Huskerpapa Posted December 29, 2013 Report Posted December 29, 2013 ...this is the sort of thing that you tend to see when you do not have strong senior leadership. Time for Ray to step up and step in along with the other leaders. Quote
NeeandMe Posted December 30, 2013 Report Posted December 30, 2013 If I'd known I could read this much preaching on Husker Hoops Central I would've skipped church this morning. I wasn't planning to comment on this thread until I started to read the broken locker room stuff. Is there potential trouble brewing? Sure. But there's almost always "potential trouble" in every program, and it usually turns out fine. We know Biggs made a bad decision with the DUI. Not condoning it, but it's a decision millions make every year and fortunately/unfortunately depending on how you look at it, he got caught. He did his "time" for the program and was welcomed back. We know he was late for a film session. For all we know, he dozed off studying and woke up late. A bad mistake that was punished with a one game suspension. We know he hasn't lived up to much of the hype. This is his first year in DI, most jucos - even with a RS year - take til the start of conference play to hit their stride. Most of the stuff people are freaking out about is speculation. If you look at the facts and only the facts, there really isn't a whole lot to see here. And can we stop with the Webster going overseas to play ball. The kid's 18 (I'm guessing) and has played 12 games in a new country. At least wait til the offseason for that kind of speculation. Wow. This was always going to be a long process. Sit back, watch a 12 win season, and enjoy the subtle things that point to a changing program. tcp, a0t0w0 and hhcmatt 2 1 Quote
hskr4life Posted December 30, 2013 Report Posted December 30, 2013 Fact is he let his team down for the second time this year... And its his 1st year. A DUI is a heck of a lot worse than showing up late for film. I don't care how many people do it... He shouldn't of. Tai had talked about staying overseas before he came here. Some here do have inside or more info than comes to light. Not saying everything is right but speculation is sometimes right as well. We all know its a long process and we see the good signs... But you can't ignore rumors all the time because sometimes they turn out to be true. Quote

I'm guilty of getting caught up in rumors all the time involving the football team. I guess I would just hope as Nebrasketball fans, everyone would understand this deal is not going to be a smooth ride and there's no reason to freak out after a couple bad games and one rumor. Quote

hhcdave Posted December 30, 2013 Report Posted December 30, 2013 I don't see any possible way that Webster is going to leave to go pro in Europe. His goal has been very simple. play in the NBA. One bad semester or year aint gonna change that. Quote

One bad semester or year aint gonna change that. I agree. I think Tai is pretty smart. He understands that there is going to be a learning curve. His shot looks good, he just has to get his mojo going and he will be a good one. Quote

Red Rum Posted December 30, 2013 Report Posted December 30, 2013 All is well, Ole Whats-his-name tweeted Biggs will make the trip to Iowa. The sky isn't falling as far as this subject goes.....yet Quote
Swan88 Posted December 30, 2013 Report Posted December 30, 2013 One of the great benefits (sarcasm intended) to be derived from reading sports message boards like this is an increased level of stress and increased blood pressure over potential problems and potential benefits for a sports team . . . that never materialize. Over the holiday season we've collectively agonized and/or thrilled over the prospect of Hawkins transferring to A&M, Fuller not traveling with the team to Cincinnati, Biggs not traveling to Cincinnati, Webster going pro, someone else leaving Nebrasketball, Agau transferring back home, a kid from Utah St. transferring here, a kid from Georgetown transferring here--none of which materialized, other than the no-big-deal events of two guys not traveling to Cincinnati. But it's great entertainment and fun nonetheless . . . hhcmatt, trickey, Silverbacked1 and 1 other 4 Quote

What ever are we going to do? Source: message boards. 49r 1 Quote
