Colt is Dallas Morning News' Big XII POY

I hope Heisman voters see this and pay attention. Tech fans are grumbling in the comments section, but I suppose you can't blame them. They don't seem to appreciate that the DMN names Leach coach of the year. Besides Colt, only two other Horns named to the first team -- Orakpo (no surprise) and Shipley (yes!).

Nice argument for the Heisman:

The bottom line: McCoy did as much for his team as any offensive player in the Big 12 – or the country. Here are three of several numbers that back up the argument:

• McCoy accounted for 70.3 percent of the Texas offense.

• With his completion percentage of 77.6, McCoy could break Daunte Culpepper's Bowl Subdivision mark of 73.6 in 1998.

• He's one of just seven players in the Bowl Subdivision to lead his team in rushing and passing this season.

Apparently it’s because we’re too busy beating dead horses.

We got shafted. It sucks. Do we have nothing else to talk about? I may take a hiatus from BON if this is all we talk about until our bowl game (I can’t wait for bowl invites to go out so we can start talking about FOOTBALL and our opponent again).

happy to see colt get recognition

but how in the world did gerald mcoy get defensive player of the year? he is good, but not as good as the media thinks. maybe i’m just ridiculously biased, but my vote would have gone to orakpo
