This is a tough one because it does revolve around one incident. I will have to go with Pederson because he glorified and said that hit showed how "tougher" A&M is.

Heard's hit was cheap and dirty but it happens pretty often. There is usually a cheap shot every couple of games. If he actually inflicted long term damage then definitely but he is just another idiot who makes a bonehead play.

Pederson is worse because not only did he say that but it was published or posted online on a reall newspaper college or not glorifying the act. How stupid are you? Even an OU writer wouldn't say that horrible. Him and McGee are probably love bodies something because i don't how you like a qb that can't complete a pass.

I don't know but when you have trouble throwing the ball then you are not a qb. Its just what i heard. But anyways it has to be Eric Pederson but the enemy of this site specifically not all Longhorn fans has to be Sooner mom and how she defende her son.

I didn't even know that there were computers in Oklahoma. I thought it was an urban legend.

Also i vote for pederson because of how much a fag that he looks like embarrassing. Someone get his email so we can talk trash please. Ridiculous.

...without having Heard first. My vote was for Heard.

and I said so a while back:

And having thought about it, I'll still go with Heard.

No problem, i will stop useing that word from now on.

Like some readers have commented.  Heard's hit, as much of a cheap shot as it was, happens pretty often in college football.  I'm sure some of our players have done that in the past before, but we don't go around glorifying it using it as a basis for a "We're tougher" argument.

hit on Colt, i don't see someone who is caught up in the passion of the game, i see someone who hesitates for a moment, probably weighs the consequences of his action, and then proceeds to blindside our quarterback at full speed after the play has clearly finished. Now if he had layed a viscious late hit on  a lineman or running back, someone who he might be pissed off at for dominating him in other words, then i think the passion argument could be made. The fact is that Heard made a cowardly effort to take our quarterback out of the game with a cheap shot. Pedersen merely believed what they told him at fish camp and acted like as much of an idiot as he looks. Can't blame the guy for being intellectually sterile.

This guy's way more "Enemy of the Nation" material.

A repulsive as Heard's hit was, it was committed in the heat of battle against a hated rival.

Pedersen taking glee in said repulsive hit, then defending the hit from any angle he could is just unforgivable.  

I think to be an enemy of the state you should take into account who hurt the Longhorns more.  To me that would be Heard because if that hit hadnt taken place the Longhorns most likely would of play for the Big 12 Championship game and in turns would of allowed them to play in a bigger bowl game.

... but one did actual damage.  The other one just yapped about it.  So, I'm going with the one on the field.  

Kind of like a really retarded pit bull is worse than a really stupid lap dog, although both are just worthless bitches...

I am still going to say this one is too close to call but alas i have to vote.

I hear all the comments about "heat of battle", "hated rival", and cant help but think, at some point you have to know restraint.  Im not talking about restraint in the sense of not playing hard.  Im talking about knowing that he could have knocked McCoy down without flattening him. Heard knew what was he was going to do, he knew he had an opportunity to lay a lick on McCoy and he had to know the play was over. He also knew the hit COULD re-injure McCoy. This all leads me to believe that the hit was meant to end the game for McCoy.

I also hear all the comments about glorifying the act.  But i also view the glorification as idiotic notions of a weak little punk who has no right talking about toughness standing on the sidelines or sitting in front of a computer screen. Unless hes stepped on the field of battle and been leveled like that he should keep his damn mouth shut.  I know its his job to write but if hes going to write about a thing like toughness he needs to posess the attribute hes writing about.  Much like many of the people who write sports or comment on sports in the media.

But i come to my final thought.  If anyone is going to wear this like a badge of honor he better deserve it.  Id rather Heard get the "honor" of being our enemy than a little punk who doesnt deserve to have an audience, much less bear the weight of BON's hatred.

Heard is the bigger Douchebag both literally and figuratively.

The argument seems to boil down to: do you consider Heard's attack worse because it potentially could have caused physical trauma, or is Pedersen's worse because it wasn't done in the "heat of battle" and he had time to consider what he was saying?  I think Pedersen's is the greater sin against the "nation" for that reason.  However, I would be happy to see co-winners, since this all came out of the same incident.  Maybe put Heard's head on Pedersen's body, or vice versa.  By the way, did either apologize?  To me, that might sway my vote since it is so close.
