.... sorry... can’t get excited about that... hope that does not make me a bad person
Wait! Nate Gerry is in the Super Bowl?
- Thread starter spartanhusker
- Start date
Maybe because Nate Gerry tarnished his reputation a bit during his senior year here, in a way that reflected poorly on our program?

Because he quit on his teammates and coaches
Didn't go to class and couldn't play in bowl against Tennessee
And there you have it ... a big you know what to the university for his boy Bo
You mean the ‘meaningless’ games that coaches get fired about if they don’t make them and our program gets money from? Yeah, maybe that kind of meaningless
Well...yeah!
Do you think that the coaches care if Gerry plays in that game and ends up wrapping his leg around his head and can never make half a million in his first year in the NFL? Do you think Riley would have given him 500K if that happened?
Then why play? To me this was NOT a last minute deal... did he not quit going to class totally? He KNEW he was screwing the school in his own little way
Probably another one of those who should have transferred, he was butt hurt that bozo got fired
Well, you play to get a job...which he did.
Coaches bitch about the one and dones in college basketball...but you go to college to put yourself into position to get a good job...
I swear some of you guys just look for any reason to bitch about something.
I'm pretty sarcastic. I apologize if u take my posts as anti-NU or anything like that. I LOVE all things NU. I love our team and all who actively play or played for DONU.
Actually he was butt hurt that Nebraska hired such an inept coaching staff.
My question is with our famed academic dept, how do the coaches not know a star player, and team captain to boot, is not attending classes
He's just not a smart guy and then next year when he gets cut during training camp he'll come back to NU and expect to get the rest of his tuition paid free to finish his degree..Although I'm not sure he's smart enough to go back and finish his degree. I don't think Gerry can count on football sustaining him for the next 40 years.
I'm not saying he's not a high IQ guy just that sometimes really smart people make really stupid decisions and roll with them. He clearly made a really stupid decision that fall semester and did nothing to change it. Very disappointing and it's very disappointing that Riley's staff didn't suspend him during the season to get his attention. Obviously they were desperate for safeties and needed him to play for those last games of the season.

I probably wouldn't respect Riley either if I was Nate Gerry. Probably pretty hard to watch that cupcake "gee willy guys" coach destroy everything you worked for with a coach you loved.
Not saying it was the proper response, but I'm not gunna crucify a kid for an emotional response.

I really don't care about the the guy. When you crap on you team & can't attend 1 class in a semester, he's dead to me.
THIS!!!It's not his call to grade the Riley hire...or at least quit at the beginning and follow his leader to Youngstown
Interesting that people that don't care about him are posting a lot about him.
He was also said to be a staunch Pelini supporter (just couldn't let it go) and a cancer in the locker room.
And the best player on defense and basically the only reason NU had a chance to beat Wisconsin.
Agreed. Riley rolled with Bo's guys those first two years. I think the chemistry issues hurt the team. I think Riley figured he would win the guys over but it didn't happen.
OP starts out a thread with a half-hearted apology and the thread is derailed from the jump. Are players past redemption after they graduate from the team we're all a fan of? Can players mature past their senior year? I hope so.
Why is this even about Nebraska anymore? If a player doesn't fit neatly in a "atta boy box" once he graduates, our fans on this Board will dog him for his faults. What a waste of time. People are imperfect but not judged as such. I've got planks in both my eyes so I'm blind most of the time

You can say that about pretty much every game. In fact, is there a game Nebraska will ever play that is worth getting your leg wrapped around your head and lose half a million dollars?
Sort of...you need to do "enough" to get that paycheck. After that...screw it.
Like a lot of the one and done guys in college basketball...they stop going to class second semester and just ball...once their season is done they drop out of school to focus on the draft.
Actually.....it was his call to grade Riley. It was difficult for man for many players to do it in their first year as there was so much fake news put out about MR by fans, media, and the administration. By the time the players realized how bad it was some.....such as Gerry were into their Senior season without any non-penalty transfer options available.
IF he had taken care of business in the classroom he could have grad transferred. There is absolutely no reason he couldn't have taken summer classes and graduated after his junior year. I suspect he was on the "6 year plan" though.
