any word on Burkhead?

Bo expanded on his earlier statement:

Burkhead return?: Pelini shed some positive light on Nebraska’s running back situation Tuesday when he said true freshman Rex Burkhead could return in time for the Huskers’ final game at Colorado. “Obviously, for sure for the bowl game,” Pelini said.

Bo better not 'eff around with this kid. If we get into a bowl, that should be the earliest that Rex plays. All along it has been said that he would likely be ready by early to mid December.

Absolutely no reason to rush this kid like they did with Spano just to help him fix our depth problems.

For once we need to be smart and play it safe with these injuries. Especially a kid with such a bright future like Rex has.

Sometimes other "fans" can be a real drain on that occuring ... talk about "Debbie Downers" ... and I'm a pessimist after many frustrating losses like V-Tech, TT and ISU this year.

What exactly do you call it when you start a thread putting people down and putting words in their mouth saying that they claimed his career was over, when nobody made such claims? As far as I can see, you are doing the exact same thing you are calling out.

Friend,

You should read this thread ... read the thread I put a link to ... then follow me on my posts. I said what I said there because there's seems to be quite a few people that go down the road you just went down ... Thus, I put what I said out there ... so I wouldn't be accused of that either.

Perhaps we disagree ... but the thread I posted a link to does have many people "claiming/speculating" that his season was over ... as I see it.

I'll let my previous posting, this current post and my future posts speak for themselves.

All the best to you,

SheepdogMark

EZ-E,

Here's the thread I was referring to ... http://www.huskerboard.com/forums/index.ph...hl=rex+burkhead

As a "general comment" ... Always funny how those who have all the solutions to the Huskers problems are also the ones who create "worst case scenario's".

Enjoy the read ... just reporting ... you decide after you read the thread.

And by the way, I'm not tryint to stir up "crap" ... it does get frustrating sometimes with all "tudes" here and the "no it all" folks.

PS. I've followed Rex here in Dallas and was a big fan of us recruiting him ... so I follow his threads pretty close and "friended" him on Facebook.

MUTiger, it's as simple as "they are different coaches."

Belichick is famous for being closed-mouthed about everything inside the Patsies locker room. Bo is, apparently, borrowing a page from that book.

It sucks, but there's not much we can do about it. None of us like it, either.

He's also famous for being closed-mouthed about taping other teams practices as well.

 
Rex will be back.

Given these coaches and what happened to Helu,

I sure as hell don't want him back until he is fully healed.

If that is next year, so be it.

Just a little tip...unless it comes from IBLEEDRED ( :sarcasm ), it might not be true. Now the injury type/severity has never really been known so it leaves alot to be debated. I really hope its true but I would say that not to rush anything and let rex get back to 100%.

You can take that to the bank... :snacks:
