There's more bad news for the Kentucky football program this afternoon. Wildcat running back CoShik Williams has seen his senior season come to an end after an MRI revealed a torn labrum in his hip. According to UK's official website, Williams will undergo surgery "as soon as possible."
The fifth-year senior started Kentucky's final five games last season and earned a place in UK lore by scoring the game-winning touchdown last year in the Cats' first victory over Tennessee since 1984. This year, injuries limited him to just 66 yards.
Joker Phillips said of the former walk-on: "He's out after playing a game and 14 plays."

VIDEO: No charges for OSU running back Carlos Hyde
We're sorry. The requested media is not available in a format compatible with your mobile device.
(Columbus) -- Columbus Police say they will not file charges against Ohio State running back Carlos Hyde.
On Saturday, Sgt. Rich Weiner says investigators talked with the woman who claimed she was assaulted by Carlos Hyde.
"She told investigators that she did not want to pursue charges at this time," Weiner said.
Weiner declined to say why she made that decision.
Hyde was named as a person of interest in the police report on the incident at a downtown Columbus bar early the morning of July 20th. He was suspended from the football team while the investigation was ongoing. Ohio State hasn't said whether or not he will be reinstated.
Weiner wouldn't speculate on whether or not they had enough evidence to file charges had the victim decided to move forward because the investigation was not complete.
You can see the incident about 3:20 into the video above.

Seriously, anyone who has worked in my field can tell you that sexual orientation is not a strictly biological thing. Too many adults who are gay were sexually abused as children to rule that out as a factor. My brother's first marriage ended when his ex wife decided she was gay. She had only dated men prior to that, but she was around 21 when they got married, and she had a history of being sexually abused by a much older brother when she was a child. I've worked with kids, boys in particular, who grew up to be gay, and pretty much every one of them has a horrible tale to tell from their childhoods-not that that is a sample of the general population.
Then again, I have a friend who is young, from a stable family, was never sexually abused in his childhood, yet he is gay. He never was attracted to girls, except as friends, even as a kid. He also has a really stable relationship record, with a few college boyfriends and a long-term commitment as an adult.
Human sexuality is a complicated thing, compared to the instinct-driven mating habits of other mammals.
I just assumed that they were sucked into it.
You're all a little weird. I am surprised you guys know so much about gay and BDSM terms...

At a Cleburne County School board meeting Monday, parents told the board that it has a responsibility to select quality employees to teach children and that, in their view, it had recently failed to do so. One month earlier, the board selected Frederick M. Berry, who had pleaded guilty to second-degree possession of marijuana in August 2007, to serve as a third-grade teacher at Cleburne County Elementary School.
Berry declined to speak to The Star, pending approval from his attorney.
"I do not want a drug offender teaching my child," said Jody Brown, who has a child entering the third grade at Cleburne County Elementary. "I'm asking you to please rescind this measure."
Brown wasn't the only parent at the meeting who is concerned about the board's decision to hire Berry. The meeting was held in the Cleburne County Middle School library, which was filled with several parents, some of whom also questioned the board for hiring Berry.
Board member Dana Turner told the crowd that he was glad they brought the matter to the board's attention.
Before they spoke out, Turner said, the board was not fully aware of the "extent" of Berry's background.
"You have to bring these items to our attention," Turner said. "We're not above you. We make mistakes like everybody else."
The board entered into an hours-long executive session before the close of the meeting. According to Turner, they were discussing the concerns surrounding Berry's employment.
Two people, Wes Littleton and Stacey Littleton, were invited into the executive discussion, Turner said. He indicated that the board could soon make a decision concerning Berry's employment. The board's next scheduled meeting is today.
Cleburne County's interim superintendent Mary Harrington said she was aware that Berry had been fired from Oxford City Schools, because it was indicated on his application in a portion that asked about his past. But, she said, a misdemeanor offense does not preclude someone from teaching in a public school in Alabama.
"It's not my job to judge people, but I do realize that a lot of people have been given a lot of chances," Harrington said.
Teachers must undergo background checks before entering the classroom. Turner said teachers are hired, and then their backgrounds are reviewed by state officials.
"When we hire, we expect the state to come through and give us clear title," Turner said. "Sometimes we get the cart in front of the horse."
Harrington said parents' opposition to Berry's hiring is racially motivated, even though the parents who questioned the board Monday deny that claim. Parents say they oppose Berry's selection as a third-grade teacher based solely upon his drug conviction.
Berry and Harrington are two of six Cleburne County School employees who are black. The school system employees more than 300 people, she said.
"We're talking about Cleburne County. We're talking about 2012," said Harrington. "If this young man was any other color we wouldn't have this."
Harrington said in keeping with common hiring practices, Berry was selected by the school's principal. Several candidates were interviewed, she said, and Harrington was deemed to be most fit for the job.
Harrington also said that she knew Berry and his family members before he was selected. She said her prior knowledge of Berry and his family was irrelevant and declined to say how she knew the family.
Harrington is currently being sued by the Cleburne County Republican Party and by Jerry Cash, who is running for school board.
Following Berry's drug plea in 2007, he was released from a contract with Oxford City Schools, where he worked as a fourth-grade teacher at Coldwater Elementary School. According to an arbitration document, board members released Berry because they considered his actions immoral and because administrators said they thought parents would not want him to teach their children.
Under Alabama law, teachers can be released from their contracts for "incompetency, insubordination, neglect of duty, immorality, failure to perform duties in a satisfactory manner, justifiable decrease in the number of positions or other good and just cause, but cancellation may but not be made for political or personal reasons."
According to a document from the hearing, the Oxford City School system told Berry that his contract was being terminated because he pleaded guilty to second-degree possession of marijuana. The board wrote to Berry that it considered the behavior immoral, and that on those grounds under title 16-24-8 of the Alabama code, it was terminating his contract.
Berry's legal punishment for the offense was a $50 fee and a suspended jail sentence.
Based on the arbitration document, Berry contends that though he was arrested for second-degree marijuana possession and pleaded guilty to the charge, the school board's decision was too severe.
According to the document, Berry's attorney argued that the board neglected to consider Berry's "teaching proficiency and his popularity as a fourth-grade teacher at Coldwater Elementary School." Berry also contended that the board did not take into consideration the circumstances that resulted in his drug charge.
According to the arbitration document, Berry was unaware of the presence of marijuana in his car in 2007 and found the leafy substance inside his vehicle. According to Berry's statements as recorded in the arbitration document, a passenger in his car placed a small bag of marijuana in the console when officers began to pull the vehicle over. Also according to the document, Berry, for the purpose of giving some money to his son's mother, had just visited a house that was under surveillance for suspected illegal drug sales when he was pulled over.
The passenger then told Berry that the passenger was on probation and that the passenger would go to jail if police knew the drugs belonged to him. Berry alleges in the document that he said he took ownership of the bag of marijuana to keep his passenger from having to go to jail.
The hearing officer said Berry's testimony was not credible and sided with the school board.

The University Choir
The Winston-Salem State University Choir is one of the oldest student organizations on the campus. There is evidence to prove that the institution of the choir predates the Department of Fine Arts/ Music, of which it is now a part. In the illustrious past of the choir, names such as Noah Ryder appear as one of the founding fathers of both the choir and the Department of Music. After Noah Ryder, famous composer and conductor, the choir was led by Dr. James A. Dillard. Other composers/conductors that have continued the unforgettable traditions of the choir have been Dr. Roland Allison, Dr. Permilla Dunston, Dr. Robert Morris, and Dr. James B. Kinchen, Jr.
The University Choir is now under the leadership of D'Walla Simmons Burke. This ensemble has performed commissioned works, such as On Imagination and I Too by Undine Smith Moore, Recent Reflections on Deep River by Michael Williams and Come Sunday arranged by S. Van Dixon. The choir also sings with the Winston-Salem Symphony Orchestra and the Gateways Festival Orchestra when major works are programmed.
In 1993, the choir was invited by the National Black Music Caucus in Nashville, Tennessee, to perform as one of the conference's featured groups. In 1997, The Winston-Salem State University Choir was one of the only university choirs from North Carolina's sixteen (16) state institutions invited to perform during the festivities of the inauguration of Governor James B. Hunt.
November, 2006, members of the University Choir were invited to travel to Prague, Czech Republic and record with the D'vorak Symphony. This choir spent 8 days traveling and performing for international audiences. This choir is often known for its moving renditions of Negro Spirituals and South-African arrangements and is well sought after both nationally and internationally.
