Is Colt McCoy the answer at quarterback?

Posted by HenryJames on December 4th, 2007 under Football

I’m not talking about his performance on the field although that is up for debate.

I’m talking about something much more important. Something that transcends the game of football.

That’s right. I’m talking about his taste in music.

The Statesman asked a group of Austin area athletes in different sports about what songs they find are the best motivators, ‘what they’ve got loaded on their iPods when they work up a sweat.’

McCoy was one of the athletes they asked.

He had two songs tied at the top of his list.

‘I Can Still Make Cheyenne’ by George Strait, and …

Wait for it.

‘She Thinks My Tractor’s Sexy’ by Kenny Chesney.

she likes the way it’s pullin’ while we’re tillin’ up the land…
she’s even kinda crazy ’bout my farmer’s tan…

Are we still sure McCoy is the guy to lead the team?

  1. That is so awful on so many different levels.

  2. I prefer my QBs to have a hint of Yanni in their musical diet.

    And I see that Tony Hills is a big fan of a gentleman named Z-Ro.

    I have always loved me some Heavy Metal. But I’m kinda ok with the evidence here that Country reigns supreme in small town Texas, and that farmers’ kids aren’t all listening to Gansta Rap like their some kind of oppressed inner city subculture, cause their not.

    And as far as real toughness and Judas Priest songs go, I kind of go back and forth about Rob Halford. His favorite band was Queen and he did adopt Freddie Mercury’s leather biker look. So was he mocking metal fans, knowing they had no idea that this look was more Village People than Hell’s Angels, or was he really a tough son of a bitch, to have lasted so long as a gay man in a genre that really doesn’t appreciate that kind of thing.

    I guess on this issue, I swing both ways.

  8. Big George Strait fan, myself. Good for him.

    The tractor deal is just weird, though. I mean, a farm implement as a sex metaphor? Odd, that’s all I can say.

  9. Colt is not old enough to understand the sexual connotations of the song. He really just enjoys the tractor noises placed throughout.

    I’m a huge country fan, and I was devastated to read this. Aside from “Honkytonkbadonkadonk” that is basically the worst song ever released under the veil of country music.

    Somebody buy this kid some Dwight Yoakam.

    Don’t follow basketball as much as you guys do here, but I did watch that game last night. Using my extensive experience in analyzing the sport (next to none) the game felt like it had that “Big Game” feel to it, but somehow it just didn’t turn out that way. Kind of…lackluster?

    We weren’t overly impressive, and at the same time, it may have been this team’s most impressive win. The game didn’t have much rhythm. We never shot it well. In fact, our two best guys can’t be much worse from the field. But damned if we didn’t guard them – especially in that first half.

    Basketball is a simple game of passing,dribbling,catching,shooting and denying the other team from scoring. Simple yet played by chess masters that know what they have (known quantities) in players,chemistry, and heart (will to win).

    Good read, Mike. There’s a lot of truth in there. I do believe that one of the reasons that Florida’s recruiting class was rated so highly is that 100% of their signees were offered scholarships by Florida. If Florida loses interest in a kid, his stock drops a bit. That’s defensible
