Colt McCoy quit drinkin’
Posted by HenryJames on September 5th, 2008 under Football
Today is Colt McCoy’s birthday and also the nine year anniversary of the day he quit drinking…Dr. Pepper.
“My dad challenged me, going in to play football,” he said. “We had this guy motivational speaker come in and said, if you want to be your best, you won’t drink (soda pop). You’ll drink water or Gatorade.”
Can you imagine what type of motivational speaker travels to Tuscola?
It’s doubtful that the Big 12 Conference wants to publicize the fact that McCoy is no longer a Pepper. A couple of weeks ago they extended their sponsorship agreement making Dr. Pepper the official soft drink of the Big 12 through the 2011-2012 athletic year.

mpayne, I’d agree with you if J’Covan had been playing all season and had been in situations to make that decision. Like, you know, against Baylor, when he played all of 3 fucking minutes thanks to rick.
So yes, it is rick’s fault.

With 15 seconds left, out of a dead ball, most coaches would make it perfectly clear who they wanted to be fouled.

Stupid decisions by Brown are one of the reasons he sat on the bench for most of the season…lack of coaching maybe, or just a lack of basketball IQ?
Oh well, if Brown doesn’t go off in the 2nd half, we aren’t even playing in OT. Too bad he didn’t get much of a chance

Pat, if you were making 2 million a year, would you leave that up to chance?

Actually, if your a PG and the best FT shooter on the team and played basketball your entire life, you’d pretty much know not to give up the ball if you had any brains…..Such a dumb play…..

Oh, and a stupid decision by Brown in giving up the ball to Johnson.

Be nice if we’d coached our 90 percent foul shooter not to give the ball up.

Well if you had read it all the way, you would’ve noticed this little tidbit:
In the second part I’ll do my best to give an outline of what exactly is wrong with the program, what we can do to fix it, and then what will probably happen TO fix it.
So to answer your question:

The line kills us, as it should have.
Fuck Rick Barnes, as this was the worst coaching I have seen in all my years of watching UT sports.
This saved us from Kentucky, but I feel bad for Damo, he was a hell of a Longhorn.
Hook ‘em!
And FUCK RICK BARNES!

So the season ends with missed free throws and shitty defense by Bradley. Pretty fitting.

Just one more reason for me to like Colt. I also am a former Dr. Pepper addict – like Colt, I had a sixpack a day habit until I went on the Atkins diet about 8 years ago. I haven’t had one since.

the best part of quitting drinking dr. pepper is having an occastional dr. pepper.
it’s straight out of requiem for a dream.

Ken Stabler, Don Meredith and Billy Kilmer all just committed suicide so they could be buried and then roll over in their graves.

I replaced my 6 pack a day of diet Coke with a fifth of Wild Turkey and my life has become immeasurably better.
