Eric Wicks' iPod

The lefty attended the Big East conferences football media day on Tuesday in Newport, RI. There was much discussion of Brian Brohm's Heisman hopes, Ray Rice's new Heisman tchotchke and of course, the Wannestache. To start things off, I chatted with talented West Virginia safety Eric Wicks, who is listed here as the second best defensive player in one of the nation's best conferences. Besides being a ballhawk and the most aggressive blitzing defensive back in the nation (Wicks led the Mountaineers with seven sacks last season), he's also a music aficionado who is plugged into his iPod unless on the field or at a media obligation.

Here are the last 5 songs listened to by Wicks:
- White Girl (remix) by Young Jeezy
- Dear Mama by 2Pac
- Together by Akon
- This is the Carter by Lil' Wayne
- Country Roads by John Denver

Okay, what? "John Denver?" I asked him. "Yeah", he said, "John Denver is classic. Sometimes you just need to keep it simple and classic." I recommended the version by reggae legend Toots and the Maytals. More Big East material on the way...

Feel free to comment below- post the last song you listened to on the iPod (or radio, or whatever).
