College football

Gotta minute? Ricky Williams, Bethune-Cookman

By SHARON GINN
Published November 16, 2004

Q: What do you do to get yourself ready for big games? Are you superstitious?

A: I am superstitious. I have a good-luck shirt that I've had since high school (at Boca Ciega). A white cutoff shirt my father (Ralph Williams) gave me. Nothing on it, just a white shirt.

Q: Is it still white?

A: Not really. It's gray since I've washed it so much. A couple of holes. I (also) listen to music. Rap music. A lot of DMX before the game.

Q:What's in your CD player right now?

A: Lil' Wayne.

Q: Aside from the game, what's the best thing about the Florida Classic?

A: The crowd. Walking into a stadium with 70,000 people; it's exhilarating. A rush, a major rush. It's burgundy and gold and green and orange. It's real exciting.

Q:What will you eat on Thanksgiving, and where?

A: I'll be eating turkey, ham, dressing, macaroni and cheese. I'm going to be at my grandmother's house (Ruth Williams, in St. Petersburg). She makes the best macaroni and cheese. There'll be deviled eggs, sweet potato pie - that's my favorite dessert. My mom (Diane Williams) makes the best dressing in the family.
