Cedric Benson has passed away - RIP 🤘​​​​​​​

[ztejas 44114]

Rest easy big guy

[CockadoodleHorn 40]

5600 block of mt Bonnell looks to be on the south side which has lights.  Makes more sense for it happening at north side because no light and Cedric traveling west.  Doesn’t seem like arrests were made.

[HornsOverIthaca 2339]

Sometimes it was like he could see the yellow line.

[Red Five 41596]

And the next week he got 136 yards against oSu. 

On like 35 carries.

[Shaggy3.0 1695]

Sad and tragic news.  He left this world way too early.  RIP.

 

 

[Get ln My Van 934]

Damn, man. One of my favorite players during high school. Rest Easy.

[Funk Doctor Spock 13121]

Oh fuck. My favorite recruit ever. RIP, Ced. 🤘🙁

[dingleberryswitzer 2724]

Sad to hear.  

[Brisketexan 106618]

Well, that’s shitty.

[Armybrat 41320]

One of my brothers lives about three blocks away from that intersection, so this tragedy does hit close to his home.

RIP Ced, you were one of a kind. 🤘

[Texas007 195]

Well this sucks. His Longhorn career was great but his 2000 senior season at Midland Lee was amazing.

RIP Ced

[MC Fresh Breath 4075]

Very sad news.  RIP

[Vic Mackey 47846]

God damnit. RIP Cedric Benson.

One of the most dominant HS RBs this state has ever seen. Dude was a fucking monster.

[naija 2961]

RIP Ced. 

[Rip76 5009]

RIP 32.  Rest easy, you were one of the greats.

[Zavala 1384]

So sad. They are a coffin on wheels, I fucking hate motorcycles for this reason. 

[CockadoodleHorn 40]

Just saw video of cop talking . Looks like it happened on north mt Bonnell.  Cop said that when cars come over hill at high speed on mt Bonnell road towards 2222, it is hard to stop at the stop sign there.  Kind of insinuating that the van went through stop sign and into 2222 west bound lane.

[MonkeyDoughnut 10762]

RIP. Prayers with family.

[Tired Horn 821]

Damn sorry to hear this.

RIP Ced.

Still pissed Mack didn't put him in against OU his fr year.

Allegedly because he didn't know the blitz pickups...stupid.  RIP to one of the all time great!

This.

[Captain Ron 13097]

Just saw the news. RIP.

[troph 25089]

Don't ride motorcycles

I almost got one after my divorce, but decided it was a stupid idea.

[SA-KC_Horn 1298]

Pour one out & light one to the air for El Ced.

[Cajun 11771]

My God, just seeing this.

What a gut punch.  I saw a guy lose control of his motorcycle the other night on Lamar near 24th.  Hit the curb and flew like a rag doll half a football field into Pease Park.

Margin for error on those things is next to nil.

FUCK

[Texas Flood 1381]

Damn
RIP

[TexMexBuddha 994]

Sorry. South side now does have a light, but still sucks with the cars zooming down the hill westbound.

[Stunns38 3763]

Damnit. RIP bro. Good times at the Drink on 6th back in the day.

[ChiTownDoc 21323]

🙏🏽

RIP

God damn motorcycles.  Get your loved ones off of them.  Fucking deathtraps.  😖

[Brian Fantana 6856]

Holy shit. Fuck motorcycles. RIP Cedric, you were a West Texas legend and we'll never forget you.

I really hope this isn't true. Oh damn.

Also guys, don't ride motorcycles. 

This. There is a reason that surgeons refer to motorcycle riders as walking organ donors. Just a sad situation all around. I hope for the best for his 10 year old daughter.

[markstanco 12773]

I would guess for the LaTech game they will do a tribute video. Wont be many dry eyes.

[honolulu horn 6203]

Terrible news. Ced was a beast of a RB. Seemed like he was overcoming many of his demons...life cut way too short.

That happened to my youngest son when he snuck his older brother’s dirt bike out to ride it down the street. He only dislocated his shoulder though.

[AnotherUTFan 9953]

Terrible news to wake up to. RIP Cedric.

[kingkoopa6 8594]

Wtf!!!!!!! I loved Cedric.  I remember his ass in high school. 3 straight state championships 350 plus yards and 5 touchdowns in every game. 

 

He waxed my SA MacArthur team. 

[Chopper 17429]

Random fact: Ced was the first high school player on the cover of DCTF. 

[HiggyBaby 2615]

Man RIP Ced. So sad to hear.

[VaLonghorn99 358]

RIP Cedrick, you left us too soon 

[Focht Up 643]

It's a very sad day.  It might be good to take jersey number 32 out of circulation.

[Voluminous Banality 1160]

One of his best games. Ran for 283 yards and 4 TDs against aggy.

 

[gsoda3 3358]

If memory serves, the first three carries he ever got for UT were in garbage time in a blowout against rice or ULaLa or something. The crowd absolutely erupted seeing him come off the sideline. He hit the hole so hard and so smooth. He was unique.

[HOOK'EMHOOAH 1610]

This is about the shittiest of things that can possibly happen. We are lesser without him with us. He made all of us better. He made everyone around him better. Cedric was the first Longhorn I ever liked. I fell madly in love with the University of Texas basically because of him. He is the reason I became interested in Texas. Before that I didn't really follow any team. I will miss him.
