video link above. Good kid. Quote to remember in victory or defeat:
I always give God the glory. I never question why things happen the way they do. God is in control of my life. And I know, if nothing else, I'm standing on the Rock.

Hate to tell the kid that God doesn’t regulate his performance in football games.

You’re missing the point.
He’s talking about what goes on in his head.
....plus he gave his backup, Gilbert, more of pat on the back than he deserved. Class act indeed.
Seems like a good kid but I never really doubted that.
Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
Say no mo', say no mo'.
But if we WERE to pose such a question, might we not wonder about the rules meant to limit injuries? This was regarded, no doubt, as a "clean hit", but was it not the same thing as "spearing"? I mean no implication against the defender that made the hit, but I have always felt that there was a wild inconsistency, or incoherence, in the system of rules that penalized utterly innocuous actions on the presumed grounds of "danger", while vindicating actions that result in severe injury as "clean hits". Well, it's a difficult problem, but it results in an absurd dichotomy.
I do have a real question, though, whether the defender's hit was meant as a punishing blow. It appeared that McCoy was held up, and was indeed in a "helpless" position, when the helmet was applied to his scapula. Just the sort of thing that the rules presumably try to proscribe, however ineffectively.
With any luck, it will be visions of Crimson Tide
His teammates bow and pray, too.
It’s not necessarily they’re praying to win.
Don’t you have football up in Oregon? Oh, wait, you’re too busy growing pot to show up for practice.
I don’t live in Oregon. But next year my neighbors to the east, the BSU Broncos, will be the National Champs.
Football is a violent sport. Bumps, bruises and injuries happen. The players know this going into it. This is not a sport for the weak natured.
Persnally, I’m tired of rules that don’t let the players play the way the game was intended. Pretty soon, the players will get fined for wearing pads.
Colt is a good kid. He represented TEXAS well! His injury was not caused malicously. It’s just football!
The kid didn’t say that, pissant
Dream on!!
I never question why things happen the way they do.
Maybe he didn't mean it this way, but I don't see a problem with questioning(Matt. 27:46) God, unless it's to the point of rebelling and challenging his authority.
Good thought LOCI. I have never been prouder of a Texas Longhorn team or player than I was that night.
Hook ‘em Horns!!
