McCoys, Longhorns and the Superbowl

February 1, 2007

Here just some interesting information for the old noggin.
The Bears are Longhorns fans. The McCoys, all the family, are Bears fans, including Brad, Graham's coach and his son, Colt, the starting quarterback for the Longhorns.
It's an interesting relationship tied together, but its still interesting.

Brad McCoy used to help coach camps out in Nevada. The place where Brian Urlacher grew up. It just so happened, McCoy taught there for many years.
Urlacher started a football camp back home after he hit it big and still invited Brad out there to help out, if I remember what Brad told me several months back correctly.
So this season Urlacher was a Longhorns fan. As I guess Benson and Vasher were.
But Brad McCoy went to the college in Abilene. As did Daniel Manning, the rookie defensive back that plays for the Bears.
Benson played at Midland Lee and then for the horns. Now he's about to go to a Superbowl. He never won a national championship as a Longhorn.
He came close, but Chris Simms couldn't get it done.
Colt McCoy won a championship under Vince Young.
So I guess one family in Graham will be rooting for Da Bears Sunday.

I'm guessing their not that big of fans of Peyton Manning.
