h/t to our friend cowboy in the UT Tailgaters Batcave for uncovering this post from SEC land:

Colt and MNC Prediction

Selected quotes:

• Tim Tebow won the 2007 Heisman Trophy. Sam Bradford won it in 2008. Both are still playing college football. Neither will win the 2009 Heisman. Colt McCoy will.

• The national championship game will be staged in Pasadena. One of the qualifiers will enter unbeaten and ranked No. 1 and hugely favored to claim a second consecutive BCS title. Yes, this is beginning to sound like January 2006 all over again, and here’s where it gets eerie. Because …

• The team awaiting this colossus will again be Texas, which will again be undefeated itself and which will again be afforded little chance. And again the Longhorns will win a game for the ages, with their quarterback (McCoy this time, channeling Vince Young) outplaying the other team’s star (Tebow in this case; in 2006 the bigger names were Reggie Bush and Matt Leinart of Southern Cal). The final score will again be 41-38. I apologize for not being more specific.

I’m sure Colt just wants to win ‘em all. Still, I’m rooting for him to take home some nice hardware as a result of winning them all. Like most, a few years back I assumed he was a scout team quarterback and was really lamenting the Perriloux situation on all levels. Amazing what this kid and his coaches have achieved.

Had we pulled that Tech (f dedfischer) game out, he’s holding that trophy and facing off against The Tebow.

That said I don’t for a second think that this nation’s sports writing Illuminati will hesitate to award The Tebow the Heisman for a second time. He’s anointed. He’s also a hell of a good college football player. The fact that he cries at press conferences like Bernie Bernbaum helps too.

Anyway, a bit of football talk in the midst of Horns hardball heroics. f Chooky for being so indolent.

    Tebow won’t be the first returning Heisman winner to not snag the award a second time.

    I heart Pasadena in January.

    Tebow’s season will be ruined in a crisis of Christian confidence when he accepts hand release from his fellow counselor, a half-Philipino coed named Romeo, on his summer mission. You just can’t store up all that junk and have it not affect you.

    My prediction is that Tebow’s “gayness” will be revealed in the fall and that he will bow to pressure and remove his name from the Heisman list. (For all you dumbass okies out there, I will translate for you). Tebow will suck next year and not be invited to the Heisman awards. Also, his team will not be in the Natl. Championship game.
    Meanwhile, Colt wins the Heisman and destroys USC for the MNC.

    It’s not mythical when Texas wins it.

    Look into your heart!

    What kind of sheeny name is Bernbaum, anyway?

    Wouldn’t surprise me if Colt flies all the way to Pasadena this year. Then again, he might get clocked on an unnecessary zone-read or quarterback draw.

    1970 just called and would like to have a word with you.

    1970 will have to wait, as I think 1997 is still on hold.

    Colt is going to have to channel himself some Vince Young all year long and completely blow those other two guys out of the water stats wise if he wants that Heisman.

    There are sports writers in SEC country (Mark Schlabach from ESPN being one of them) that basically admitted last season they were voting Tebow #1 regardless before the season was even close to being over.

    I guess Colt DOES need to act like a prima donna and call a presser in front of the nation’s sports writers and pull out his propaganda speech talking about how he’ll play harder, push his teammates harder, blah blah blah.

    Of course, if he did that I’d lose all respect for him like I have for Saint Tebow.

    1970? Uh-oh. Coincidences can occur.

    It’s unfortunate but there is no way that UF goes undefeated and Tebow does not win the Heisman. Even if he has unimpressive stats his alleged “leadership” will be enough for writers to fawn over. In general I dislike Florida and most of their players but I kinda feel for their defense and Percy Havin who were actually the keys to their success last year while Tebow was showered with unwarranted adulation.

    Go Horns

    Politics always enters into it. Then Tebow & Colt bring Christianity to the game. Gives me a damn headache.

    I normally like watching the SEC on CBS on Saturday afternoons but I think I will have to watch all Florida games on mute. Gary Danielson had such a huge Tebowner during the SEC championship that it would have taken slamming his tebowner in a door to cure his problem. He was comparing his Tebowner to Bronco Nagurski and any other perceived great player to proclaim that his Tebowner was the best of all time. This also goes for some at ESPN. Announce the game fellas please don’t show us your Tebowners this season.

    I currently can’t disagree with any of this. Kevin Wilson, James Patton, and Roids McPsycho are currently running the OL two deep through the annual agoge, guaranteeing that OU won’t have a competent OL until 2010. Golden.

    This is good news for UT, because it means the glaring deficiency at defensive tackle will go entirely unnoticed due to Muschamp’s far superior gameplanning until UT heads to Stillwater.

    As much as I loathe the over hyping of Tebow, I am very happy that he brought us the term Tebowner and the mental imagery contained therein. This is a worthy consolation prize.

    There is a note about Seastrunk’s recent trip to auburn in this link. He looks headed that way, but i guess you never really can tell.
