Texas gets cheated not once, not twice, but 3Xs?

WOW.


After the tiebreak for the Big 12 Championship, getting boxed out of the National Championship and now the Heisman?


This is something else.


I seriously do not know what the Heisman voters are thinking, I mean, really?


You give it to Oklahoma’s own sophomore QB Sam Bradford?


He’s now the second consecutive sophomore to win the award with Tim Tebow winning in ’07.


Alright, sure, he’s got the stats; 42 TD/6 INTs, and also Zero-U’s put up 60+ points the last 5 games they played, including the Big 12 Championship. [The first time Texas gets cheated out because of the tie-break rule.] Yeah, I’ll give him and his team that.


But when you look at Colt McCoy, he’s done the most with the least around him; the supporting cast is great at what they do; Senior WRs Jordan Shipley and Quan Cosby, and the RBs-by-committee. They don’t have the big names like what Bradford’s got for the Sooners and last year’s Heisman winner Tim Tebow; he’s got plenty of big names with big talent.


Back to what I said about the Sooners getting over 60+ points their last 5; if that’s what the Heisman voters based it on, along with his season;


Here’s something to think about.


Flashback: October 11, 2008; Texas beats OU, 45-35.


‘Nuff said.


Did the “magical” OU-offense score their 60 on us? NOPE. Sure didn’t. As a matter of fact, Texas’ defense was the only team on OU’s schedule to hold them that low.


So c’mon now. Give the Longhorns more credit. They’re obviously not getting enough they deserve.


And if you bring up the Texas Tech situation; stop. There’s nothing you can really say to save them; they beat Texas, yeah, but a last second TD/potential game-winning INT dropped.


But then Tech loses to the same team that Texas beat by 40, FORTY.


That’s why they’re where they’re at and settling for a non-BCS bowl; the Cotton Bowl to be exact. I remember when the days when Texas hardly ever got over the hump beating zero-U, having to go to the Cotton Bowl year after year. Which by the way was SO lame.


Back to basics; so yeah, about Tech; where does that leave them? No where in sight.


And where does that make Texas? A WHOLE lot better than Tech, and obviously better than OU with the win over them; “45-35, lest we forget…” It’s practically like Texas had a beat-down of the Red Raiders in spirit, along with the Sooners manhandling them.


Tim Tebow of Florida, on the other hand, his stats aren’t as gaudy as last year’s Heisman campaign; the numbers have gone down quite a bit. But his confidence level’s shot out through the roof.


That’s all cool and all, but through it all, Colt’s more deserving. The guy’s broken practically all of the school QB records; leads the nation in pass completion percentage with about 78%, beating out Daunte Culpepper’s record back when he was at UCF. [Now at Detroit Lions.], now that’s uncanny accuracy.


He [McCoy] makes so many plays with his feet; extending plays i.e. Tony Romo of the Cowboys, and he’d find the open man. If that’s not the case, he tucks the ball in and goes for the run. He’s also gained a lot more muscle so he can take a hit, and he can definitely deliver one, as well.


Bradford doesn’t get that chance to do that at OU; great pocket makes him have practically all the time in the world, and Tebow’s certainly capable of the double threat of the pass/run; he just doesn’t do it as great as Colt does.


Now if you told me to compare McCoy and Tebow last year, I’d go with Tebow, especially when Colt had a definite sophomore slump. That’s IF it was last year. And he’s [Tebow] not a Heisman winner this year.


And here’s another theory I thought about in favor of Colt McCoy; the voters normally place their vote on how the team and the nominated player has faired in the season; so basically if either Texas, Oklahoma, or Florida was undefeated, that QB for the school gets the Heisman.


Texas is closer being undefeated than Florida and Oklahoma.


All three teams have one loss.


1) Oklahoma lost to Texas 45-35, so that’s totally understandable. That’s their one loss.


2) Florida lost by one against Ole Miss earlier in the season. That one point was off of a missed extra point to tie.


3) Texas lost to Texas Tech off of a last second TD; also by a seal-the-deal dropped INT by true freshman Blaine Gideon.


So what I came with is that Texas is closer to be undefeated than OU and Florida.


Oklahoma, you guys lost by 10 on a neutral field.


And as for Florida, you guys did lose by one; Texas did not against Tech, 39-33. One point vs. 6 points. You give it to Florida margin of defeat, right?


You’re wrong.


Texas also lost by a dropped INT, if that ball is caught, they win the game and there wouldn’t be a controversy with us UT fans talking about getting playoff system implemented, as Barack Obama once said on an interview. Along with the Longhorns getting an automatic birth to the BCS National Championship game in Miami. Got to settle with the Fiesta Bowl down in Glendale, Arizona.


So since Texas basically lost by a dropped interception, not once, but twice, [Another player nearly brought one in before Gideon’s drop.] that’s a whole lot closer to winning than TYING the game up with an extra point –


That was BLOCKED. Not just missed off the crossbars, not wide left or right, but being blocked.


There you have it. I stated all the right reasons why Texas’ Colt McCoy should’ve gotten the Heisman; wasn’t fair for Bradford and Tebow to state their cases for the award by getting another game to show their stuff with conference championship games; McCoy had to make his last case by a 40-3 win on Thanksgiving Day vs. rival Texas A&M.


But hey, watch out for next year – “the real McCoy”’s coming back for his Senior year.


“Hail, hail, the gang’s all here, and it’s goodbye to all the rest!”
