Dry humping? Sounds like you needed a closer. Ced just trying to help.

Just driving her hone from Chinese food at some place on 360 next to the Austin Country Club.

Relax thirsty fuckers.ย ย Focus on how Cedย

RIP Cedric. I always had faith when I saw you heading out into the flats you would knock someone on their ass.ย 

To a longhorn legend, I raise my beer.ย

RIP Ced.ย 

I remember he got arrested inย Austin a few daysย before someone set the Texas Governors Mansion on fire. Not sure how/why that sticks with me but for some reason Iโ€™ve always liked to think Ced set the mansion ablaze and got away with it.ย 

Don't know why troll, but I would like to cut a little hole in your stomach, pull out a little gut and stake you to a fire ant mound.

No shit.ย  Listen to Dalton or he'll fuck you up

...and I've got his back...

Damn it! ย  RIP Cedric. ย 

I recall how excited I was ย when we landed Cedric to help solidify what most of us hoped ( and what turned out correct) was a long term up swing in our program.
ย 

Some of you young ones on here (I'm 47 for the record and not anywhere close to old fart status) don't have any clue how sucky the period from the mid 80's till the mid 90's was for us. ย  ย The downturn under the later days of Mack and Charlieย sucked, but at least we didn't kick the can down the road as long as we did during that period with hiring to very mediocre HC who turned out to be a duds. ย ย Sure we had a couple of good seasons including one under ย David McWilliams which ended in a butt whopping against the U in Dallas on a cold New Year's day along withย a few under John Mackovic. ย But for lack a better word, we were modern day aggy. ย  ย So heck yes I was excited when we landed Cedric because we were just not attracting the big name in state recruits until Ricky Williams helped put us back on the stage. ย 

Sad.... Just damn sad!ย 

Man, I always thought highly of Ced, but to hear that he not only didnโ€™t kick the dry-humpers off his yard, but invited them in, speaks highly of his character. ย I usually just turn on the sprinklers.

Christ, what I needed was NOT flipping on LHN and seeing those fucking Ag dickwads doing their Ag dickwad things.ย  Gah.

RIP

SIAP:ย  Oh, man ... Will Matthews interview just tears me up:

Will Matthews was nails. Lead blocker for Ced for a long time. I can see heโ€™s hurting. This shit is still crazy. Canโ€™t believe it.ย

I believe they were best (or almost) friends off the field for a while as well.

Late, but hate this.ย  RIP Ced!

Man, that interview with Will Matthews . . . I know he's hurting, but damn, I want that guy on my team in any situation.ย ย

Seriously, I wish I had a friend like Will Matthews.

From what he describes, I wish I had a friend like Cedric Benson.

Wow, just nowย hearing about this. That sucks. I missed the start of the Saints-Chargers preseason game but they didn't mention it while I was watching. They haven't mentioned it during the Seahawks-Vikings game. You'd think that would beย newsworthy.ย 

RIP.ย 

Will Matthews.ย  Wow.ย  What a remarkable person.

You can say RIP and you're a legend..."but he was my friend, and I want him back..."ย  Perspective.ย  He has it.ย  Maybe the greatest thing anyone could say about Ced.ย  My heart is broken.

RIP, Ced. Longhorn family lost a great one. Hook โ€˜em.ย 

WIll was a buddy of mine but I never knew Ced personally. I was always intimidated by Will just by his sheer size and stern personality. Tough seeing him like this (also weird to see him about 50 lbs lighter but I guess it has been about 13 or 14 years).ย 

ย 

Watching the highlights of Ced today that I haven't seen in all these years and damn, I forgot how much of a badass back he was. Just a beast.ย 

Damn.ย  Terrible, terrible news.ย  So sad.ย  RIP Ced.ย  Hook 'Em! ย 

ย 

Thoughts and prayers to his friends and family. ย 

Just heard and read the thread. Was working all day and went to Google and they had it on the top story of things that might interest me. Had to come here to confirm.

So sad. RIP to Ced and his passenger.

Yeah, was away all day with the kids, and get home, and CNN and ESPN both had it as their top stories.

LHN playing 2003 UT/Tech game.ย  Ced just broke 8 tackles on an 8 yard run. It (and every play the came before it, were amazing.

Midnight, around 10 years agoย on W Courtyard Dr, I wasย making out with my GF. We'reย dry humping on the hood of my Acura. Cedric drives up and says โ€œyo, I live right over here (pointing 2 houses away) yโ€™all come overโ€. Such a kind, bad ass man. Thank you Ced. The planet needs more folks like you.ย 

you serious?ย  we lived on courtyard.ย  moved in 07.

Yeah, Iโ€™m sitting on the porch watching the game still in shock. Iโ€™m having a whiskey drink and lifting my glass to CB.

RIP to El Ced and Thoughts to his family and friends.ย  Very sad loss fo someone so young for his inner circle.ย ย ๐Ÿค˜

Really had thoughts we would see old man Ced at future games. Gut punch.ย ย 

He had a big heart.

RIP Longhorn Legend.ย 

#32 helmet sticker all season

retire the numberย 

have a senior wear the number each game as tribute before never being used again.ย 

i like the #32 helmet sticker idea (or a patch on the jersey).ย  i'd let roach wear #32 for his senior year and retire it after the season.

Watching Ced run over some Aggies right now. Damn hard to know someone who gave it all toย the sport and The University he loved is gone in such a tragic fashion.ย 

Rest In Peace Ced. May your legacy live long and never be forgotten.

What a pic. Late 90's/early 00's was my favorite era of Texas football.ย
