If I dont make it to the NFL I’ll do the same I spent most of my time weight lifting but I’ll never give up I think I have a good chance because I work out hours a day but it seems impossible. Anyone know where I can read more about this guy? Are there any similiar cases?

Hook Em Horndog 5:57 pm on December 19th, 2008 Someone will probably try to blame Gene Chizik for this. EPIC FAIL. Anyone with a Horns logo attached to their name would know that Gene Chizik was coaching for UT while Hicks was at ISU.

i feel for the guy.

it's hard to have a dream, then realize your best isn't good enough.

not saying i'd have taken the route he took, but i think about it all the time–and i'm a nobody.

as a former cyclone, it makes me sad.

I think Mr. Hicks did have a Plan B afterall. Plan Bridge.

God truly loves his own? Then why did He let the guy kill himself? Let me guess: the Lord works in mysterous ways, right?

READ THE STORY AND LEARN THE FACTS BEFORE COMMENTING!!!

he was no longer in college, hence the point of the whole story, HE DID NOT MAKE IT IN THE PRO'S. he tried to make it after he left college but was not good enough and did not have a "plan B." that is why he killed himself.

stop pointing the finger at other people(in this case, counselors) HICKS gave up. he quit. he could not handle adversity, modern day athletes are in love with themselves so they have a sense of entitlement. it starts at a young age when players are always told they are great.

when they dont get what they want things like this can happen. he had a college education and a great college football career. but that meant nothing to him without fame and fortune from the NFL. sad.
