The Bubba Starling Thread

Why is everyone so eager to have this thread locked? It's not like we have too many things to talk about.

I just thought that would be a funny way to end this Homeric thread. For the next two and 1/2 weeks (two and 1/2 weeks!) this is as good a topic to discuss as any.

 
Congratulations 2 Bubba! Goodluck brother!

For all the talk by "TMagic" earlier in this thread about how badly the program was "used" by Bubba in this situation, I have yet to see anything from any player or coach that isn't fully supportive of Bubba and his decision. Seems like a lot of projecting going on.

 
To nobody's surprise, Bubba signed with the Royals 5 minutes before deadline. Signing bonus was 7.5 million over 3 years. Now that he is no longer a college football and baseball player these are my thoughts. As a football player and quarterback first, he would never have reached his full potential as a baseball player and maybe never as a football player. Baseball and football players do most of their developing in the off season, i.e, summer college baseball or 7 on 7, fall ball, spring practice. Bubba would never have those opportunities and would have been an above average player in both sports but well below his potential. JMO

let it go... there is nothing that says if he wants to go to college if MLB doesn't work out that he will come to NU. They might not even need or want him by then.

no stick up there, cuz that would hurt alot ;) :lol: , but grown tired of the next coming of QB Jesus to Nebraska saga. Bubba watch '11 is over, 2 weeks to game time, let's roll! :koolaid2:

 
Well I assume, I know what it makes of me, not seeing any exploding congrats messages, that Bubba did exactly what he planned to do from day one. Take care of himself and his family. Making a living or playing game, for a few that is a choice, but most put family and security ahead of fun.

Glad he got what what he wanted. Time to move on to another off season topic.
