His girlfriend lived in my apartment complex. So that pretty much makes me famous. One more side note: in ‘96-’97, I rode the UT Shuttle most afternoons with Priest.

The Sun Bowl was his break out game to end his junior year, and he was set up to star as a senior in 95. But an injury kept him out that season, which coincided with Ricky Williams' freshman year. By 96, Ricky was firmly entrenched as "the man" and Priest returned basically as the goal-line back. The Nebraska game was a total shock, since he was featured over Ricky. He averaged under 30 yards a game his senior year. But that one game got him a tryout with the Ravens after he went undrafted. It's amazing what he accomplished once he got to the NFL.

Maybe because he was so quickly overshadowed by Ricky? It may be because of my age, but I didn’t realize until well into his NFL career, that Priest Holmes played at UT.

I feel like a birther here, but come on. There's no way that Ndukouwaong can beat a guy named COLT MCCOY. Gun + Malt Liquor, people. Can't get more All-American than that. And I would totally suicide-bomb Tim Tebow if given the chance. Tebow? More like Thibault, you phony French bastard. Ndamukong Suh
Jared Crick
Roy Helu
Rex Burkhead
