Nice read this just about says it all....




So Colt gripped the ball, stared at his dad and thought, “It’s just a simple throw.” He threw. The ball went soft and wide. Everyone grimaced. “Give it to me again,” Colt demanded. Brad got the ball and gave it back to his son. The next throw was the same, bouncing harmlessly away. “Give it to me again,” Colt said, again. Brad did.
It was the same. It was over. Colt couldn’t throw it 7 yards to his own father. “My arm was dead,” he said. The dad hugged his son. The son broke down and cried.

Few people like to think about it when it comes to injuries, but one of the goals of football is to physically dominate your opponent.

CNS's famous quote of "make their asses quit" is indicative of that goal.

That being said, McCoy didn't come down with the H1N1 nor was he the victim of random violence. A Bama player legally hit him and the hit was hard enough to "make him quit", be it his choice or the choice of a team physician or simply that his arm was non-functional.

It is unfortunate for Texas and McCoy but it is part of the game...a phase of the game that Bama won.

I am sorry that McCoy was injured, but that is a decision you make about your own safety playing this game. That also makes two great quarterbacks at the height of their winning seasons that Alabama made cry...

:BigA: Roll Tide! :BigA:

And that's what I'll fondly remember about this defense. Tough as nails. Knocked out Jefferson and Scott of LSU, made Tebow cry, just about made Meyer have a heart attack, and knocked McCoy out of the game. All legally and all within Saban's mantra when he came to the Capstone, make teams HATE to play us or see us on the schedule.


And before anyone gets worked up, I in no way am saying that I'm glad anyone got hurt. I just love that our defense is tough as nails and hits people hard enough that they can't come back in the game.

Excellent post.

Worth noting that Bama was without the BEST PLAYER IN THE COUNTRY due to injury for the entire 3rd quarter, and Bama's offense stalled because of it.
