Fuzzy Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 What kind of crap is ESPN trying to pull? Qouted " there’s that Heisman Trophy winner named Eric Crouch, but he was more of a runner anyway. Tommie Frazier, all he did was run the option and win national championships." http://espn.go.com/blog/big12/post/_/id/36...-not-unexpected I dont like that kind of talk about Frazier and Crouch, someone needs to give that editor a piece of some Husker @$$-whoppin' Still though good to see Lee has confidence in himself, makes me feel confident about Saturday.

kansas husker Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 I took that has more of a positive article about lee not a blast on fraiser or crouch espn talks down on us a lot but let's not read into it to much especialy when they are giving praise Quote Link to comment
JTrain Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 This isn't bad-mouthing anyone. It's just saying that Lee is a completely different type of QB (in a completely different type of offense) than the NU QB legends of the past. Quote Link to comment
Fuzzy Posted September 17, 2009 Author Share Posted September 17, 2009 I dont i guess i took it out of context. I just saw Tommy Frazier all he did was run the option and win national championship, makes it sound like anyone could have done that. Quote Link to comment
s.c. husker Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 All I use ESPn for is to watch football. They dislike Nebraska and thier analyist suck, about like my grammer, and are very misinformed so all the info I get on them is from this board. Quote Link to comment

Tiger of the Corn Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 I have two images of Eric Crouch burned in my memory. First image. His senior year against the Tigers. He ran something like 99 yards against our swiss cheese defense for a TD and left a few jock straps on the turf. That was good stuff for the Husker fan. Sad to see if you're a Tiger fan. Second image. High draft pick for the Rams in St. Louis. Rams coaches (who knew a thing or two and won a Super Bowl) wanted to make him a wide receiver because they knew he couldn't pass, but he had elusive speed. He takes a ball across the middle, gets plowed and then he quits. Had to give his signing bonus back. Quote Link to comment

Lots of potential, lots of ego, and lots of unwillingness to bend. He could have been a decent receiver, maybe even worked his way into a Wes Welker-type role, but he insisted on playing Quarterback in the NFL, and he is simply not an NFL QB. C'est la vie.

funhusker Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 I think putting one of these would not look very professional on an ESPN article. Do you also think your parents hate you because they made you eat vegatables? Quote Link to comment

C'est la vie. why is it that every time someone mentions a white receiver, they say that he could be a wes welker type receiver? there are other white receivers if that is how you are going to describe a guy...

I just saw Tommy Frazier all he did was run the option and win national championship, makes it sound like anyone could have done that. Berringer seemed to do just fine when #2 CU rolled into town in 94'. 3rd stringer Matt Turman did ok playing a decently ranked KState team. Frazier had a lot of weapons in his arsenol. Frazier was a great QB, but lets not forget about how great our OL and RB's were. Quote Link to comment
