LaMichael James freaks out on roller coaster

Found December 27, 2011 on Kegs 'n Eggs: Yardbarker Blogger Network
TEAMS:

From Kegs 'N Eggs:

LaMichael James is one of the best players in the country. This is not debatable, this is a college football fact.

He’s fast, really fast, and one of the toughest guys out there. James dislocated his elbow earlier in 2011 and bounced back quickly, playing through pain. On the field, there’s not many like him, and he’ll likely be one of the first backs taken in 2012 NFL Draft.

With that out of the way, we finally found a weakness in Oregon’s great runner. Size, you say? Nah. Ability to catch the ball? Not this time. Durability? Nope. Turns out, James’ true weakness lies away from the pylons.

ROLLER COASTERS

Oregon, who’s preparing for the Rose Bowl in California, logged some hours at Disneyland and took a ride on the very popular Space Mountain. James joined his teammates on this ride, and the results are wonderful.

The image above comes courtesy of Oregon running back Kenjon Barner’s Twitter page, and James is situated on the left in the front car.

He’s not having as much fun as we are right now.

  • Maybe he thought someone was going to take him out and throw a beating on him like he does to his girl friends.

  • Wisconsin should add the two girls two rows behind him to their defensive line. They have that fearless look. Go Badgers!

  • sorry realpeople but you are wrong about the 'beating'. I live in Eugene and the beating charge was actually a slight push from Lamichael as his girlfriend sad after the fact. That was it and no problems since. Get the story straight you jealous person over the Ducks

  • This is an amazing photo surely to be put over the mantleplce. The girls in the back are having the time of their life. This is so funny. Maybe because not only James but the guy behind looks like he's in danger this might make a good punishment for gangbangers have them do Space Mountain a few times enough to scare some sense into them.
