Saw Jonathan Williams cruising around town on a scooter

[newey-west]

No helmet.

Shorts.

T-Shirt.

Knowing the potential payout that he has at the end of the year, I think I'd be more careful than this.  Kids are kids.

[PorkRinds]

Haterz gonna hate.

[ricepig]

...

I'm just glad he got it fixed.

[PorkRinds]

The difference between us and Alabama.  Their players drive around in brand new chargers.  Ours rock the scooter!

[Pigsknuckles]

As long as the scooter didn't look like this...

[Pig in the Pokey]

I just JWIll on draft day at the scooter store on college. He coo.

Man, dats JWill. He gone truck a car on dat zooter.

[supersaint]

It could be worse

[Biggus Piggus]

I was going to say - at least JWill didn't fall asleep in a fast food drive thru on his scooter.

[WooPig90]

Congrats

You just described what 99% of college students wear when on mopeds

Hey scooters are just like fat girls.  Fun to ride but don't let your friends see.

[smb]

Well if he didn't get hurt running thru Bama's tackles I don't think an Itty bitty scooter's going to hurt him.

[twistitup]

He should at least wear a seat belt....I means dayyumm

And maybe even some elbow pads and shin guards

[hawginbigd1]

He tweeted the other day about deciding on whether to get a new scooter, i wanted to tweet him, forget about it. to close to a motorcycle and you know those don't work out for us!

[sickboy]

It could be worse

We could have Draco Malfoy on our team?!

[Pancetta]

If he's going to ride it on the street he should wear a helmet. If you think helmet to helmet is dangerous then think about bare head to concrete or truck bumper.

[uncle bubs]

Analyzing a college kid's attire while cruising around on a scooter. Really?

[DeltaBoy]

Non Story glad he got a scooter to ride.

[WorfHog]

Very few of these kids in Fayetteville on scooters are wearing a helmet, drives me crazy. It's only a matter of time until one of them ends up a vegetable.

definitely a resemblance

[twistitup]

definitely a resemblance

To a guy w narcotics dependency issues, yes

What LB for us (a few years ago) that got hit on a scooter and then he got up and proceeded to total out the car that hit him? I have forgotten who it was

Wasn't there a girl involved? Angry old boyfriend or something ?

[dsgreen]

There was a never a thread for Robert Johnson when he used to go around on his scooter.  Where were you then huh?

Wendel Davis.  He beat up a car.

No blonde on the back of the scooter?

or a fruit!

[Drizzy]

Guys...I saw the same thing and it's nothing to worry about. It's a fake scooter. He is going Flintstones on that scooter and running it down the road at 35 mph. Woo Pig.

[Carl Lazlo]

Be a sight to see skipper or tretola take it for a spin. Helmets on.

neither could get the scooter to make it up to the 25 mph marker....those are two big men

[Jacob "2 Scoops" Johnson]

I think he'll be okay. Like someone said, I'd put it around 60% of kids here have a scooter. Especially this time of year.

[Theolesnort]

Wendel Davis.  He beat up a car.

Yeah, Ole Car Crusher Davis.

I rode a bike and skateboard , no helmet or pads,  Have scars and didn't grow up a wuss

+1 for telling Da Troof..!

And on tailgates of trucks going down the highway. Times have definitely changed.

you also weren't being counted on to carry the load for the hogs next season. If your smart enough to wear a helmet on the field where the worst thing that can hit you is a linemen, then be smart enough on the road with trucks. He has millions of reasons to wear one

I'll be smited but I agree with this man. I get why people do it. I've ridden mile after mile without a helmet. Just seems like the way to do it until a car, a curb a phone pole or dump truck meets one's head. It's dangerous even if you don't have a millionaire's life awaiting. You have a life. Big chance he'll never have a problem. Slim chance he will. But he might.

[immahog]

this thread has "Off season" all over it

[bondhue]

Ask Jack McKinney what can happen on two wheels, no helmet.

[Hog N Bama]

Odds are against you being on a scooter in the first place. Riding one without a helmet, well, odds are even worse. It's not that he isn't a good rider or careful. The problem is people driving vehicles often do not see you.

[oldhawg]

Yes, but people wouldn't recognize him if he wore a helmet, and this conversation wouldn't be taking place.  Recognition is a good thing (as long as you aren't involved in illegal activities or being an a'hole).

Players have been riding scooters around the U of A campus for awhile now.  I can only recall one instance, the Davis one where he got bumped, but he didn't suffer many injuries.  A lot of our players family's can't afford to get them cars, so they have scooters that primarily get them around campus.  It is hard to speed around campus, and I can't imagine those things go really fast.

Of course accidents can happen due to incompetent drivers.  I could get hit crossing the street in a big city due to a careless driver at no fault of my own.  That would suck if it happens to one of our players, but take off the safety goggles.  99% of college kids with scooters wear that, and are you going to ban scooters so they have to walk  everywhere around campus? No story as long as they aren't riding like that UF walkon.

What difference does that make in life? We ALL have reasons for trying to be safe. Money is not the best reason.
