    The Official Riley Nelson is a Badass Thread

    This is a thread for all things badass about Riley Nelson.

    I'll go first. The quote below. QBs just don't think like this. It's no wonder his teammates love him and follow his lead. With less than a week to go before Wazzu, I wanted to get this started before Riley goes for 100+ on the ground and 300+ through the air on his way to a Heisman contending season.




    "One thing that has always bugged me about the position I've played," Nelson said, "is for some reason, we get special treatment. We have different colored jerseys at practice. If a defensive lineman bumps into you during an 11-on-11 drill, he gets his butt chewed and sometimes kicked out of practice. That always bugs me, because we're football players, too. On Saturdays, we don't get special treatment, so why during practice? I had to push and I had to be stubborn for the coaches to let me be just another guy. I think my teammates responded well to that."
    I hope I'm the first to break the story when he bites a cobra to death. :rockon1:

    I am a fan of Riley and his attitude. If he gets banged up running like a full back, I will still be a fan of a dumb Riley.

      Love it. I don't expect much out of him statistically, but I Think he will bring some Tebowesque positive mojo.

        Finally!

        Whoops. I misread. I thought this was the "Riley Nelson is a bad quarterback" thread.

          I love Riley's attitude. So does the team judging by their midseason pickup last year. He seems to have his head squarely on his shoulders...until he meets some linebacker on a scramble that is.

                    That's happened. Several times. He just gets back up and throws touchdowns.

                      Except when he doesn't. Like last year. And the year before.

We cannot expect to experience the blessing of faith by standing inactive on the sidelines any more than we can experience the benefits of health by sitting on a sofa watching sporting events on television and giving advice to the athletes. And yet for some, “spectator discipleship” is a preferred if not primary way of worshipping." -Pres. Uchtdorf
