Texas Longhorns quarterback Colt McCoy almost cost his team a shot at the national title…with an incomplete pass. Just before the Longhorns kicked a last-second field goal, McCoy threw a high-arching pass out of bounds as time–or so everyone thought, expired.

McCoy says he thought the clock stopped on a pass out of bounds as soon as it crossed the first-down marker. Had he known the rule, he says, he wouldn’t have floated a long and high pass over the bench area that didn’t touch down until it appeared to hit a railing near the stands.

After McCoy’s pass, the clock hit :00 and the Cornhuskers began to celebrate. But one second was put back on after officials looked at a replay, enough time for Texas to kick the winning field goal. –the monolith.

McCoy didn’t even know that that was in the rulebook. And I only bring this up because Texas might be the worst No. 2 to ever make the national title game since Oklahoma in 2003 to play for the BCS title. Here’s hoping that McCoy throws one more incomplete, and that Nebraska juggernaut Ndamukong Suh–and not McCoy–walks out with the first-ever Heisman Trophy won by an exclusively defensive player.

I guess all good things resembling pubic hair on one’s face must come to an end. And so it goes with Texas Longhorns quarterback Colt McCoy, who announced to a public with bated breath that he would be shaving the upper lip apparatus next week, I guess either because (a) he’s afraid the Heisman Trophy committee would shy away from prison bush, or (b) he turned in his Camaro for Cash for Clunkers. Whatever the reason, it certainly was a wonderful, mustachioed journey. Farewell, magical face dust. We hardly knew ye. via.

Busted Coverage boots it through the uprights yet again with this find of Meaghan, who doesn’t seem too upset about saddling up next to Texas Longhorns kicker Hunter Lawrence (not pictured). And seriously, how GD hard is it to spell “Megan?” Don’t just start throwing extra vowels into your name to make yourself feel more important. Although that uniform does make you look quite official. For a slut [Ed's note: She may not be a slut].

This isn’t very timely, but it’s funny and cut smartly and not too long, and — most importantly — it makes fun of Oklahoma fans’ pain at losing yet another bowl game.

Plus I just spent the last hour watching the inauguration, and it’s not like that’s a great way to get some heavy-duty writing done. In conclusion, whatever. Sometimes shit gets mailed in. I’ll start trying again… nnnnow. No wait. Not yet. I’m gonna finish this sandwich first. Then maybe clip my fingernails. I’m pretty busy today.

Starey Sheriff can’t stop staring

Sorry for the second straight post about the Fiesta Bowl, but I had to share some fun pictures from the game and its beautiful aftermath.  McCoy!  McConaughey!  Spikey shoulders!  Sweater vests!  Broken-hearted Buckeyes!  What more could you want out of a photo gallery?  Oh, right.  Boobs.  Well, stick around.  I’m sure there will be some later.  Right now this is what’s giving me a boner.

Ohio State led Texas 21-17 with less than a minute to go in the Fiesta Bowl, and I thought to myself, “Wow, the Buckeyes are actually going to win a BCS bowl game.  Too bad.  It would be way funnier if they lost.”  Then the Longhorns converted a 4th and 3 with about 45 seconds left, and Colt McCoy hit Quan Cosby (QUAAAANNNN!!!) for a 22-yard touchdown with 16 seconds remaining to give Texas a 24-21 victory, leading Longhorns fans to make rock ‘n roll devil’s horns and sing “I’ve Been Workin’ on the Railroad.”

Let me tell you, few things on television are as richly satisfying as the crowd shots of Ohio State fans that followed.  The heartbreak was so plainly obvious.  Buckeye fans really thought Charlie Brown was gonna kick the football this time.  You just don’t get to see shattered faith every day.  More like once a year.  Right at the beginning of January.  When Ohio State plays a big game.

Oh, excuse me — not just “Ohio State.”  THE Ohio State Unibombombombomwoooooooooooo.

UPDATE: Video below (HT: AA). Gotta love that OSU safety “coverage” with the game on the line. Read the rest of this entry »
