Thanks for depressing me Phorkie!!!!
Seriously though, what a friggen' beast Ray was. That's the type of athlete we simply don't get anymore, at least not consistently enough (despite CW and the staff's great efforts). Those beasts stay in the SEC. I remember that Ray wasn't exactly 'ND material' persay, but Lou used to be able to get those guys in and keep them in line enough to play and graduate.
And Chris Collinsworth, whom a lot of people can't stand, was and still is one of my favorite broadcasters. So good, so knowledgeable about the game, and so damn truthful. Told it like it was. Now we're stuck with a USC guy. Oh well...
