And then things really got surreal.

In one of the last spectacles involving a young man who may best be known for what he didn’t do with his opportunities, Collins invited reporters to a scattershot press conference in jail.

He referred to Douglas County District Judge Gary Randall’s sentence of life plus 90 to 110 years as “life plus Star Trek years.” He said prosecutors used a couple of Sammy “the Bull” Gravanos against him as if he were John Gotti.

He said the judge violated his rights by not sequestering the jury. And he said it was a “good possibility” that the drug gangs in California “got” to the jurors deciding his fate.

Referring to himself in third person, he called his sparsely attended trial “a very high-profile case” — “right under” the trial of Roy Ellis in the death of 12-year-old Amber Harris.

He reiterated his stance that he’s no snitch — saying that was part of the reason he left the Nebraska football team as a senior. Collins, a running back, said he took the fall rather than snitch about what he now claims were $1,000-a-month payments from boosters.

Is this guy using what he is selling or what? And we RECRUITED him?

Yes, and we also RECRUITED Lawrence Phillips, Johnny the Jet Rogers, Scott Baldwin, etc.

 
Considering what has happened with a couple of guys that have worn #1 for the Huskers, would it be wise to maybe keep that number on the shelf for while?

Every time I see the #1 on the field I think of those two worthless humans. I can't be alone on that. I sure as hell wouldn't want to be the young man that comes to Lincoln and they tell him that he get lucky #1.

Just a thought!

SUPERBUNNY

We owe those Vols a pat on the back. Without their shenanigans, Thunder would be the lead story in college football right now.

Don't worry I'm sure ABC will find time to squeez in a little history on the life and times of Thunder Collins Saturday on national T.V.

Exactly. The best players tend to not be the best people in the real world-just look at the FSU Criminals & Miami. Coaches recruit talent, not choir boys.

Oh yeah-most of them get paid one way or another. Keep denying it all you want if you don't believe that.

There frippend drug dealers/gangsters, the only sympathy deserved is to Nebraska for having the scum bag connected with it.

It happens every day of the week numerous times out here. This gang drug crap is going to destroy this country.

I wish he would have gotten the needle or the chair or what ever Nebraska does. Now we pay to feed him, keep in a lovely air conditioned cell, educate him and give him hundreds of opportunities to appeal the case, wasting more tax payers money.

We treat our criminals better than we treat our returning wounded service men. They are on their own with their families taking care of them.

What a useless peice of crap.

Oh please no we f'ing don't. Go try spending even a day in prison and tell me how much cushy and air conditioned and awesome it is.

And don't act like executing him is somehow a better option
