Hate that for anyone... Even an Aggie. Best wishes to the kid.

What's the story behind this guy's name ? Did his mom just really want a girl ? Why the hell would you name a boy a girl's name ? That's not like "Francis","Terry" or "Marion".

Y'all coach must really suck. The person he starts sucks compared to all of y'all backups.

In the aTm games I watched prior to Michael's injury, I'd say the two were about even. Their depth does suffer with Michael out fwiw.

Michael's first name is pronounced "KRIS-tuhn." I'm not going to go so far as to say Gray is better than Michael--they have two VERY different running styles.
C-Mike is a violent runner (think Marion Barber with speed)--he hits the hole hard and seeks to punish his tacklers. He's also the owner of the longest scoring run from scrimmage in Aggie history (97 yards last year). Usually his role was to "soften up" the opponent.
Cyrus Gray is more of a finesse back. He's not going to run over you, but he gets stronger as the game wears on. He's the more patient of the two runners--whereas Michael will barrel into trouble at full speed and try to make something happen upon contact, Gray will allow the best block to be made, and then press his advantage.
Optimally, I'd like to have that 1-2 punch back, but there's no denying Gray's improvement after being given more touches. First Aggie RB in over a decade to string together so many consecutive 100+ yard games.
