Colt McCoy didn't look real happy.

[El Supremo]

Neither did I.

But it's not like Sam Bradford didn't deserve it. It's just like if Texas had had a chance....

[Upton]

1. What can you say?

Texas pretty well got hosed by the BCS..and with it went McCoy's Heisman chances.

[El Supremo]

2. So by how much will UT cream Ohio State and put all things right?

Vindication.

[cboy4]

3. Poor Tim TeBLOW

:rofl:
:puke:

[rep the dems]

4. Yeah, he practically won back to back Heisman Trophies.

The guy must really blow :eyes:

[cboy4]

5. I know. Had he won a third, he might have been issued a

proclomation by Free Republic.

You can say a lot about the freepers, but they're definitely loyal toward their right wing fundamentalist christian conservative athletes.

[rep the dems]

6. I was not part of the last "Tebow being a fundie" thread, but I did

read through it. Please, let's not go down that road again. Yes, he's a devout Christian, but the rest of what you're saying is just an assumption. And frankly, even if you're right, it doesn't change the fact that Tebow's a great QB.

[cboy4]

8. Yea, well this is DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND. And it happens

to be a sports forum within DEMOCRATIC UNDERGROUND.

So what's your problem?

I'm not going to give right wingers a pass just because they're athletes.

What's being said about Tebow, and what's been written about Tebow is very likely not an assumption.

How many fundies do you know who are Democrats and how many fundies to you know embrace the issues most of us rally around?

Right. Practically zero.

So I'll continue calling out Tebow as a fundie just as I call out that moran Curt Schilling as a huge Bush-lover -- which he is.

Who cares if TeBow a great QB? He sounds like another Steve Largent politician in the making.

[rep the dems]

10. "Very likely not an assumption"?

That pretty much means "It's an assumption."

I hardly know any fundies to begin with, but I wouldn't deny that most of them are right wingers. Still, even if we were to assume that Tebow is against abortion rights, gay marriage, stem cell research, etc how do we know where he stands on environmental issues? The War on Terror? Economic issues? It's wrong to make that kind of assumption about him. I'll leave it at that.

[cboy4]

13. Are you kidding me? You think he's a right wing fundamentalist

christian conservative who's actually in favor of a woman's right to choose...who is in favor of gay equality, who is in favor of stem cell research?

Maybe in the movies. But I know you're probably not so naive as to believe Tebow is some progressive fundie.

Right rep the dems?

[rep the dems]

14. Clearly you misread my post, or you're just ignoring what I actually said.

I think we're done here.

[cboy4]

19. To be honest, I think God is punishing him for too much

"V", if you know what I'm saying, before marriage.



I read somewhere that he admits to being unable to control his fundie prohibition on sex.

So, I say good for him.

See? I can say something nice about your player!

[madinmaryland]

15. Teblow's head does look a bit roid like.

:hide:

[cboy4]

18. It'swollen solid from all of the B.S. that's been packed into his

right wing noggin.

I'm surprised he attended Satan's Alma Mater.

He's going to have to get exercised after the season I bet!

[Jack from Charlotte]

28. I heard all three finalists play the God Card....

not just Tebow. Maybe it's like running for office in that you have to say nice things about god or you can't get elected.

Tebow does more god talk than the other two guys and came in 3rd this year yet came in 1st last year.

[mduffy31]

11. I honestly don't think we will ever see anyone win two in a row ever again

Tebow is the last guy I think that will come close.

[BlooInBloo]

17. There's no reason to expect that to be true,

It may be true, but there's no reason to expect it to be.

[a la izquierda]

20. Perhaps next year...

if OU doesn't win this year, but avoids getting blown out.
We have a very, very young team. And hopefully Sam sticks around a little longer.

[Tektonik]

30. I can't wait to see him enter the draft this year and get picked in the fifth round

The guy better have a good broadcasting voice and presence because the kid is going nowhere in the NFL.

[a la izquierda]

7. I read a comment on ESPN...

about Sam Bradford not being eligible because he's not American, since he was born in Indian Territory.:eyes:
Honestly, I wouldn't have cared if McCoy won, because at least the award would have stayed in the Big 12.

[fishwax]

9. now I just hope that

Sam can get his hands on this piece of hardware:



:woohoo:

[a la izquierda]

12. You, me and the entire state of Oklahoma...

[Hokie]

25. Must be a COLB idiot

[KamaAina]

29. I do not believe I just read that

So Sebastian Janikowski (Florida State) wouldn't have been eligible because he was born in Poland? (as opposed to having no shot because he's a placekicker :-) )?! :dunce: :dunce: :dunce:

Figures some FReepazoid would confuse the Heisman with the presidency! :eyes: God help us (literally) if Tebow had won...

[BlooInBloo]

16. Hard to argue with >4000 yards, 48 tds, and a trip to the Natl Championship.

[joeybee12]

21. The BCS decided the Heisman Trophy this year...

...had Texas played in the game against Missouri, they would have romped also, and McCoy would have had had one more chance just like Bradford was given...I don't think Bradford would have won otherwise...the BCS sucks.

[El Supremo]

22. I think we have a winner here!

:toast: :fistbump: :applause:

[joeybee12]

23. Thank you!

:hi:

[OKNancy]

24. Unless of course the BCS went your way, then it would have

all been hunky-dory

[joeybee12]

26. My way? I'm a Notre Dame alum...I hate Texas and Oklahoma equally...

...but that doesn't change the fact that Bradford got one more chance that he lucked out in getting...the BCS sucks.

[Capt. America]

27. Thank you Jesus for not giving him the Heisman, now just let him lose to OU! Fuck TeBlow.
