It good to have more than one UMass grad playing RB in the NFL...

and the Texans could have a good year this year...

Yeah....it DOES sound like (after listening to Coach on the radio this a.m.) that Hightower is definitely the #2 back. But I'm guessin' that all along, it was a battle for the #3 slot between Baylark and Shipp....

Probably. And at 1.75 million, Shipp lost the numbers game.

A short article in the Houston paper's web site doesn't say it directly...but it sounds like this could be just a temporary stop for Shipp...

So I was listening to local sports talk radio on my way home yesterday afternoon (around 5:00) and they were talking about Hightower and Marcel Shipp...one of the guys asked "Did Marcel land anywhere?" and neither knew the answer....I called the station to tell them "at cs.com, WE know the answer! And we knew it this morning!" but they wouldn't take my call. Bastards.

910 has one - it is ok. Actually don't mind Gambo and Ash too much, except when NY is involved
