'Til Gabriel Blows His Horn

I almost swallowed my teeth at this news.

Ricky Williams is retiring?!? He's leaving the game at the height of his glory, and returning to UT to study education or something. The Siren song of Austin has claimed another one.

Godspeed, my fleet-footed friend. I'll always remember having my back turned away from the field during the run in which you broke the all-time rushing record because my friend Mark was smashed out of his gourd on Jack Daniels at 9am and he was falling over backwards to puke.

The replay looked really great.
