Queef Gabbert?

Speaking of Gabbert, Chase Daniel was seen in a NJ Hooters putting ghost pepper sauce on his nose fruit.

Who was the QB that decommitted from us and went to play for Ron Prince at KSucks?

Josh Freeman.

Then Joe Ganz had some bizarre made-up story about them nearly getting in a fight.

Which apparently was true and cost us Freeman.

How'd I miss this? Never heard this story.

Ganz told it during a radio talk show as I recall. I remember it being verified by some of his former teammates. I liked the baller way Ganz played but he's an ass Freeman might have been a Husker if not for Ganz and like him or not, he was a better college QB.

I'm trying to find the original audio of him on "The Bottom Line" radio show talking about it, but it's hard to find. Here's a post from another forum that summarizes it.

Joe Ganz has joined the OWH's online radio show The Bottom Line, as a co-host. Yesterday, he had a funny story about the real reason why Josh Freeman de-committed from NU and went to Kansas State.

Freeman was on his recruiting visit early in the season in 2006. Joe Ganz got in a game during mop-up duty and ended up throwing a TD pass. Later that night, Ganz, Nate Swift, and their housemates hosted a party at their house. Freeman and his dad showed up at this party and were just hanging out. The guys were watching highlights from the Lincoln TV station, and the TD pass by Ganz was shown. Freeman made a comment like "well, that guy won't be throwing any more TD's when I show up here". Ganz heard it, might have been a little drunk, and flipped out. He got in Freeman's face and was ready to knock him out. Freeman was eventually told to leave the party, and later the next week he changed his commitment to Kansas State.

I remember that the Ganz's tone of voice and omission of in-between details sounded really odd. Coupled with the fact that he mixed up dates.

Was he though?

Damn, that's crazy but definitely sounds like college dudes. This is the kind of behind-the-scenes stuff that goes on in a program that us fans never hear about at the time. Like, there's probably two guys on defense right now that hate each other and we have no idea. It can effect on the field stuff.

Good enough to get drafted. KSU won a lot of games with him.

Better NFL potential perhaps, but better college QB? Absolutely not. In fact, Kansas State lost more than they won with him and their coach got fired as a result. Lol

Their coach got fired because he was a flake and awful coach. Freeman got drafted. Ganz did not.

You said Freeman was the better college QB

Ganz vs Freeman (2006-2008):

Completion %: 65.1 to 59.1 Ganz
TD/Int: 44/18 to 44/34 Ganz
QB rating: 157.4 to 124.7 Ganz
Running: 115 for 341 (3.0) to 214 for 343 (1.6) Ganz

Freeman started 3 years at KSucks
2006 7-6
2007 5-7
2008 5-7
Ganz started some in Callahan’s disastrous final season before being 9-4 as the starter in 2008. This included a Bowl win over Dabo Swiney’s Clemson squad.

Ganz was definitely the better college QB

They should erect a statue of him. This is the stuff of fantasy these days.
