I find it unbelievable that the UT fans started a retirement fund for a former player that blew millions in his short-nfl career.

I believe that he VY will receive his pension for being on a team for so many consecutive years.

This is very loosely connected to LSU. The more money UT fans give to VY, the less they have to buy players with which could have an impact on LSU recruiting. Wait, maybe this needs to be on the Recruiting Board in that case

As if that isn't on par with just about every other comment on the Rant. Thanks for being a hero though.

Hey this isn't the "We Forgive You" board... I get bitch slapped every time I post. It's like when a fighter steps into the ring and beats the hell out his face before the fight starts... It feels good. :-D

I mean, i'm gullible as hell so would not be surprised if it is fake.

Since you undoubtedly feel for him, some Texas Longhorn alums want you to help VY out. They set up an Indiegogo fundraiser “to provide Vince with a diversified retirement portfolio.” Their goal: $100,119, which is one dollar for every seat in Texas’s football stadium. I can only assume that “diversified retirement portfolio” means 20 meals at the Cheesecake Factory.


LINK So far, $47 has been donated, so he has less than 10% of a single Louis XIII shot right now.

can't be a good feeling to be labeled a douche on your first post.

He single handedly gave them a national championship; and, unlike Scam Newton, he was actually all about his school.

I usually hate Texas, but think this is a class move. VY thought he was going to play for 10yrs, it fell apart and he was ripped off. Unique situation.
