Classic Willie "William" Williams Lines

'We could see [the pilot]and he could see us,'' Williams said. 'One time, the plane starting shaking. So I asked [the pilot] `Is everything OK?' He turned around a gave me the thumbs up and didn't say a word. Then when it happened again, he did the same thing -- thumbs up.
'I looked at the other guys and was like, `This guy has to be related to Ebert or something.'
---------------------------
''Auburn opened my eyes a little bit,'' Williams said. ``But they closed them, too.''
---------------------------
''I really wanted to go to Red Lobster for some more lobster and steak, but they told me the wait was two hours. So I got me some babyback ribs, buffalo wings and shrimp,'' Williams said. ``Even though I ordered first, somehow, I was still the last one to get my food. It took them like two hours.''
During the wait, several of the female hosts, nicknamed the ''Tigerettes'', offered him some of their spinach dip.
''You know how it is, those girls are supposed to be there to cheer you up,'' Williams said. ``But I told them, `I ain't no animal, and I ain't going to eat no plant.'
----------------------------
`You think I'm a snow man or something?' She didn't say nothing. Not even sorry. I was [ticked] off.''
-------------------
''The girls at the party were much better than the farmer girls we'd see all day around campus,'' Williams said. ``I was kind of worried all Auburn had to offer was those farmer girls that talked funny. But the girls at the party weren't farmer girls at all. I thought they must have bused them in from Miami.''
--------------------------
''I asked Coach Odell, `Where we eating tonight?'' Williams said. 'He was like, `The stadium.' I thought he was playing. Then we ended up eating at the stadium again. I guess we spent all their money the night before.''

someone find out about all the stuff he did on his Florida visit. Didn't he pull a fire alarm, punch a dude, and sexually harrass a girl?

Posted on 7/14/08 at 10:41 pm to Boudin

apparently he went to Louisville for a "second chance" then promptly committed some sort of felony and got booted off the team.
I hate wasted talents

Wasn't that his third chance? I thought he went to some JUCO school after Miami.

the best part is that greg shaw is his half-brother.

well i did a little research myself...
quote:
"It's been great, the last few months have been unbelievable," Williams said. "They should call it the year of Willie Williams."
quote:
"I call Florida the 'show-me' state," Williams said. "They show you something. We brought eight people here and I think seven started. All of us really played and balled out. We all played hard and had a good game."
quote:
“The visit went alright,” Williams said. “We didn’t go to one restaurant the whole time. We were eating at the stadium – like Swedish meatballs and stuff like that. I don’t know. I didn’t like that.”
Asked his highlight of the visit, he said, “I’d have to say it was probably the hotel breakfast – every night we ate fried chicken, macaroni and cheese and stuff like that. The breakfast had more variety. That was the highlight, so that can pretty much tell you what I thought of the visit.”
“I haven’t decided yet how I’m going to do it,” he says. “I thought of a lot of crazy stuff, like I’m going to have three jerseys on – Miami and FSU and then whichever of the two I’m leaning to. I’d take the Miami one or FSU one off and I’ll have Miami or FSU under it and they’ll think I’m going there. Then I’d have a third one under that.”
quote:
"I've been in jail, I was locked up," he says. "I was in a program for juveniles in middle school. Back then we didn't care about the grades, the teachers, we just went to school for a big fashion show, for entertainment only. I got in trouble and they sent me to a (correctional) program at Bay Point for nine months. I knew that wasn't the route I should take or the life I should be living. I'd see games on TV, I would be thinking `I know that could be me someday. I shouldn't be locked up.'" He got out of Bay Point two months before being hit by a car while crossing the street. He spent months rehabilitating injuries he suffered. "God was showing me something," Williams said.

now this is kinda effed up!
quote:
“I feel great about today,” he said.
Then he shook his head and was silent.
Everyone waited.
“I’d like to ask everybody to give me five more minutes just to think about it if that isn’t asking too much,” he said. The crowd groaned.
“Coach, can I have five minutes?” Williams called to Frazier, who was now standing off to the side. Frazier came to the podium and said some words but nobody was listening. All eyes were focused on Willie.
“Why do you always have to be a character?” his mother said to him as he approached her seat. Williams began whispering with his stepfather and others. His stepfather and mother had shown up at the media center wearing Miami hats. Was that a sign?
The crowd waited. And waited. And waited.
Williams spoke briefly with teammates. Then he sat at a table with his family.
Camera crews were gathered around the table where Williams was huddling with family members, recording every micron of detail for future generations to see.
Finally Williams, with some urging from his family, got back up and headed to the podium.
“That wasn’t quite five minutes, it kind of took a little longer -- seven minutes,” Williams said. “I talked to some of the players, my family, I already had discussed it with my family…”
He paused and took a deep breath. “Basically…” He paused again. Another deep breath. He asked a family member for the Deion Sanders jersey. “Let’s see how it looks,” Williams said, his voice barely above a whisper. He put on the jersey and FSU hat. “I feel like I’m a throwback player,” Williams said as he put on the outfit. Then he took it off and asked for the Miami jersey as classmates applauded. He put on the Jerome Brown jersey. “Go ahead and say it,” one of Williams’ family members urged The crowd roared once he had the Miami uniform and hat on. “Jerome Brown would be proud,” one classmate yelled from the back of the room.
But then Williams began taking the jersey off. His classmates grumbled. That’s when Williams made his big announcement. “I’m gonna go to UM,” Williams said.
The room exploded.
Williams headed back to sit down at a nearby table to sign his UM papers. Camera crews and reporters followed him the whole way.

So what factors will Williams base his decision on?
“I can’t even say,” Williams said.
“I can’t even say,” Williams said.
