Here are a couple of links for you about Colt.
In the chatroom, Lynn shared the recent Colt McCoy audio interview with Dan Patrick - http://www.790kbme.com/pages/frame-danpatrick.html. The actual audio link is near the bottom of the page. You can't miss it ... right next to Colt's picture. You can also get to the same page by keying in danpatrick.com.
Also, here is this morning's Reporter-News story that features Brad McCoy talking about Colt being on the Sports Illustrated cover - http://reporternews.com/news/2008/oct/16/cover-boy/?partner=RSS
The Dan Patrick bullet points follow:
McCoy doesn't believe in the Sports Illustrated cover jinx and isn't worried about it.
McCoy said Vince Young is the greatest quarterback in the history of college football.
McCoy said he doesn't know who the best quarterback in the Big 12 is. He said wait to see who wins the conference.
Dan asked him the last time he signed an autograph. His professor asked him after class just yesterday.
Colt said he's definitely going to be back in Austin for his senior year. He seems to have no interest in leaving early for the NFL.
Dan asked him how important being a leader is for him. McCoy said it's huge and credited the Longhorns for their resiliency.
McCoy said he tries to wear white or grey, because coach Mack Brown gets mad if he's wearing red. Dan said he's wearing burnt orange for the interview. I'm in the studio today. It's absolutely true.
This morning my wife wondered if Colt would return for his senior year at Texas if he won the Heisman. Not knowing the answer, of course, I still assured her he would. Just seems like something he would do, whether he won the Heisman or not.
I wondered aloud to my wife how many issues of Sports Illustrated Debra McCoy has purchased in the past 24 hours.
At least all there are in Graham, Texas, that's for sure. ;-)
