Headshot Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 You want to see a low down dirty scumbag worthless piece of trash, look at someone who would beat on a woman. I hope Rickerson gets crippled by this chick's brothers or something. Glad that I'll never see him in a Gator uniform again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rohan_mehta86 Posted November 5, 2008 Share Posted November 5, 2008 I think thats a very bad thing to do and that he received appropriate punishment. However, I always wonder, this is not the first time we have seen a football player get kicked off the team for some really bad behavior. So dont they know what the consequences are? You have to believe that they go through special orientations when they enroll at a major athletic program that you will be under constant scrutiny and that you need to think any thing that you do through before doing it? Sometimes it just baffles me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
