12.10.08 HAHA, HE SAID ‘VARMINT’
Texas quarterback Colt McCoy went on ESPN Radio yesterday and talked to Mike Tirico and Scott Van Pelt about what he did on Saturday night instead of watching Oklahoma cruise past MIzzou in the Big 12 title game the Longhorns could have been playing in. What was it? Keg stands? HALO? Panty raid? Nope:
McCoy: All right, well, I called up some buddies and we went spotlightin’. We went huntin’, basically.
Van Pelt: Wait, you’re talking to two city guys here. What the heck is spotlighting?
McCoy: It’s basically where you get a spotlight, and you just kind of look for varmints and –
Van Pelt: Varmints? Possums? Armadillos?
McCoy: Yeah, armadillos, anything really. You just have to go out there and shoot stuff to get all this anger out.
And to think I wasted what little time I spent in Austin drinking on Sixth Street and listening to live music. Apparently I missed out on the college experience in Texas.

HAHA, HE SAID ‘VARMINT’
I’m guessing “varmints” is Texan for “colored folk”.
If it were me, I’d have said:
Yeah, armadillos, anything really. You just have to go out there and shoot jizz all over stuff to get all this anger out.
I smell varmint poon tang.
See, if I were Colt McCoy, I’d have gotten my anger out by drinking a bunch of whiskey and slapping around one of the Texas cheerleaders, Streetcar-style.
Opposing linebackers confound him when they dress as rabbits in drag.
They caught him off guard when they asked what “spotlighting” was. It’s a good thing he’s quick on his feet and thought of something other than the true meaning. “Jerking off on each other” just doesn’t sound good in the national media.
Being from Oklahoma and having participated in Spotlighting many times, it’s hard to beat the fun one can have when you shotgun busch light, then drive around in some shitty old pickup with a spotlight and try to shoot jack rabbits (in texas) or anything else (anything that moves in oklahoma).
Catch my sarcasm? The “real mccoy” is a tool and a half.
On a side note, sixth street might be the best street in America. Bourbon is fun, but Sixth Street is more fun minus all the dirty Louisiana inbreds.
Yeah but you still have to deal with all the dirty Texas inbreds.
Nah, Sixth Street sucks. The guys are all failed alpha assholes, the girls are all stuck-up bitches, and only about 1/10 of the bands are worth paying attention to. Someone ought to find a nice high vantage point and just start shooting everyone in sight.
Just kidding, Austin is cool.
An interesting fact: the guy who shot Charles Whitman (Austin clock tower shooter) was actually named Houston McCoy.
/the more you know…
So did he kill Matthew McConaughey? He looks like a dumbass that would just around in the dark.
As a UT grad I can tell you that no one in Austin (save for Colt McCoy) goes spotlighting. It’s actually illegal in Texas.
