It was big news that Colt McCoy was honored as a Heisman finalist in New York City after winning several awards the week before.  Under the radar, a lesser known Longhorn will be honored for his performance in the Big XII championship game.  I can't find the link, but James Kirkendoll will be in Times Square to drop the big ball to mark the coming of the New Year.  He is excited, as it is truly the only opportunity to have a bigger drop than the Nebraska game.
