Bowl Reserve

Houston Texans Tickets- Green Put on Injured Reserve

The Houston Texans may have tallied a hard-fought 16-6 win over the Cleveland Browns during week 12, but they lost one of their star players. Running back Ahman Green injured his left knee during the game, which was severe enough to force the Texans to place him on injured reserve. He was injured in the third quarter of the game. Luckily for the Texans, they have already been investing in another running back this season, Steve Slaton. As of week 12, Slaton has already tallied 774 yards and six touchdowns. Also at running back, the Texans have third year pro Ryan Moats, who was on the practice squad earlier this year before being moved to the active roster on October 26.

Green is no rookie in the NFL. 2008 marked the veteran's 11th season in the NFL. Before coming to the NFL, Green was a standout at Nebraska and part of the 1995 team that won the national title. He entered the draft after his junior year and was selected in the third round by the Seattle Seahawks in 1998. That first year, he played in all 16 games bud did not start any. He had 35 carries for 209 yards and one touchdown. He again didn't start in 1999, but played in 14 games, tallying 120 yards on 26 carries. He was traded to the Green Bay Packers before the 2000 season. That year, he started in 11 out of the 16 games he played in, tallying 1,175 yards and 10 touchdowns on 263 carries.

He started every game the year after, amazing 1,387 yards and nine touchdowns on 304 carries and had his first Pro Bowl invitation. He had similar stats in 2002, but had to sit out of two games because of an injury. He still had 1,240 yards and seven touchdowns as well as another Pro Bowl selection. 2003 and 2004 were both Pro Bowl years as well. In 2003, he had a career-high season with 1,883 yards and 15 touchdowns on 355 carries. He played only five games in 2005 before being placed on injured reserve because of a ruptured right quadriceps tendon. He also missed two games in 2006, but started the other 14 games. Green was signed as a free agent by the Texans before the 2007 season. He played six games with five starts in 2007 before being placed on IR with a knee injury. He managed 260 yards and two touchdowns on 70 attempts.

Before being put on IR this season, Green had played in eight games and started one. He had tallied 294 yards and three touchdowns on 74 attempts. Green's replacement, Slaton, is a rookie this season who the Texans picked up in the third round of the 2008 draft. He was already named the http://NFLPlayers.com Rookie of the Week in week five and has been nominated four times for the Diet Pepsi NFL Rookie of the Week.

Bowl ticket reservations?

I am wanting to reserve football bowl tickets now, so that i can purchase bowl tickets at face value next weekend when my team is selected. right not i dont know what bowl they are going to go to

Go to your schools website. If they are a major school, they will have some type of waiting list based upon priority.

This is especially true for the major bowl games.

For minor bowl games, you should be reasonably safe in waiting as they aren't sold out before the schools are announced, unlike the BCS bowls, where the only way you will get a ticket is by buying a scalped ticket, some over priced package, or getting it thru your school.
