EXCELLENT NEWS.

I'm happy to hear that this committee is looking more for a guy like Colt McCoy than for a guy who's capable of going into a psycho rage in the face of his teammates because they're behind in a game... on national TV...

Not that I'd ever mention any names or anything.

Congratulations, Colt. You earned it.

You know, a lot of the top (attention getter) college football players are christians... cool!

Yeah. I remember once upon a time after PSU had beaten Notre Dame, someone axed Joe Paterno about beating G-d's team or some such thing. He replied "Yeah, well I've got a few Catholics playing for me too" and trotted toward the locker room.

So to paraphrase, my team has more than a few professing Christians - notably our own Mr. McCoy, who will be a top 5 draft pick. Young Mr. Ingram, this year's Heisman trophy winner is a professing Christian as well from what I've heard, and this is all to His glory.

Congratulations to Colt. I'm ready to see him go do the same thing in the NFL... :)
