Colt McCoy & Garrett Gilbert In Columbus

Posted by Scipio Tex on February 18th, 2009 under Football, Recruiting

If video doesn’t play: the Colt video.

Our Longhorns, current and future, racked up some hardware recently. GG was awarded National High School Player of the Year. Colt McCoy won the Archie Griffin Award. Tim Tebow won Salvation for us all with His death on the cross.

Observations:

- Colt’s first question to Gilbert, “How does it feel to follow in the foosteps of… Vince Young?” Money.

- Colt’s subtle mocking of Gilbert’s sincere and earnest answers is just tremendous

- The Sopranos suit – silver-grey tie, black shirt, tan suit – is how they roll in Tuscola

- Case Keenum and Kellen Moore look like 8th graders standing next to McCoy; how did the Big 12 North let their squatty magnificence get away?

- “Sweet” is Colt’s favorite adjective. I thought it would be mothafuckin’

- As the camera pans to Thaddeus Gibson, you can hear Colt whisper to Garrett Gilbert, “Hey, golden boy, get The Colt a Dewars, one icecube, double. Run. I said, run!”

    If Colt takes G. Gilbert fishing I’m going to beat some ass. No one “fishes” with Colt like I do.

    God I miss me some Vince Young, now that was “BIG fishing”

    Colt speaking to Kellen Moore: “How many of your guys were on the team when y’all beat OU in the Fiesta Bowl? (then Colt to the audience) “We like that.”

    Allsome.

    Was the boise state qb a texas native or did colt just interview him because BSU beat OU 2 years ago?

    What is more surprising going into the 4th year of the McCoy Era?

    1) McCoy is a national title away from being the best QB in Horns football history?

    2) McCoy is hamming it up in front of the camera at an awards banquet and interviewing all the athletes there, and is fairly good at it?

    The latter. He was just indulging a little Sooner ribbing.

    The General:

    Exactly. Who knew that Colt had a subversive streak? He’s like a Tuscolan Richard Pryor.

    Don’t let that baby face fool you, Colt has drank himself some chocolate milk before.

    Colt should stick to throwing and running the football…his interviewing skills make me look like Tim Russert :)

    Well, he could also get tips from his girlfriend on how to make his voice more interesting during the interview too…

    Scipio,

    You’re write ups are among the most entertaining sports offerings around – internet or otherwise. But your “Tim Tebow won Salvation for us all with His death on the cross” comment was beyond the pale.

    Expressing disagreement or disdain w/his public Christian stance(s) or persona is one thing.

    Doing such via sacrilegious caricature of one of Christiandom’s core tenants is another.

    That said, thank you for all you do to make Barking Carnival all that it is to Longhorn and sports fandom.

  12. Scipio Tex said:

    palmetto:

    First, thanks for writing that.

    I was mocking the media’s deification of Tebow; not mocking Tim or Christianity. I think Tebow is legitimately a great guy and his beliefs are heartfelt, but I can do without the media idolatry. As could Tebow.

    ““Very truly, I tell you, servants are not greater than their master, nor are messengers greater than the one who sent them. If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them.”

    Got a little time this morning and I’m rearing to talk some football.  Here’s what the depth chart looks like headed into spring and a few thoughts:

    lawdog – on the topic of regression, this crew can’t compare with the senior seasons Thomas and Atchley put up. Something ain’t right in this scenario. Mason topped out his sophomore year and Pittman last year.

    I suppose anyone could be your “favorite Longhorn basketball player” but Ford did more than just about anyone…although Durant is clearly better. Ford’s supporting cast was better than Durant’s in his sophomore year. Durant’s had more talent (Augustin, James, Abrams) but Ford’s was more developed (Boddicker, Ivey, Mouton, Thomas) and had worked with him for

  • Nickel Rover commented on the blog post Bradley or Hamilton?   7 hours, 50 minutes ago

    This notion of Hamilton as being a disaster area on defense is all a bit much. He rebounds extremely well which, if it wasn’t obvious, is extremely important in this game since it secures possession of the basketball. Winning in basketball is achieved through the scoring of baskets and it’s necessary to possess the basketball

    I posted earlier about how Collins’ effort just crippled Kansas today, but what amazed me the most was his complete inability to stay in front of his man on defense. UNI got a LOT of good looks out of penetration/pass after one of UNI’s modestly gifted athletes blew right by Sherron. The best
