That Was Fast...

And just like that, Ricky Williams is out for the season... Again. I was so hopeful for a glorious comeback but, alas, it was not to be. Ricky was stepped on after his 6th carry, Monday night, and had a chest muscle torn.

Ricky must wait until 2008 (that rhymes)

It's been quite a poor year for former Texas running backs: Ricky (out for year), Cedric (out for year), Priest Holes (retired after 1 game), Selvin Young (currently injured)

He's Baaaaaack!

Ricky Williams was really my last true "sports hero" before I became too old to idolize guys that were younger than me (Kevin Durant aside). So, I am completely biased when I say that I am incredibly happy that Ricky is back in the NFL. I was always in the camp that Ricky is a good guy, just misunderstood. My life feels a little more complete now that I can watch Williams run again in the NFL.

Ricky Reinstated...

Oh and in case you forgot

Ricky Williams Still Wanting NFL Chance...

It has been reported that Ricky Williams is, again, applying for reinstatement into the NFL. While his career at Texas was nothing short of legendary, his NFL life has been wildly inconsistent. Williams has both lead the NFL in rushing and been suspended from play for league violations. For all accounts, Williams is not a bad guy, just weird and liked to smoke too much. While marijuana use is wide spread in the NFL, Ricky seemed to become the poster boy for substance abuse.

Ricky keeps trying though. It seems he really wants to play and is trying to come back better than ever. In my book, Ricky will always be my favorite Longhorn. He was my last true "hero" before I became too old and too jaded to "idolize" athlete (VY man crush aside). So here's hoping for the best for Ricky. Whatever team he winds up on will soon become my favorite team.

Run, Ricky, Run....

Hopefully a good luck picture for OU week
