As I prepare for the final two hours of sports tv viewing this Thanksgiving Day, I am faced with the likeliehood that Colt McCoy secured his Heisman Trophy tonight in a score-fest win over the Texas A&M Aggies. Given my distaste for everything Longhorn, I must admit I have a hard time disliking Mr. McCoy.
But I suspect that one Adam Lambert must have a degree from UT, given his stunning display of arrogance last week at the American Music Awards. That kid’s got to be a Longhorn…or be a relative of John Calipari…
Not that anyone REALLY cares much about Mr. Lambert. As an American Idol non-fan, I was pleased the good guy won that poor replacement for television drama last year. Hard to believe the only 60 seconds I saw of the awards show was his cavorting around the stage. Why am I not surprised he was surprised by everyone’s shock? It’s just showbiz…
Colt, on the other hand, deserves college football’s top honor. Given the voters’ reticence to ever give the stiff arm statue to the same guy twice ever again, you knew Tim Tebow couldn’t win it even if he could have matched his incredible numbers from two years ago. I would have liked to see Sam Bradford healthy for an entire year but the odds were stacked against him, too. Colt’s team is undefeated (for now) and his numbers are staggering. So…let’s just hope he has as little of that Texas arrogance inside as possible and ends up as someone we can all root for.
College basketball is in full force with the clicker going back and forth from the Milk House in Florida and the Anaheim Convention Center. Fran F. was working the color mic in Orlando and that’s always a good thing. Eager to see the Hogs in person again tomorrow night…
It’s been a treat having the son home from college, even though he’s in college only a few miles down the road. He was excited to tell us the UA will be offering a class in video game development next year. It’s great to see him with such passion.
Tomorrow is Black Friday. A day I usually choose to avoid at all costs. However, circumstances appear to thrust me into the masses. Good thing I’m a patient person….
