Will Colt have his number retired?

run Bevo run — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 04:09:52 -0000

While watching the new intro video for this season, I wondered whether Colt should/would have his number placed amongst the untouchables.

The unlikely star from tiny Tuscola certainly has became a favorite with all Longhorns. Seemingly daily his legend grows. He is a kid you would love for your daughters to date and for your sons to emulate. He says all of the right things, he makes all the right steps, he doesn't shy away from being the face of ~~one of~~ the most prominent collegiate teams in the nation, and he has time to visit children in the hospital. Even the enemy likes him. When Superman was going for the corner, few thought the transition would be as seamless as it was. But the kid smiled, accepted the challenge, and worked his way into the starting job.

He's no slouch with a football in his hands either. His stats are ~~impeccable~~ record breaking. He's an obvious front runner for the Heisman trophy and repeat winner of the Walter Camp award. He leads his offense on the field with the command of a general, he backs his defense with unwavering support.

So the question is, has Colt done enough to retire #12 for good? Does he have to win the BCS Championship to be considered for the honor? He qualifies using the old standards of having to have won a player of the year award. But, has he done enough to be enshrined with Bobby Layne's #22, Tommy Nobis's #60, Earl's #20, Ricky's #34, and VY's #10?

Memphis to vacate wins

So about that loss last year...

Wake me when Terrelle Pryor's fake 40 time eclipses speed of sound

Wake me when Terrelle Pryor's fake 40 time eclipses speed of sound

Is Terrelle Pryor's time believeable? Obviously the kid is a super athlete. It seemed when VY got top end speed, he was rarely caught from behind. But going through the links Hinton posted, it seems a bit stretched. I just don't see Pryor at 6'6'' 235 physically being able to post 4.33. What do you think?

Festivus in August, Airing of Grievances

Bumped from the Fan Posts. -PB-

So, with the season fast approaching and seeing all of the posts going up about what's going to be awesome this year, who is going to step up, the similarities between this year and the '05 year, and the Colt for Heisman talk, I feel it's time to practice a little August Fesitvus. As I see it, these are the things that will inevitably happen throughout the year that will cause me to facepalm. I wanted to float it out there so when the time comes, we can have all of our kinks worked out and be prepared to move on to the Feats of Strength and pinning someone in the MNC game.

Frank Costanza: The tradition of Festivus begins with the Airing of Grievances. I got a lot of problems with you people! And now, you're gonna hear about it. You, Kruger. My son tells me your company STINKS!

George Costanza: Oh, God.

Grievance #1: Colt McCoy and Jordan Shipley are roommates and fishing buddies

Come on announcer guy, we know the story. We. All. Know. The. Story. Just stop it already.

Grievance #2 : On own 20, 1st &10 - zone read, gain of 8. 2nd & 2 - WR screen, loss of 6. 3rd & 8 - draw play, gain of 5. 4th &3 - punt, Longhorn fans facepalm.

Perhaps I'm calming as I age, maybe getting a little wiser. I can see the Greg Davis argument from both sides now and tend to lean that he is an effective coordinator that spaces out a couple of offensive series per game. The series I presented will happen, we will all collectively have a "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot" moment, Will Muschamp will send out Sergio to give us a Boom MFer and the world will be right again.

Grievance #3: I'm sorry but you'll see this over and over until Sept. 20, 2009

Texas Tech Game-Winning TD Michael Crabtree (via nohomoguys)

I can fully erase this from my mind with complete, total, undeniable thrashing on September 19 of the Lubbock Tortilla throwers.

Grievance #4: Red River Rivalry

It is and forever will be the Red River Shootout. If you want to make it "PC", take your media butts back to your none offensive world and leave us alone. We've done it fine for 108 years thank you very much. BTW, that's 58-40-5 and OU sucks.

Grievance #5: Open Threads

The ass-hatery of open threads and the trigger finger of insults comes with the territory and it's pretty douchish. Louisiana-Monroe is probably going to get a first down on us at some point in 31 Days and a couple of hours, but it doesn't mean Will Muschamp is over-rated or that we should switch to a 3-4. Seat belt yourselves to the bandwagon and enjoy the ride, it's going to be a fun one.

I can think of a few more but I'd like for everyone to get a chance to Air their Grievances before the Feats of Strength begin in 31 days. Happy Festivus in August. Texas Fight.

Myron Rolle is impressive

Myron Rolle is impressive

The more I hear about this kid, the more I'm impressed. You just don't hear enough good stories like this.
I found this to be particularly impressive. "For the time being, they're funded through donations to the Rolle Foundation, with strong support from the locals, who have already guaranteed five acres of land and a minimum of red tape, and a commitment from Florida State to operate an exchange program with FSU med students when the clinic opens in two or three years."
Good job FSU supporting this. If only Bowden could find more of these types of guys and less of his usual types.
