kramer Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Talking trash “I think the coaches here wanted to find a junior-college tight end, and they found me,” Prater said. “I feel I have a chance. If I don’t play this year, that’s all right. But I sure would love to go into Memorial Stadium (K-State plays Nov. 12 at Nebraska) and show the fans what they missed.” Look out. Quote Link to comment
NamelessHusker Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 So because Nebraska didn't show him any attention, he thinks all of a sudden that just because he's a Nebraska kid, then he automatically gets a scholarship offer? Let's see..fill your roster with a guy like prater or wait 1 more year and possibly land guys like 4 star Konrad Reuland, Jordan McMichael, and Mike Mcneil? Decisions...decisions..

RedCountry Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Did anyone read this article?? I dont blame the guy one bit for being a little fired up about the deal. Shame on all the loser scumbags who sent him a "traitor" letter. GET A LIFE Quote Link to comment

cubhusker23 Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 I've never even heard to the guy, maybe he should hold the trash talk until he actually gets to play. Quote Link to comment

RedCountry Posted August 23, 2005 Share Posted August 23, 2005 Again I ask did ANYONE REALLY READ THIS ARTICLE?? What would you do if you were threatened and called a traitor by your hometown > albeit a small minority > for not going to a school that didnt even recruit you! And then you were interviewed and asked leading questions about if you were excited about playing at Nebraska or not.. What do you expect him to say?! Show me any quote in the atricle where he calls someone out or is being arrogant. Quote Link to comment
rawhide Posted August 24, 2005 Share Posted August 24, 2005 That is not an isolated case. Those recruits that waffled after FS was let go took some heat also. The small minded people doing that are a tiny minority of the fan base and most of their dogs probably arent barking. I wouldnt be surprised if every school had examples of that kind of behavior going on if a "favorite son" left the state for a rival college. Considering the media overload kids get starting while they still wear diapers maybe HS coaches should hold classes on how to handle the media. IMO GBR p.s. I quit signing up for all the newspaper sites. Email overload should be covered under state workers comp Quote Link to comment
