The Bubba Starling Thread

[zoogs]

I am curious as to the final figure. A lot of mixed reports now. I suspect Bubba's lost leverage may mean he will ultimately fall a ways short of what he originally wanted. But perhaps the Royals in a good gesture stepped up to the plate anyway.

Who the f*** is Bubba Starling?

 

[ronsss]

sure a lot of money to give someone that has not played 1 minute of baseball in the pros, or farm clubs as far as that goes.....the rich have lots of money apparently....i could tell when bo was answering questions about babba, that he was not to hopefull about him playing

Bubba can send me 2k to go pig hunting with Ted Nugent.

It's the least he can do for a Husker fan that is beyond disappointment here it comes:

:sarcasm

Good luck to you Bubba

I think you're right, and I think that dream of $10 million went out the window the second he wasn't allowed to strap on pads. The "Lincoln Gambit" failed, in that respect.

Bubba to Royals and Archie Bradley to Diamondbacks. Sooners lose a QB too.

You mean there's another QB in the nation who was also drafted to play baseball, making a decision at the deadline too?



Another tidbit - Bradley reported to Sooners fall practice.

Just think - every time you go to Kauffman and pay $8 for a crappy beer, you're contributing to that contract. Which is why I don't go to pro venues.

Huskers.com put up this sweet highlight reel of Starling's career at NU. Pretty awesome.

lol, that's awesome.

Good luck Bubba, thanks for giving us a shot, can't blame you one bit for your decision.

 

[ronsss]

this guy is very unhappy we did not get bubba....if bubba was that good of a qb, we probably would have had him just 3 yrs before the pro grabbed him...i was hopoing he would do the john elway thing,,,but that does not happen much today

In related news Santico Panico is giving up his MLB dreams and returning to NU to finish his eligibility. So tonigh definitely is a wash. :LOLtartar

 

[BIGREDIOWAN]

Good luck to the kid.............GO HUSKERS!!!

 

[huskernumerouno]

Seriously, we might as well have another thirty page thread about the sun rising tomorrow. It ain't like this is any kind of surprise.
