I go back and watch Ricky clips a lot. Especially from that 2002 season. I watch them and then it hits me.....just how much those two first round picks ended up hurting us. I think about what we might have done with our #1 pick this year if we still had Ricky. Would we still have gotten Saban?? Would Wanny still be our coach?? I think about these things sometimes.
It's just crazy, the effect Ricky alone had on us, when he played and when he left. He made us a much better team. He created excitment for the fans. He left us a much poorer team and brought out anger and hate from the fans. But from the darkness comes dawn. It's dawn now.
