The Longhorn Sports Football Network has just announced the following “weakly” schedule of broadcasts. Enjoy Horn fans!

---------

Baylor Monday - “Highlights” of the Horns series with Baylor. These broadcasts are safe for the whole family as UT is never really in danger in any of these.

TCU Tuesday - More “highlights” against a Christian private school. This is spicier than Monday but not much.

SMU Wednesday - More of the same with even bigger beatdowns! (The competitive Pony Express era is not shown because those bastards cheated and we are Texas)

Rice-a-rama Thursday - Watch as tiny Rice student athletes are tossed around the field by gigantic UT brutes. Hilarious!

Freaky Friday - We feature games that were not supposed to be competitive but for which UT was bored and unprepared. Hello K-State, Colorado and the whole Mackovic era!

Horror-show Saturday - Actual competitive games with good teams. Scary! Not sure we have enough of these to fill our fall schedule but we are scanning the archives.

Sunday - in deference to all the religious schools we play we will be off the air.

Well that is too much to ask for, but you have to admit that Colt has the ability to be as good a collegiate passer as VY and Chiles has VY-caliber running skills.

Ok, so don't get me wrong, I am Colt McCoy fan, there is no doubt he has been and will continue to be a star for the Horns. Any problems UT has will not be because of lack of talent at QB.

But...you hear comments from broadcasters that seem to indicate a lack of pro-level arm strength. I know looking at McCoy I am reminded of Steve Walsh, the great collegiate QB at Miami.

Anybody here think he is a strong pro prospect? Is NFL arm strength something you are born with or something you can grow into over a college career?

Smith looked just awful...I guess the heisman has never a great indicator of talent, more a press coverage award.

If I am an NFL GM I draft the LSU kid way before anybody else I saw in the bowl games. I don't predict great NFL careers for Smith, Quinn, or even Leak.

VY is still the player of the decade, which will really start to dawn on the league next year.

I think if Vince stayed in school this team still misses the BCS championship game. I'd be interested in what the rest of the board thinks about that scenario.

In fact, I think if Vince had stayed he would have been screwed out of another Heisman by Troy Smith having a great year on a better team. We would have had the probably the greatest college player of all time with no Heismans and only last year's championship to show for it. And we would be just starting the QB process for next year.

Instead UT has a budding star at QB with three years left to offset the defensive rebuilding needed and another great recruiting class coming in.

Not so bad...

Lets just hope OSU thinks that too.
