Lucas: Tears For A Ram

Posted Mar 25, 2007

If you're a parent, this is the kind of day you dread. Rameses is going to be on the news frequently in the days to come as more news trickles out about the car accident in New Jersey that placed him in critical condition. His parents arrived last night and his brother flew in from Colorado. What do you say when your kids ask you why Rameses is on TV? Mascots don't get hurt. Not like this. And neither should college kids. (Tar Heel Blue)
