Chisoxfn Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 QUOTE (SoxFan1 @ Jan 8, 2010 -> 04:23 PM) He couldn't have come in in any capacity at all? Even run an option or a shovel pass? Nothing? Hell, even a decoy. I know if I was a player on Texas, I'd still feel a bit slighted. And I know for a fact that there are at least a few guys on that team who aren't the biggest McCoy fans right now. It's going to be annoying listening to people suck his dick for a while. Dude, if you can't throw a 7 yard pass there is pretty little value in you. Clearly he can't play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly he can't play. People keep saying McCoy was less hurt than he was, as he didn't want to return to the game and hurt his draft stock. It's likely the exact opposite, and his injury is more severe than they're letting on but he wants to rehab it as much as he can prior to the combine.

Balta1701 Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 QUOTE (dasox24 @ Jan 8, 2010 -> 05:09 PM) Why the hate for Pete Carroll? He's awesome. Cocky as s*** and backs it up. Plus, he has a sense of humor unlike a lot of over-the-top, too serious coaches out there. He'd be an awesome coach to play for. Because I'm also convinced he's a dirty recruiter.

nitetrain8601 Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Yeah, it's pretty poor for people to be calling out Colt. I wasn't his biggest fan, but clearly, if you can't throw a 7 yard pass, you're not going to make it. I applaud him for doing his darnest to get Gilbert ready for the 2nd half. He had confidence in Garrett when Garrett didn't have any. It was a great game and both QB's did all they could. I wanted Alabama to win before the game started, but I kind of wish it was given to Texas after the fact. I also think the injury is much more major than what Colt is letting on. He said it didn't hurt, just felt numb. His coaches and almost everyone at Texas didn't want him to play so he didn't hurt his draft status. They were even saying this on the telecast. I would feel the same as Colt. He worked 4 hard years for that game and it was ripped away like Tonya Harding hitting Nancy Kerrigan with a lead pipe.

It's been described as if you slept on your arm all night, and being that I do that all the time and I have s***ty circulation, I understand. Sometimes I cant open a door when I wake up in the morning. McCoy has been a warrior in the NCAA the last several years and anyone who said he stayed out because of the draft is f***ing retarded.

Funny how that worked out. Tech got a good coach at a cheaper price. There's still a big Leach rally scheduled for the 14th though, that should be fun. Still, Tuberville is keeping the offense in place, and just adding a defense. LB coach James Willis at Alabama is expected to be the new DC.

It's likely the exact opposite, and his injury is more severe than they're letting on but he wants to rehab it as much as he can prior to the combine. I never once thought that, personally. I sorta always assumed that if McCoy could have been back, he would have been, and I don't think he really cared about his NFL stock. Hell, I personally didn't think he was a first day pick. If anything, I think his stock would have soared had he been able to come back and win the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kapkomet Posted January 10, 2010 Share Posted January 10, 2010 QUOTE (BearSox @ Jan 8, 2010 -> 12:36 AM) McCoy seems like a good guy and all, but there is no doubt in my mind the only reason why he didn't come back was because of his NFL future. And yeah, that is the smart move in the long run, but I still feel he completely abandoned his teammates. Plus, that clip of him chit chatting with VY and smiling and joking made me sick. Seriously, your team is about to lose the NC, and your joking around? Your not in the game, but your teammates still look towards you. And yeah, they reported he wanted to come back in but was recommended not to, but thats BS. Since the x-ray was negative, there was no medical reason that could prevent him from coming back. If he really, truly, wanted to come back in, there was nothing that could have stopped him. I would have at least liked to see him attempt to throw a pass on the sideline. Also, its a shame many of the lesser bowls were far more exciting than all of the BCS bowls. Best bowl game this season, Outback or GMAC? or other?

You make a call like that, that early in the game, if you don't think you have a shot in hell to win. Its the NC, you don't hold anything back. Obviously it was a play they practiced and if it was there, which it was, it could have been huge. You gotta take chances and risks, its the last game of the season and the last football game ever for a lot of seniors. Gotta go for it all.

Its you last collegiate game ever, and the NC. My arm would have to be ripped off before I ever left the field. Hell, maybe he couldn't throw, but one of McCoy's biggest assests is his ability to run the ball. You could have rotated QB's to take some of the pressure off of Gilbert. Run a lot of the zone read or option with him. I firmly believe his NFL future played a HUGE factor in his decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you wake up, before you go piss, I want you to take a football or baseball, and attempt to throw it straight and accurately past 7 yards. No warm up throws, just flat out throwing it. If anything, Colt's status would've skyrocketed if he came back into the game to lead them to the national championship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
