McCoy vs. Tebow

Posted by Doperbo on October 14th, 2008 under Uncategorized

I’m generally immune to internet memes, not sure why, but it makes sense given the hardy ethnic stock in question. Rooting around in bogs for millenia combined with even infrequent ancestral consumption of haggis necessarily renders a hardy constitution, which naturally spills over into other facets of one’s life, like the intergoogle. I have watched Rick Astley a couple of times, but that was in concert, so it doesn’t count. Yesterday Cricketslayer made me watch this one out of sheer intimidation from his handle, and for some reason it struck me, and not solely for the Lou Holtz angry slobberfest. Slobbangry. Slangry. If I was on the set I would totally start using that. “Dude, don’t say that – seriously, your going to get Lou all slangry.” Try it with a drawl. Slangry.

Anyway, that’s not the point. If Florida fans dream about Lou leaning over them while they sleep and softly slispering tebow… tebow… into a puddle in their ear and wake up screaming that isn’t my problem. I can’t fix the world. But there is a bigger issue here that needs to be addressed, something that needs to be said, and I’m afraid we’re the only legitimate news outlet that has the journalistic integrity to do it.

Why is everyone comparing Colt and Tim in the first place?

Whew. That felt good. It’s not even that they run completely different offenses in different conferences. I’m cool with that. My real issue, and more importantly, is why we have to choose sides? That doesn’t really seem fair. What about those of us who like both? I mean really like them, in that I think Colt McCoy is the avatar of St. Paul and Lee Majors and I like Tim Tebow almost as much as scally does, which is even more than I like Colt. Transitively it’s a tie. This is absolutely gut wrenching, and it has to stop. Remember Rick and A.J.? They were totally different, and fought all the time, yet also cool and solved crimes together. Why can’t it be like that?

Colt can be whichever one is cooler, so maybe Tim (Rick) has the mustache. But that guy kicked ass, which would be Colt, so that doesn’t really work. So Tim can be A.J., who was really smart and polished. Wait. I guess I hadn’t really thought this through. This is messing with my head.

In any event, if we’re going to be forced to choose between them we shouldn’t we at least pick our own criteria, stuff we believe in, stuff that matters? Half of the arguments I’ve seen involved nothing but useless stats, which only tell part of the story, the field part. Falls a little short, doesn’t it? Misses the big picture entirely. I pasted some from the NCAA stats site to prove to you how inscrutable they are. Who’s the better passer… who’s the better rusher…. who’s to say? colt for both Shut up. I’m trying to make a point. It’s more than winning percentages. Come on people. Is that all you really care about?

See, I bet you can’t even read that. I made it and I can’t. It’s unselfinscrutable. Which is a word I made up, in case Lou reads this, and someone is there to catch it on tape. Just kidding Lou. I like you, I wouldn’t keep you up ’til 1 am and give you antihistamines known to cause paradoxical agitation in the elderly like ESPN did. I’m your friend. Say unselfinscrutable just once. Say it.

In any event it doesn’t seem so clear now does it, statswise. In lieu of an actual formatting table for stats, here are the real categories- the QB qualities that actually matter.

1. Guttiness
2. Clutchosity
3. Smile
4. Aroma
5. Powers of Christianity

Scipio made me put the last one in.

1. Guttiness

    Tebow acounted for something like 23 rushing touchdown last year, often against stacked short yardage SEC defenses who where gunning for him, and manned up to get it done.

    McCoy drinks a gallon of milk every day.

    ADVANTAGE- McCoy.

    A gallon of milk? Actual milk. WTF, man? I mean I like it, but I’m not trying to support the entire Wisconsin dairy industry. You realize just about everyone on earth is at least a little lactose intolerant, right? Since McCoy’s intestines are actually under assault, probably as we speak, I’m going to have to give him the guttiness edge.

2. Clutchosity

    McCoy Has led 7 fourth quarter comebacks, including some impressive feats of clutch- Nebraska, Tech, Ok State, Oklahoma… Colt has clearly proven that you can put the game on his shoulders and he can win the big one.

    Tebow’s girlfriend has big ones.

tim

    ADVANTAGE- Tebow.

    Another meme I seem to lack immunity to, and with all due respect to Colt, and knowing full well how intense the Oklahoma pass rush is, I can’t even imagine the game it’d take to walk up on that. Even as the quarterback at Florida, that’s daunting. If he said ten words before blurting out boobies! the guy is clutch.

3. Smile

tim
colt

    ADVANTAGE- Tie.

    h/t to Deadspin for the Tebow pic, but this one’s too close to call. I don’t usually look at dudes. And the Gladiatory costume kinda freaks me out. See I mispelled Gladiatory. That’s from being freaked out. Anyway, HenryJames and CrazyJoe have a side debate on this one which might be the swing vote. So to speak.

4. Aroma

    Tebow was born in the Phillipines, a location synonymous with dubious hygiene, and currently lives in a mosquito infested swamp full of half sunken meth labs and runaway alligators, at least according to COPS. I’ve never been there.

    Colt hails from the clean and breezy steppes of north/west Texas, and his ears smell like sunshine.

    ADVANTAGE- Colt.

5. Powers of Christianity

    Colt is a functional Mennonite, he’s never had anything stronger than his momma’s coffee and wakes up every morning singing a psalm with his arms clasped over his head in joy. Osteen thinks he’s edgy.

    Tim’s dad was a minister. Legacy.

    ADVANTAGE- Tebow.

Wow that was harder than I thought. At least we cleared some things up. I feel like we made some real progress today. Tomorrow we’ll tackle the SEC vs Eisenhower’s post war staff decisions- subcategory, Is Mark Richt’s offense more futile than the Morgenthau Plan?

    Thank you for adding powers of Christianity to your criteria. I’ve gotten in trouble before asking interview candidates that question, but I think it’s valid. I slide them a notecard and say, “List me your powers.” If the powers are pagan, so be it. But I want SOME powers of some variety.

    Given that Colt has led 7 4th quarter comebacks for victory and Tebow none, I think it’s fairly clear who has The Glow.

    The contest is sort of like a modern rendition of the old David vs. Goliath theme and, with regard to this particular contest, I would say that the more things change, the more things stay the same. I would take Colt to sling a clay pellet smack between Tebow’s eyes.

    Aside from that imagery, in the football category, I would say that Colt is clearly better than Tebow. Florida would be a better team with McCoy under center rather than Tebow, although the Gators might look a bit less Philistine. Possibly alot of the struggles of the Gators may actually be due to shoddy play at the QB position.

    Now, I don’t know Tebow in personal or anything and I have never spoken to him in person, but I gotta a suspicion that one of the problems this white but foreign born prototype of a college QB has is that he may not be all that up above the shoulders. In other words, I am saying that he may just be dumb as a rock or a dinosaur or a dodo bird or, maybe, a male underwear model. I mean look at that f*cking smile of his. Am I the only one who sees stupid written all over and behind that All-American smirk of his? I mean has anyone ever met someone with a “I am dumb” smile like that who did not meet expectations and actually turned out to be not stupid?

    Tebow does have the described stupid smile. I can see him with eyes squinted and surrounded by deep red as he tries to suppress a guffaw in the aisle of an airliner after accidentally farting into the face of an old lady sitting in an aisle seat. I see that red-eyed, red-browed, near-exploding face for the duration of the flight as he trembles mirthfully in his seat. “Funniest thing ever. And I seen Jeff Foxwordy on the TV!”

    Further, I have to ask, wouldn’t such an event indicate that just maybe you’ve overrated his powers of Christianity? Surely Colt, in the same situation, could lay hands on the cloud and maketh the odor diminish.

  11. Bill Nye said:

    Colt is obviously genetically superior since he can digest that much cow teat juice with no consequences besides a winning smile and gleaming hair.

    Colt wins. It is SCIENCE!

    Comparing quarterbacks without mentioning championships? Tebow has an SEC and national title… Colt played very well in the Holiday Bowl last year.

    Yea, the above is an avoidable plus in Goliath’s corner, but then it’s not like he did that alone without a good supporting cast or carried his team on his back to victory in the MNC games like VY did in the Rose Bowl. On the other side of the coin, at the present moment, if Colt can look so all world with the set of overachieving skill players he has now, just imagine how much he could light it up with the speed of light skill players Tebow has surrounding him – think about that. When you consider the blazing f*cking speed surrounding stone age man, it does sort of make you wonder if it is not Tebow’s cave man level of intelligence which is holding the Gator’s back on occasion. I mean, what else could it be? The man is built like a football god, so the other plausible althernative and guess would be that the man is dumb as shat.

    And also, yea, I’ve got to give credit where credit is due. I gotta admit, I figure I’d also have such a stupid smirk on my face too if I was so lucky enough to be standing next to a set of boobies like that and, even more so, if I was as tall as him, so that I could look down her shirt while she was not looking. But then I’ve also heard that those wa wa boobies might just belong to his sister, and so, if that is the case, then I guess I would have to take a little bit of that credit back. Sister or no sister, it’s hard to fault any man for smiling like a goofyball when in a vicinity of a pair of boobies like that. I mean, I’ve never had a sister, but if I did, I wouldn’t be cursing God and losing my faith, if she turned out to end up with a pair of overflowing melons like Tebow’s sis.

    Oh by way, since Tebow is always going off on a mission, could it be that Tebow is really a Mormon on the low down. I could see why some folks would want to keep that on low down. Maybe that pic is just one of those everyday, normal, run of the mill, cozy Mormon family pics of a normal, run of the mill Mormon family get together and gathering.

  14. Hippie Killer said:

    October 14th, 2008 at 1:32 pm

    Colt kind of looks like Luke Skywalker in that picture.

    If that is Tebow’s Sister, well then shi-eut! I’d lock his parents in a room and tell them not to come out until they reproduce enough daughters for every Longhorn Fan in Texas.

    “Comparing quarterbacks without mentioning championships? Tebow has an SEC and national title… Colt played very well in the Holiday Bowl last year.”

    Tebow threw 1 pass for 1 yard….lol

    He was more a running back in those days, rushing 10 times for 39 yards. Chris Leak was the Qaut-A-Back for that game. Since he has been “the man” he has gone 14-5. In that same time Colt is 16-3.

  16. steven said:

    October 14th, 2008 at 2:07 pm

    You know, now that I think about, I would be smiling like a full blown dumbshat too, if I was Mormon and had a sister with overflowing melons like that. Who wouldn’t be? Maybe this secret is out and this is why Utah is said to be one of the fastest growing states in the Union. Also, they say that Utah has one of the lowest rates of depression, heart disease, other general health issues, and suicides. Just maybe all these good happenings have one thing in common: cute sisters with big overflowing melons. I know if I was a prof., I would love to get a grant and due a factfinding, multi-year study on the matter. Hell, along the way, who knows, I might just find a cure for cancer.

    That’s because humans don’t have any restraint or any kind of self-control. They see a beautiful woman and like Mountain Lions they go in for the kill. Which brings me back to sports. Manning went in for the kill, yesterday. It was ALL his doing. Now if Zarell retires because of his knee, at least he is retiring while still on top. I just hope he doesn’t tarnish his image by becoming one of those “celebrities”…please don’t!

    I can understand your frustration because you want people to level with you and noone seems to muster up enough courage to really level with you. One can only imagine what it must be like to be you. I wouldn’t take it so personal, though. People behave that way when confronting something totally new and unexpected. Dry your tears, hang in there. I’m going to pray for you, brother. I am going to shower you with prayer and peace. That is all I know when confronting something such as this. You confront unknown/evil with love and peace.

However, you can have organ failure as a direct result and be brought back for a 2nd chance, DR. THAT’S NOT UNHEARD OF. I guess you have 2 first names to distinguish you from all of those other so-called “kings”. Plus its a Jewish name and a Christian name, that’s why there are so many kings.

The hospital was right there and they would send all of their no hope patients to the motel to die. They were dying to check in-they never checked out. That being said, as an unemployed part-time motel clerk, I feel I am highly qualified to give a little career advice to Mountain Lions Eli-on and Peyt(li)on Manning- keep giving it all you’ve got!

    And why have we gone 9-1?

    Because of a 1-0 loss. Pitching clearly let us down in that one.

    17 strikeouts is incredible at any level of baseball. I still think the hitting will come around.

    College baseball.

    He’s a witch. Last night he struck out 17 Iowa batters in only 7 1/3 innings of work. And got a no decision. More on that later. He’s filled out his frame and is no longer all arms and legs like he was last year. His fastball has gotten, uh, faster, and last night

    There are some some mighty good points and spectacular literary references in this thread, but I can’t remember a single one because one poster had to reference the Listeater and another one had to drop a neutron bomb.

    I think I would rather watch Precious & Monique rub one out together than watch our first round

    Loss in Waco = Loss in Kansas City

    A valiant effort by the Bears tonight, but alas, we lost.

    To win tonight, we need to knock down our free throws, limit K State’s 2nd chance opportunities by keeping them off the offensive glass, and take care of the ball on the offensive end. If K State gets

    Jacob Pullen and Denis Clements aren’t quite good enough to win games by themselves.
    But they have no problems keeping the Wildcats competitive while their teammates are struggling. The top backcourt duo in the Big 12, and maybe the nation, scored 27 of Kansas State’s 36 points in a hard-fought first half against a red-hot Baylor

    Cleveland, Ohio safety Latwan Anderson signed with the Miami Hurricanes last week. Rivals.com ranked Anderson as the 15th best player in the class of 2010 and the number 1 player in the state of Ohio.

    Landing Anderson adds a little luster to what was otherwise a rather disappointing recruiting class for a school

    I’m thinking that the freshmen all return and Travelocity will have grown taller to be 5′ 5.5″ without his lifts.

    We get Ward ,Dog, and Ipower’s kid back plus add Tristan.

    Everybody comes back and we have a large cluster fuck rotation again. Barnes will try getting a tall white stiff hot for the season.

    Pretty lucky day so far with the Evan’s bomb to keep the future bet alive and then the two overs Diego is talking about.

    Looks like we’ll split the Byu and Washington overs. Profitable day and a lucky one at that. I’ll take it.

    this blog takes offense to name calling such as “professional” but “dorky” is ok

    the odd thing about the Simmons/KO feud is that I like them both. I read Simmons every week and I miss the Dan & Keith SC glory days.
