How Colt McCoy spent his spring break
Posted by HenryJames on June 12th, 2008 under Football
While most college football players spent their spring breaks partaking of some type of sun-drenched debauchery, Texas quarterback Colt McCoy spent his helping poor kids in Peru.
Wait. What?
He spent a weeklong Christian mission at a rural village in the Peruvian jungle. He read them Bible stories and taught them how to play football. In their first game, they lost 77-0 to the Shining Path.
“If you call another 3 yard out, these kids are going to kill us!”
Not surprising McCoy would do something like this. He’s a big believer in community service. He’s worked as a phone operator during the Children’s Miracle Network telethon, he visits the children’s hospital and has done volunteer work for Habitat for Humanity. He even helped an underprivleged Kansas State defense by giving them 4 interceptions.
I kid. He’s a great representative of the school and football program.

Kid seems like a fantastic collegiate player. I haven’t seen any NBA info. Is he a legit prospect?

KSU moving on led by a hot shooting Pullen. BTW, White Mormons can shoot FTs. 22 for 25, I think. Imagine if we could shoot like that.
Wake’s coming back on Kentucky. They’re within 25 right now…..

Just wanted to say I feel for you guys. As a Texas fan I know how this feels even if it’s from a football perspective.
I still think you’re the best basketball team in the country, and unfortunately you ran into a team that packed a Villanova circa 1985 type game today. Meaning they

Wow. Wake won’t break 50. Not surprising really — we should have beaten Wake and they are not a very good team.

We really struggled in the first half, but battled through it to get a tough win against Jacksonville. On to Oxford!
Forget what conference they play in, Jacksonville is a very good basketball team, and they got to Lubbock not because of a crazy bank shot at the buzzer in Phoenix, but by playing aggressive, intense defense for

BTW — is that a white power tattoo on Sasquatch’s right shoulder.
Or is it one of those “native american” side of the van spray paint jobs? Either way it’s better than Luke Walton’s dancing bear.

Yeah, Baylor – St. Mary will be good. I hate Drew, but he’s a good coach.
Self’s players choked. But Northern Iowa is a much, much better team than I thought.

CJD,
I’m not sure if it’s the worst job, but it’s the most disappointing ending. Talking heads are already calling it the most shocking (i.e. worst) loss in the tournament ever. 05-06, Kansas went down in the first round, but nothing like this……Can we at least call it the worst choke job ever to

If anyone in the BC bracket called this game they should immediately be hired as an assistant coach. Because that would be an act of pure witchcraft.

Huskies putting the finishing touches on Steve Alford’s feathers.

I heard Colt and the Peruvian kids threw the football around a little bit. Unfortunately, Colt kept throwing it to the Bolivian kids.

It’s now 2nd nature to Peruvian kids to drop to their knees clutching their head in pain while being ignored by their offensive line.

There’s gotta be a Perriloux, casinos and underprivileged fill-in-the-blank (cocktail waitress?) joke in there somewhere. Unfortunately I’m not up to the task.

Peruvians are a waste of time. Colt needs to haul his goody two-shoes ass down to Rio de Janeiro next spring break and save the souls of about a baker’s dozen Brazilian-bikini-clad beach chicas. Me and the boyz are pretty damned sick of all the feathered hair, poofy-sleeves polygamist types.

I heard he swam across Machu Picchu Lake to save an elderly tribesman from a heart attack. When he returned to climb the cliff, he sorely realized “ambulance” isn’t in the Peruvian dictionary.
