But, Colt McCoy was a 1st Class act...Until he got hurt.....

I liked the way he called for daddy when he was in the locker room. "Daddy! I won't win a national championship and at least Bradford won a heisman. Can we just leave and go back to Texas?"

Nothing that remains south of the Red River is a "class act"

Mack Brown, "I held him out of the game in order not to jeopardize his future in the pros!"

Give me a frickin' break!

Let's get back to the days of Switzer. "You're not a hotshot million dollar quarterback yet. Get your ass out there and play!"

Yeah, I do enjoy the thread. I've been away from OKC for 22 yrs now and reading a lot of these posts is like driving around town in the 71 GTX I used to have, through all the old neighborhoods and hang outs.

And yeah, I was REALLY bored this morning.
