Injury Bug Hits Hard on Opening Weekend

Big injuries to big name players was the drawback to a great opening weekend for college football.

Jeremy Maclin of Missouri went down with a serious ankle injury versus Illinois.

Beanie Wells was carted off the field after injuring his foot versus Youngstown State.

Knowshon Moreno the starting tailback at Georgia pulled up with a possible hamstring injury on a touchdown run Saturday as well.

More injury woes for Georgia as starting defensive tackle Jeff Owens was lost for the season with a torn ACL.

Percy Harvin is still struggling with a heel problem and is probable for next weekend’s game at Miami. The speedy wide receiver was held out of the Gators opening game this weekend against Hawaii.

Wells and Maclin’s x-rays were negative and more information will be released this week as far as the severity of their injuries.

Stay Safe,

Richard and CJ

What happens when you take a two young educated African-Americans with street cred who love football more than Republicans love guns and oil or Democrats love nature and health care?

You get Richard aka Riverboat Ricky, a young college graduate from the University of Oklahoma, and currently pursuing his Master's degree at the University of Texas. Yes the black Benedict Arnold of our time.

Richard ran track for 2 years at the University of Oklahoma and walked-on to the University of Oklahoma football team as well for one year.

Richard loves football and all things football. He has two seasons in his life, football season and waiting for football season.

Claude aka Lina is a recent Master's graduate of the University of Oklahoma as well as a former DE at University of Oklahoma.

Claude loves football almost as much as Richard. The jury is still out on who loves it more.

Richard's tamed but smug-witted writing and Claude's tell it like it is with a few ad libs ala Young Jeezy style of writing make for 6magazine™ and 6magazineOnline™.

Our Mission at 6magazine™ is this:

6magazine™'s mission is to completely satisfy the appetite of the most voracious football fan. The magazine hits this mark while maintaing the commitment to the most trendy and fluid presentation available for an urban centered gridiron publication.

6magazine™ aims at setting a precedent. It is for the reader who wants more than the short weekly editorial in Sports Illustrated. It is for the reader that wants the depth of the recruiting publications. Also for the reader who wants to know the story surrounding the story and all the intangibles they truly need to be in the know.

We understand the contemporary football fan and aim to improve football knowledge but also the emerging trends and insider information that is often times only available for those with enough money to pay for a highly expensive membership. 6 aims to make football accessible at the highest level for anyone who understands football and is more than a machismo bumper car match.
