Although I'm not much of a Hook 'Em Horns fan, the fact that their starting QB is named Colt McCoy, perhaps one of the All Time football names, is worth noting. He's even got his own Wikapedia entry.
Over his career, he completed 536-of-849 passes (63.1%) for 9,344 yards and 116 TDs. He ranks as the all-time leading passer in Texas Division 2A history and is fourth overall in Texas high school history.

Ouch.
Tagliabue's response: "What Gumbel said about Gene Upshaw and our owners is about as irresponsible as anything I've heard in a long time."
