This year college football was poised to be Tim Tebow’s swan song. The senior Florida quarterback was supposed to lead his team to a second straight BCS title, perhaps win a second Heisman trophy and thus ride off into the Florida sunset. And with that, Tebow would be crowned one of the ...Published on: 15th December, 2009
Be honest. You had to feel for Colt McCoy, if only a little. This is the winningest quarterback in NCAA history we are talking about. The guy who, in any other year, would have been a slam-dunk Heisman winner after the gargantuan numbers he produced in 2008. The guy who kept a low ...Published on: 11th December, 2009
Back in December, 2005, Texas quarterback Vince Young boarded a flight to New York City for the 71st Heisman award ceremony. Young had done just about everything a Heisman candidate could be asked to do. He had racked up eye-popping statistics, created an endless display of highlight reel material, and led his ...Published on: 8th December, 2009
It was all right there, laid out perfectly before Colt McCoy's eyes. A Big 12 championship. A BCS title game berth. Even, perhaps, a Heisman trophy. All the Texas quarterback needed to do was take one more snap and look to get a few more yards to put his team's kicker, Hunter ...Published on: 4th December, 2009
Vince Young has probably booked his ticket. Bevo may be en route as we speak. And I wouldn’t be surprised if Mickey Mouse has his burnt orange ears all ready to go.

At this point, according to anyone not named Adam Schefter anyways, it appears Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops will stay in Norman for his 12th season with the Sooners. However, a disappointing 2009 campaign, as well as a growing sense of frustration toward the program’s recent BCS woes, seems to make the ...Published on: 25th November, 2009
It would be easy to say that Colt McCoy will be the key factor for the Longhorns to get past Texas A&M Thursday night. After all, the Aggies have one of the worst passing defenses in the country and Colt McCoy is, well, Colt McCoy. It would be just as easy to ...Published on: 20th November, 2009
One of the biggest story lines entering the 2009 college football season was whether or not USC was on the verge of an uncharacteristic down year. The Trojans had lost a significant part of last season’s Rose Bowl team. They would be forced to start plenty of inexperienced players—including a ...Published on: 19th November, 2009
At the start of the 2009 college football season, one frequent topic of debate among college football analysts and fans was exactly where Florida’s Tim Tebow ranked among the greatest quarterbacks to ever play at the collegiate level. Tebow’s numbers were (and still are) remarkable. His ability to will his team ...Published on: 17th November, 2009
Everyone has that friend. You know the type. Deep down, he’s a good guy, really. But he’s never been able to hold a long-term relationship. Time after time, girl after girl, he gets the same result—a failed relationship. Even when things start out magically, they never end well. And every time this happens, ...
