There's no way that hit on McCoy was an intentional cheap shot. Colt was backpeddaling and throwing as he was falling backwards. The Aggie was launched at his chest, and Colt's head came down to what had been chest level.

You can be pissed that Aggies won, but don't make more out of what happened on that play than what really did.

He was aiming for Colt's injured shoulder (with 20 seconds left in the game.) May have been legal, but what really pisses off Longhorn fans was the cheap shot on the interception a couple of minutes earlier when Colt was just standing around after the play and starting to take off his helmet when he was blindsided by a FAggie into the injured shoulder. The FAggies are claiming that he was just blocking for the interception return, but that is just bullshit as the ref immediately ejected the FAg.

To be clear, the hits on Colt did NOT cost UT the game (nor did the referees, if you can't overcome 1 bad call on a TD and only score 7 points against Gay&M, you deserve to lose) but the cheap shot after the game had pretty much been won is infuriating. They've won the game, but they are still trying to knock out our star QB? Completely classless garbage, and why the hit that knocked Colt out of the game just further enrages Longhorn fans, because it suggest that the cheap shot (ejection play) might not have been so much a fluke as a strategy. Franchione, based on his history at TCU and Alabama, certainly isn't known for ethical behavior.
