Bring Will Solomon back

[Cman]

I just went for a walk, didn't mean to, but I ended up by Will's old place, and I... I couldn't help but look up to see if the lights were on. I knew they wouldn't be, but I had to look, it wasn't the darkness, it was the absence of light that got to me. Next thing I knew I was going to all our old places, the park where we first met, the ice cream parlor, that little coffee shop that was our special place. Every time the door opened I kept looking up, hopeful, only to have my heart ripped from me yet again.

After about an hour of sitting around, hoping against hope, I realized Will was gone. I decided to get some air, walked down the old train tracks, kicking pebbles, sipping cheap whiskey from my paper bag wrapped bottle. When I heard that familiar sound of a Train coming my way, I stood there frozen not sure what to do without Will. Thoughts swirled through my mind, dark things, things I never thought possible. But no, this isn't what Will would want, Will always saw the best in people, things, he would want me to be strong. So I moved, I had to, it's what Will would have wanted, it's all he would have settled for. He was right, I knew he was.

I wandered for a while longer, before staggering home to watch the shell of the Celtics, it wouldn't be the same. Sure the team was still there, but was it? How could they forget him so quickly, how could they move on? Why can't I?

That was brilliant.
Just brilliant.

Thanks for all the kind words... if only they could bring Will back.

Hey guys, I want to thank everyone again for getting me through the whole mess last week - I know your support and sympathy was a huge help for me, and hopefully I might have helped some of you too.

Anyway, this might be too soon, and it might not be the right place to say this, but...

Did anyone else notice Will Bynum on TV last night?!?!?!?




ME W!!!

I was asleep last night, and Will came to me, and he whispered softly in my ear, "it's going to be all right, we all get through these times" then he slowly floated away, I tried to follow him, but I couldn't move.  When I woke up, I had my Authentic Sol Jersey wrapped around me, but I didn't remember going to bed with it on.  I think I'm going to be ok....

I miss Willie!

[Roy Hobbs]

I miss Willie!

/sigh.
will this thread ever die?

you can track Willie here, it makes it a little better to see him flourish, but saddens me, for I know now what could have been http://www.nba.com/playerfile/willie_solomon/index.html?nav=page

[cdif911]

this made me think, what if we had an all Will/Willie team, it'd be sick

Will Bynum
Will Solomon
Willie Green
William (Bill) Walker
William (Bill) Russell

6th Man - William (Bill) Walton
William (Bill) Cartwright
Will Avery
Will Conroy
Will Purdue

its pretty obvious from this list, Will is a solid solid name to name your kid, he could be the next Willie Solomon!

If we'd kept Will, the Celts would have been in a position to possibly get Gooden while still having an all-star caliber back up PG.

If Will stayed, it would have been tough for Rondo to keep his starting spot...and Ray too, Doc could have put 4 guys on the floor and still beat anyone in the league

Trying to redirect the Will Solomon spark before it turns into a full fledged inferno in the 5 Favorite C moments thread.

Will Solomon was sweaty awesome.

I am pretty sure that Will Solomon and Roy Hobbs are related.


"Bring Will Solomon back" 

Spiritually speaking, was Will ever gone?
