few years. He seems like he has a good attitude and is willing to learn and grow. I see BIG things for this kid's future under the Pelini Administration. As mentioned above, don't forget to check out his videos. http://chaserome.com/chaserome/Videos.html I'm stoked about this kid. I think this kid will be a beast. Plus, I love the fact that we got him right out of Pinkel's backyard. I hear ya. I remember reading an interview shortly after he committed to NU saying that he hopes to play in the NFL and felt that the Pelini Bros. could help him get there. He seems like a goal-oriented kid, which is a plus. Jay Guy said the exact same thing. I love the fact that they are both going to be on campus in January. This will add to the competition.

zoogs Posted December 23, 2009 Share Posted December 23, 2009 "Getting to the NFL" is a very effective, if somewhat illusion-based, sell. I'm glad we got these guys, though. It's true, they do have that chance. Link to comment
AngryHusker88 Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Chase Rome is the man. He will do to Gabbert Jr what Suh did to Big Gabbert Link to comment
Nexus Posted December 27, 2009 Share Posted December 27, 2009 Chase Rome is the man. He will do to Gabbert Jr what Suh did to Big Gabbert I think Rome's chances of playing against Big Gabbert is far greater than playing against Lil' Gabbert. By the sounds of it, some MU fans don't think Lil' Gabbert will beat out James Franklin for the starting spot after Big Gabbert leaves the program. Link to comment

By the sounds of it, some MU fans don't think Lil' Gabbert will beat out James Franklin for the starting spot after Big Gabbert leaves the program. He's a very bright kid for his age, and the fact that he's moving onto campus tomorrow certainly helps his chances of contributing immediately. He was also very mature, humble yet confident, as well as funny in the interview he did with 1620. If I could give him one piece of advice, it would be to turn down his radio. 1/6, Segment 12 Link to comment

He should excel under the Pelini Administration. Link to comment

HuskerBruin Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 On a plane flight from St. Louis to CA last month I was seated next to a high school senior from Columbia, MO. We got to talking and I found out he was a huge Mizzou football fan. I told him that Nebraska had a commit from Columbia named Chase Rome and he immediately jumped in and said, "Oh yeah, that guy is an absolute beast. Our high schools are rivals and he single-handedly beat my school, playing both offense and defense. Everyone in town was so pissed when the best player in Columbia decided to play for Nebraska." I couldn't stop smiling the rest of the flight. I had totally forgotten that Rome played offense too, but then I went back and watched his film and sure enough, there he was playing DE and QB! Maybe our coaches will find a use for him in goal line situations in the next few years. Link to comment

WVhuskerXX Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 That really is a great story Link to comment
Minnesota_husker Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I wonder if Romes family will be treated like McNeils was last year. Link to comment
HuskerBruin Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 I wonder if Romes family will be treated like McNeils was last year. Good question. I hadn't thought of that. I hope not, but I would imagine it would be considered much worse for a kid from Columbia to go to NU than a kid from St. Louis. Link to comment

WVhuskerXX Posted January 7, 2010 Share Posted January 7, 2010 They were just treated poorly by the Mizzou fans during the game Link to comment

They play in Lincoln this year, Mizzwho won't have any fans left the year after that, nothing to worry about Link to comment
