Colt McCoy will start every game at quarterback. He will complete 54 percent of his passes and throw 16 touchdown passes with 14 interceptions. He will be chosen second-team All-Big 12 behind Texas Tech's Graham Harrell and become the third Longhorn named Big 12 Freshman of the Year under Greg Davis.

COMMENTARY
Austin, bar the door, before OSU fans arrive
Thursday, August 31, 2006
JOHN KELSO

AUSTIN, Texas — A couple of places that Austin ought to shut down and condemn for treason?
How about those two traitorous joints known as the Erwin Center and Stubb’s?
Frank Erwin, the legendary chairman of the Board of Regents at the University of Texas, would be rolling over in his grave if knew the school had sold out to a pack of carpetbaggers.
The Erwin Center, allegedly a Texas institution, has rented itself out to the Ohio State Alumni Association for $10,000 so that the Ohio State marching band can play there for an afternoon party right before the Sept. 9 game against Texas.
This would have irked Erwin. He would have wanted at least $50,000.
Then there’s Stubb’s, on Red River Street. The Ohio State Varsity Club has helped line up the barbecue and music joint for Buckeyes fans for Friday night and Saturday. So if you want good barbecue that weekend and you’re wearing burnt orange, go elsewhere.
Since we’ve given them Stubb’s and the Erwin Center, why don’t we just throw our hands in the air and toss in the Capitol?
Word is that on the weekend of The Big Game, an infestation of 35,000 to 40,000 people from Ohio will descend on Austin. Why are all these people coming here? Are the bowling alleys in Akron closed for the weekend? What, no bingo games scheduled?
An invasion of 35,000 to 40,000 Yankees from Ohio in Austin on the same weekend: Somebody call Orkin. That’s too many people asking, "What’s an enchilada? "
But here’s the real scary part. Even though Ohio State has been allotted just 4,000 tickets for the game, I’m hearing that as many as 20,000 Buckeyes fans might get into the stadium. You know what this means, don’t you? It means many UT fans are selling their tickets for profit. And that’s just wrong.
OK, so I’ll sell my two game tickets to an Ohio State fan. I’ll sell one for $7,500, and I’ll throw in the second one for $7,450. But you’ve got to memorize the words to the Eyes of Texas and sing it to me in a pretty good voice before you can have them.
Other than that, though, Ohio can go bag Jell-O, for all I care. Some guy, presumably from Ohio, sent me an e-mail that said, "If it doesn’t involve a pig, it isn’t barbecue." Hey, buddy, if it doesn’t involve a pig, it isn’t the Miss Ohio pageant.
So, 35,000 to 40,000 extra Yankees: What we should do is set up checkpoints on all the highways leading into the state and let Ohioans in on the basis of who has the largest credit card limits.
I’d set the quota at about 5,000 visitors. Any Ohio crowd larger than that isn’t worth the noise pollution.

Kelso is a humorist (supposedly), don't take him seriously.

Also I haven't seen it mentioned yet, but you ought to know that Colt = Malcolm in the middle. We used to have Opie at QB and now Malcolm, so have your fun.

Don't worry, I'm not. I understand he wrote it to get people to read it and get a rise out of OSU fans and make the Texas fans laugh. But if he wants to poke fun at us, it's only fair we're allowed to do the same in return.

This is a good place to do it. You have an audience (other OSU fans) and a target (Texas fans).

Zurp and I kind of did this already several weeks ago. It was all very good natured, but I think I accidently made Zurp cry and piss his britches, so maybe I took it a little too far. Sorry, Zurp.

Nice to see the extra effort of one more click didn't keep you away, EH. :wink2:

It was a long and dangerous journey, but I found my way.

My right index finger now has a cramp though.

Well, you better get it healed up... your right thumb needs a backup for all the switching between games this weekend... unless you are going to the N. Texas game then you need your index finger completely healed so you can give your fellow 'Horns the hook'em sign (better get it in this weekend as you won't be doing much of that next weekend :biggrin:).
