Ricky Williams needs a new hookup

AUSTIN, Texas -- Texas running back Ramonce Taylor, who scored a touchdown in the Longhorns' Rose Bowl win over Southern California, was arrested early Sunday by Bell County sheriff's deputies who said they found marijuana in a backpack in his car.

According to a news release from Sheriff Dan Smith, deputies also found a live 40-caliber round of ammunition in the console of the vehicle.

The sheriff first reported deputies found more than five pounds of marijuana in Taylor's backpack, which would be a second-degree felony punishable by two to 20 years in jail and $10,000 in fines.

But Bell County prosecutors instead charged Taylor with state jail felony drug posession of marijuana, pending lab results to determine the total weight of the drug, Smith's office said.

Interesting how the weight of the bag conveniently changed to JUST under the legal limit for a second-degree felony. Gotta love that Texas justice (assuming you're a star football player).

Amazing....flat out amazing. I think Mack Brown needs to better educate his players and gain hold of his out of control program for God's sake. He'll probably get off because he is a Longhorn and those Texans sure love their football and horseshoes. And live ammunition means one thing, there's a gun somewhere. And what does he need a gun for....Ze Germans ??

I wouldn't worry about texas. Trojans already have problems with Bush and his free-loading parents. Just hope you still have at least 1 national championship before this season even starts.

First of all, I have a question for Matt. Is English a second language for you? If so, I would understand, if not, you must be a product of the Texas public school system. Second, tell Ramonce Taylor to pass that blunt over here unless is Texas dirtweed because in Cali, we only smoke the finest chronic...

Kind of like a football player getting caught with a bag full of Exstacy pills and not getting charged.
