Texas A&M Hate Week: Kellen Heard Edition

PrintPerhaps no Aggie is more hated to this day than former defensive tackle Kellen Heard, the giant tub of goo who took one of the most blatant cheap shots in recent history against Colt McCoy well after the play was over in the 2006 loss. Heard was ejected for his actions.
Texas fans may recall that McCoy probably shouldn't have been playing in the game after sustaining a stinger a week and a half before during the Kansas State game and did not have the arm strength to be effective. However, with Jevan Snead having already bailed on the program, McCoy had to gut it out, only to be brutally targeted by Heard.
UT's Colt McCoy Gets Pummeled! (via topsportsvids)
Kellen Heard, you are and forever will be an Enemy of the Nation and a disgusting, loathsome creature. Still not convinced? Take it from an unbiased source that called it "arguably the cheapest shot of 2006".
Of course, to only hate Heard is to forget the proper venom that should head in the direction of former Battalion writer Eric Pederson, who wrote a ridiculously tasteless column glorifying Heard's hit while slobbering all over Stephen McGee.

Is this when the doofus over on "the 12th man" started calling Colt "cart McCoy"?
Proud of your offense? Manny badger don't give a shit!
Yeah
Martellus Bennett started that. Speaking of that particular waste of space, it’s worth pointing out, as Darius Terrell did a while back on Twitter that Jermichael Finley >>>>>>>>>> Martellus Bennett.

As a lifelong Dallas Cowboy fan, I am disgusted to have Bennett on the team.
He is much more able to run his mouth & stay the stupidest things … than he is to actually catch a pass. He has horrible hands – the worst I’ve seen in a long time. After watching him repeatedly, I don’t think he blocks particularly well at all but, somehow, he’s been hangin’ on by a thread with these coaches for several years. He’s is good for, at least, one big drop per game. Can’t believe they haven’t traded his arse for a less-than-physical-specimen TE who can actually catch the ball & help out Romo occasionally. Anybody that could catch the ball, not run his mouth, and be a team player would be a huge improvement over this character.

I would add to that list
the current idiot in charge over at It Takes 12 to be a Man,,and the soon to be former coaches of the cult that applaud and reward such hits,,,and every witness in the stands that stood and cheered, and there were thousands of them waving their little white towels.
If a man is alone in the woods and he speaks, if no one hears him,,is he still wrong?
This is precisely why I am glad the cowards have tucked tail and run to the SEC.

It's things like this ...
that make me glad to see the rivalry go (or at least be shelved for a while). I am honestly looking forward to the Aggies leaving.
A few years ago, I was in a civil district court in Harris County when a District Judge called McCoy “Cart” from the bench. He’s an Aggie, so he didn’t get it. Let’s just say that I was not in a place where I could call him on it. A enjoyable rivalry has hatred and passion, for sure, but when it lacks mutual respect, i.e., that shown by Texas to A&M after the bonfire tragedy, then it gets to be a chore.
Aggies are like the guy at the dinner table with a huge booger in his nose … who thinks it’s funny. It’s funny to elementary kids.
The two-percenters aside, we all hate having to deal with these bastards, their juvenile schtick, out-of-control penis envy, and complete inability even to call our school by its name … or keep from reverting to elementary school insults such as failing to capitalize “Texas.” I mean, really? Do you lose your Aggie bona fides if you call us “UT” or “Texas?” Do they pull a sword on you? Do they hunt you down like Braveheart or come and get you in the night and take you back to the reeducation camps?
Think Oklahoma. There’s a lot of hatred and passion, but there is also mutual respect between the programs. I guess the reason why is that both have accomplished quite a bit. Maybe that’s the rub with A&M.
So, I am glad to see them go. Really, nothing illustrates this more than the Heard hit, it’s aftermath (Aggies cheering it at the game and then defending it afterwards)
Hook ’em Thursday night and until Gabriel blows his horn …
I will change my legal name to "I. M. Harsin" if Texas scores on a Statue of Liberty or Hook-and-Ladder vs. OU."

Great Post!
FFFF the Aggies!

Well said
Win or lose, we never cheer for injuries. I am sorry Oklahoma lost so many quality players, not to mention #12, may he rest in peace. I wish the Ags didn’t lose one of their fantastically talented tailbacks. If we’re to win, I want to beat them when they’re at full strength.
I graduated in 93 and the Aggies I knew had class. Something happened since then, cause there’s no class in College Station any more. So long, I don’t wish you well.

Aggies
I understand people were cheering the hit and somehow defending it? I don’t really know how they were doing any of those things but I would just like to make on thing clear…..
Aggies do not cheer or boo injuries. In fact, the way it goes is when a player is injured, the students will move “off the wood” (dating back to days when the stands were wood). Everyone is quiet and although the students don’t sit down like other schools might do, they step back “off the wood” on the lower seat section where your feet normally go. This tradition is heavily enforced by the students and an injured player will never be cheered. Of course, I understand away games are a little different and individual fans and players can do whatever they want.
Please don’t make the mistake of judging an entire school and alumni based on a few players actions combined with a subset of students at the game/school paper editors.
I’m excited for tomorrow and I will miss playing you guys. I think things have gotten out of hand and in a decade or so we will all be ready to play nice again.
A&M = skinny pedo new to prison SEC Defense = horny biker gang
Hook ‘Em…and don’t let the door hit you on the way out, Little Brother.
Two reasons to hate A&M
Holding degrees from UT and TCU, I can’t decide which is the cheapest Aggie shot of all time: Kellen Heard on Colt McCoy, or Quentin Coryatt taunting TCU receiver Kyle McPherson moments after shattering his jaw.
And don’t forget the video showing an Aggie racking a Nebraska player in the post-tackle pile when they played last year. They have to act like their traditions are the only ones that matter, and they are the only keepers of virtue – it helps to soothe their conscience over being such despicable and hypocritical vermin.
I for one am glad that A&M can now go and be the whiny red-headed loser stepchild of some other conference. Swapping TCU for A&M is a HUGE upgrade for the Big 12.
The Big 12 invitation is not an affirmation of TCU. To the contrary, it is TCU's affirmation of the Big 12. TCU does not need validation from the likes of Baylor, which has done absolutely nothing with its AQ affiliation except live off the success of OU and UT.
you know ive always hated TCU
But I find myself liking them more and more. Love replacing aggy with them

this is why i cant wait to see Kenny Vacarro light up Tannehill
And when Vacarro does it it’ll be a perfectly legal hit because Mack doesn’t coach dirty players

Perfectly Legal Hit Or Not
After witnessing horrendous call sin the past two games I expect to see yellow laundry flying anytime Vacarroa comes near the aTm QB.
maybe Vacarro needs to hit a ref

Shem's Down To "They Gots Cheap Beer At The Dixie Chicken"
Mike Shreman Loses A Recruiting Tool
Klein Forest’s [Matt] Davis said that before he committed to the Aggies, head coach Mike Sherman and his staff used the annual Texas game as an example of playing in big games if he were to pick A&M.
Poor Shermie, he’s now lost one of the arrows in his recruiting quiver due to the inconceivable Aggie lust to occupy the SEC’s basement.
Can you imagine Mack using a game against aTm as an inducement to sign a letter of intenet? “You’ll get to play in Norman, Stillwater, and College Station!”
In before Beergut...
Ya’ll have a bad team. 5-7. Awful QBs. Tennehill is my secret crush.
Etc etc.
P.s. Ya’ll.
Because we're Texas and we're evil. DUH.
not sure what you mean by 5-7
because we have 6 wins you moron

Can't really say it's hate
Because hate implies some base level acknowledgement of A&M as relevant outside of the fact they’re who we play this week. Annoyance? Sure. Much like stepping in dog shit, we will suffer their stench Thursday, scrape them off our boots and generally forget they every existed.

Fat Aggie with a Big Mouth
I’m usually infuriated by anything that Beergut writes about the Longhorns, but he is pretty dead-on IMO with his evaluation of the UT offense (unfortunately) in this post. I guess the upside is that no one will actually see it.

Why are you even reading his drivel?
It’s hard enough seeing that dude over here constantly posting his crap, you actually SEEK OUT his writings???? BRRRRRR.

Quiet week
Work is quiet, the players are being respectful and not providing any bulletin board material. Then in seconds, my blood starts to boil watching that clip. Thx BigRoy.

hopefully they are being quiet because they are working on some special plays

I was wondering when this was going to be posted
Thanks for not disappointing me, GoBR.
I must have missed PB’s opinion on the ‘worst article ever’. I didn’t know he blamed the ’06 loss on the refs.
No, he didn't blame it on the refs at all.
But the fact remains that it was the worst-officiated / most-lopsided-favoring-one-team officiated football game that I’ve ever seen. None of it, mind you, had anything to do with late-hit on McCoy or the final aggy drive down the field when Longhorn defenders looked like they were running in quicksand. McGee was great on that drive. However, the aggies never should have been within one score of winning. I remember 6 huge crucial calls going against the ‘Horns that day. I’ve never, before or since, written ‘em down for any game … but I did that day. I just couldn’t believe the horrific calls that just kept piling up like that. It was surreal, especially for a home team to overcome.
Just for giggles
I did a search within this article for these three letters: “ref”
You’ll find them nowhere within the original post.
Who’s blaming the refs?
Must be Aggie logic.
The same logic that sees a blatant cheap shot and crows about it.
The same logic that sees a collie and believes it’s not the most patently ridiculous mascot in college athletics.
The same logic that thinks male cheerleaders are a good thing.
The same logic that believes Mike Sherman is going to succeed in the SEC. A little reminder: 4-8, 6-7, 9-4, 6-5 (so far). Have fun with that.
The same logic that believes that, because there are tens of thousands of Aggie fans all across the world, and they love football, and most of them know how to use a computer, so one would think that a SB Nation site dedicated to all things Aggie would prosper and bloom and even be burdened by a bevy of posts. And yet, we visit your blog and all we see are posts by you. And here I find, in this one case, the Ags have demonstrated discerning taste. Because you’re pretty much the only guy who posts there. Which goes to show: even Aggies know a loser when they see one.

Maybe you're searching for the wrong word?
Even our injured Colt McCoy managed 14 points (only 7 with the Collie-humping referees).
