McCoy handles disappointment with class

Colt McCoy deserved much better than this. Anyone questioning his toughness after he left the BCS Championship game last night with an arm injury doesn't understand football. Not to say the Longhorns would have won last night if McCoy had remained at QB. But the game would have been much more interesting.

But McCoy didn't pout or make excuses. He was first class when interviewed after the disappointing end to an amazing career.



McCoy wanted nothing more than to give Texas another championship and cement his name and reputation right along Vince Young. Despite finishing second on the biggest stage, McCoy has nothing to be ashamed of. In fact, his performance last night may have been his best ever.

My arm's not supposed to bend that way

Florida is taking care of business in the Sugar Bowl, but RB Jeff Demps suffered an ugly injury to his left arm as he tried to regain his balance. We don't like posting these videos, but it seems you all want to see them. The video quality is poor, but it's the only one we could find at this point.

Video: Cal's Best lands ugly on head

Just saw this on ESPN and then found it on YouTube. Cal RB Jahvid Best landed ugly on his neck after a crazy leap over an Oregon State defender for a touchdown this evening. According to ESPN, the game was halted form 16 minutes and Best had to be carted off the field. Let's hope that was just a precaution and everything is OK.

UPDATE: AP is reporting that paramedics removed his jersey and were administering oxygen to Best as he left the stadium.

SECOND UPDATE: AP is reporting that Best suffered a concussion, just a week after having a minor concussion, and is at the ER for observations.

Houston WR suing Marshall

I called this one as I was watching the game. It appears University of Houston receiver Patrick Edwards is going to sue Marshall University because of a broken leg he incurred in the second half of a game last year in Huntington, W.Va.

Edwards, who was having a great season for the Cougars, crashed full-speed into a metal cart for band equipment that was stationed behind the end zone. He had surgery in Huntington and Herd players and MU officials visited Edwards at the hospital the next day.

He is still expected to make a full recovery, but I knew that night he had a good legal case and it appears he has decided to cash in. If you have not seen what happened that night in October here is the video (but I warn you that it is graphic).
