HE'S BAAAACK!

You may have already heard (or at least guessed), but just in case you haven't, Colt McCoy will start Friday against the Texas A&M Aggies.
Here is the blurb from the AP wire:
AUSTIN, Texas (AP) - Texas freshman quarterback Colt McCoy, knocked out of the No. 11 Longhorns' loss to Kansas State with a shoulder and neck injury, was cleared to play this week against Texas A&M.
Offensive lineman Justin Blalock, who has started 49 consecutive games, also was cleared to play against the Aggies, coach Mack Brown said Monday.
McCoy sustained a stinger while scoring a touchdown in the first quarter of the 45-42 loss. He has a school-record 27 touchdown passes for the Longhorns (9-2, 6-1 Big 12), who must win Friday to secure a berth in the conference championship game.
Blalock left the Kansas State game in the third quarter with a knee injury.
That should be a heckuva game, and I for one plan on eating my leftover turkey sandwich in front of the tube instead of this computer.
More about this classic battle and why there is no longer any ice in the drinks at College Station soon.
Just kidding about that "ice" thing. There won't be any Aggie jokes on this blog. [B-P
