re: on the news front.........
I got a full ride myself, but unfortunately after my second season I was involved in a auto accident and sustained a badly broken hip. I tried like hell to come back my junior year, but I could never get back to what I was before the accident. My leg wouldn't take the pounding and I gained about a second on my 40. Being a DB speed is everything, so that was it for my football career. It suck's when you work your ass off for so many years and it all ends in a second. Oh well, that's life.
I'm curious, what sport did you play?
