You’ve been great Raider! How you keep your cool when we all start acting like kindergartners, I’ll never know. You have been a gentleman and made this a lot of fun!

I think the thing was he was against his lineman so the hit was like a hammer on an anvil. He couldn't bounce away from it but was crushed between the two players. It hit him right in the shoulder blade, in between the shoulder pads and the flak jacket. Because of the arm numbness, the doctors were worried about nerve damage. It could have been just a bad stinger, but there's a possibility some nerves were pinched in the shoulder girdle somewhere. That's why they wouldn't let him play. If the nerves had moved and were being compressed between bone, another hit might have crushed or severed them and paralyzed his throwing arm.
The hit was with the helmet, so it was like catching a bowling ball with steel bars on it in the shoulder blade at about twenty miles an hour.
I got to photograph the Horns this year. Here's Colt:
Some of the hardest hits don't look that bad from the stands, but down close they're pretty wicked. This is Oklahoma whacking the Baylor QB.

Funny, but she doesn't have that same effect on me... ;^)
Maybe my husband should stop by this thread - he keeps me smiling too.

While Texas was a pretty fair team overall, they had the weakness of depending on one man, Colt McCoy. Once he was out, it was all over but the crying. Colt is a great young man and the #1 Guarterback in the country. But he’s not much use sitting on the sidelines injured. Hopefully, they’ll learn from this and develop one or two seasoned back ups in the future. (Considering his lack of experience, I thought Gilbert did about as well as could be expected under the circumstances.) He’ll be a good one in the future for the Longhorns. Also Colt’s little Brother, Case, will be at UT next year. He just quarterbacked his HS team to the Texas State Championship in their Division.

I was stunned they didnt have anyone else in line for the QB spot - a freshman - no soph or junior waiting? My thought exactly. I do not know the history of Texas QB's this season, but barring a fluke of injuries or transfers, one has to blame the coach for not having anything better than an inexperienced freshman as a back up.
Also considering a 6-0 start, which may have just as easily been 10-0 or even 14-0, you have to think Texas just did not have what it takes to win.

I absolutely mean that. Unless you have experienced the vitriol and condescension on bammer fans toward Auburn fans, you can't understand it.That Bama/Auburn thing goes both ways. Now give it up for The Tide - National Champions.

Thank you for all the college football threads! I read them every week and look forward to reading more throughout the year. This was a great game (despite what the radio pundits said after the game), and I’m happy Bama ended up on top! Roll Tide!!!!!!! I’m sorry that Colt McCoy’s college career ended the way it did tonight, and I wish him the very best! He’s my favorite college QB. Also, I look for great things from Mr. Gilbert for the next 3 years.
Roll Tide Roll!

Boise gets a share of the championship in my book. Bama may very well be able to kick their butts but they won’t get the chance. Congrats to them both.
Boise will likely be ranked second. I could envision them putting Florida second though.
When I saw that interception at the end of the half, the backup QB tossed aside like a rag doll by the interceptor, I though that was it. I’m impressed Texas was able to battle back within 3 before Bama put the nail in. I was calling the Texas backup QB Curtis Painter. I owe him an apology since he threw 2 touchdowns.

I pulled for Bama for the same reasons. Mostly for the SEC.
Jevan Snead decided to go pro. At first I was upset.
Then I decided if he is going to be inconsistent then
let him do it somewhere other than Ole Miss.

For me it’s Florida and Tennessee. I can handle an occasional loss to Auburn because it’s family, but I HATE Florida and Tennessee!
