Rachel McCoy Steps In Poo, Still Manages to Look Hot

The General is her Pilates instructor.

Giving players free hunting and fishing trips is a violation, but of course … nothing to see here, move along.

What if they’re just hunting pussy, Tom?

it’s the lead on deadspin. and deadspin doesn’t let anything die. not that they have many readers anymore.

Well then that’s called a “recruiting visit”. :)

Apparently girls can only be hot and smart if they are not blonde. How in the world she even thought bringing up Texas was appropriate is beyond me. She went to Baylor. Talk about them. This was beyond stupid.

This will end up being much ado about not much, but dear Lord. Very curious what prompted her to call in to the show in the first place. Hopefully in the future she’ll find her schedule too filled with pilates, elliptical work and Junior League meetings to call into radio talk shows. Not to be too sexist – for all I care she can spend her days hunting feral hogs in South Texas wearing a camo bikini and wielding a bowie knife, just clear your public proclamations with hubby first.

Actually, despite my best efforts that last sentence still came off a little sexist.

I am not sure what her agenda might be, but I suspect there is something behind it along the lines of paying players the full cost attendance. No telling who put her up to the call. I hope our booster-sycophant types do just enough to keep us competitive and not enough to draw serious scrutiny.

It all just makes me sad and angry. Angry and sad.

No one put her up to the call, IMO. She’s young, married to Colt, and was SUPER-EXCITED when Cowherd saw her Tweet and invited her to call in. This was her little moment in the sun…and she was in way over her head.
 
You’ll see a retraction/restatement fairly soon.

I’m surprised at all the people telling her to run it by her husband. If she wants to say something, she should be allowed to say it. In addition, I think what she said is important to the national dialogue on compensation to college athletes for the entertainment they perform.

How is anyone surprised that people want to give Texas players free drinks and free meals? How is anyone surprised that there are grown men who are trying to live vicariously through 18-22 year old men because of shortcomings in their own life? How is anyone surprised that some players think “Mack Brown has a giant house and I can barely pay for a Chipotle burrito”?

I think MORE people that are athletes and close friends/family of athletes need to talk about their experiences with the life of a college athlete off the field. This is the more interesting, more newsworthy part of sports. I’d love to hear what Aaron Williams and his friends have to say about what Rachel said, as well as their own experiences with being offered free meals, etc., while at Texas.

I agree with what Sasha said.

Let her talk about the free drinks and meals she got at Baylor,(for playing for Baylor or for being Blonde) and leave Texas players problems to those Texas players.

I’ve made a lot of dumb ass mistakes in my life; but hell, when I do it’s always in the pursuit of high adventure, magnificent treasures and the glory of Rome. What was she trying to accomplish? Why even make that call?

Maybe she just made a mistake, but if it turn out she had an angle, I sure hope she found whatever she was looking for.

She is obviously not very smart. I doubt Colt married her for her brain.

I’m supposed to answer questions for Texas quarterbacks.

Rachel was a college athlete, is married to a very well-renowned college/pro athlete, and from here seems to be pretty camera-friendly. If she wants to take up the cause of pushing for compensation for college athletes, I’m all for her picking an appropriate forum and leading/joining in a conversation – and I imagine she’d be granted opportunities to do so. Taking this approach does literally nothing to advance that agenda (to the extent that said agenda, or anything cogent at all, was driving her call) while setting up a nuisance or worse for her husband and his alma mater. Rachel has the right to say what she wants and the responsibility to deal with the repercussions – lucky for Colt that he gets to share in that responsibility.

Under the laws of the land and the powers that be, I don’t see a path that ends in college athletes being compensated ‘fairly’ for their efforts. The closest thing may be if Delaney gets his way and college football’s ‘haves’ create a stipend system that tax the ‘have nots’ out of what we understand as D-1. But ‘fair’ is not going to happen, as anything you pay to the football players who make money for the school you have to pay the volleyball players, softball players and swimmers whose ‘fair’ share of earnings can be approximated by the equation jack / shit.

Well, if nothing else, I get how Colt ended up with her. Let’s be honest, no matter how big a fan of Colt one might be, you have to think it would take a girl with a fair amount of cranial vacancy to listen to a stream of consciousness from Colt. I had a hard enough time making it through one of his post-game interviews with how long it took him to spit out a coherent thought.

Brett Favre calls this “pulling a Sterger”

Pretty sure the dastardly Jim Delany is behind this.

Pretty sure the dastardly Nick Saban is behind this.

Pretty sure the dastardly Rhett Bomar agrees with this.

Pretty sure the dastardly Karl Malone approves of free hunting trips ofr little Mexican girls.

File those comments under “S” for “Shit Everyone Else Already Knew”.

This is EXACTLY what every other school in the Big 12 points to when UT fans get on their high horse. Is UT itself dirty? HELL NO. I’d argue they’re as clean as any university in America. Is the coaching staff dirty? Negative, Ghostrider. I’d expect to see more USC-type recruiting success.

But are there some boosters out there who are slimy shitbirds happy to drop a few Benjamins on college kids to feel important? Yes, and they are attached to every program in D1 football. That means you, too, Texas. It doesn’t make you cheaters. It makes you a big fucking deal in college football.

Damn, some you expect here to actually understand how the media works?

Nate is right. I’d be very shocked if UT players weren’t being offered things by boosters independently of the program, perhaps routinely. The big boosters know better but there’s probably a handful of small-timers – maybe restaurant owners who think that a few free meals now could mean an ad endorsement from an NFL star somewhere down the line, or something like that.

Good news is, Mack is very good at communicating with players about that stuff. Post-Big-Red, I’m sure Stoops is too. Not so sure that strain of conversation comes up as much at other schools that play a similar caliber of football.

Colt needs to get busy making her a baby so she has something important to worry her pretty little head about.

FULL ON SEXIST!!! YEAH!!!

Cleve Bryant agrees and would be happy to help.

C Redding was just on the radio, and this came up. He said something along the lines of “[yeah, some people might get pressured, but at UT you have to do things right and refuse those hand outs]”

This was of course a ridiculously stupid thing for her to do, but Nate is exactly right. Get close with players at any big-time program and you’ll see plenty of this. Unfortunately.

She is an idiot!!!!!!! I hope this does not prompt the NCAA to investigate these so called players that did not have Colt’s fortitude. We don’t want the NCAA snooping around, because if they do they will find something and we can thank Colt’s wife for that.

Roland,

Just put on some Billy Ocean and relax. Nothing will come of this.

Chase Wolfe for the loss.

She’d get a stern warning if we were lawfully wedded.

Rache, just sit there and look pretty, mkay?

You truly haven’t lived until you’ve seen The General in downward dog.

I’m glad bony blonde stick figures aren’t my type. Otherwise, I might not be able to maintain my objectivity on this story. My enraged, condescending objectivity.

Remember when everyone was crazy to protect the privacy of Colt’s mysterious girlfriend?

Now she tweets. Stay tuned for the feature story by Laken Litman.

The trolls have stepped it up a notch on this thread

Would anyone here admit they have helped out the occassional poor player at Texas?

You’ll see a retraction/restatement fairly soon.

I guess she’ll say she saw it at Baylor.

Colin…here’s the problem with your solution…it’s not illegal to give anyone money..therefore the US courts won’t back you up..it’s only against NCAA regulations if you accept the money!

Remember, Colt does play in OHIO now. Maybe she’s just trying to make all the overlapping Browns/OSU fans feel a little better by spreading the pain.

Or, since she’s a Baylor alum, maybe she was drunk after watching their baseball team implode at the end of the game the other night.

Cowherd dismissed it as a non story this morning. Much to the disappointment of the mouth breathers on texags, no one cares.

No more so at least than a conservative blogger seizing on pictures of a liberal Wiener to provide an indictment of liberals in general.

Speaking as someone on the left side of the dial, shut up.

I know a booster with a heart of gold that just wants to help the kids out.

Name’s Buddy Garrity, and he just likes to let the kids have a nice ride in one of his cars every now and then is all…

We always try to say, TEXAS is super-clean!! There is smoke, and a summer fire is heating up. There are those that will run with this story………hope there are no real "investigators’ out there anymore…..we may not like what they find. Thats the trouble when you live in a glass house!

Duke of Earl, I can see very plainly that you are a Texas fan! Because you used the word “we” and everything!
 
I am very concerned as well!

Scipio……I see what you are implying (not the case here….I don’t fish)…..but WE should be concerned. This comes on the heels right after tOSU and USC crap, plus the NCAA doing absolutely nothing on Cam Newton’s deal. They got a bad rep on Cam, and will do everything to save face, so if someone runs with this and doesn’t let it go, they might do a little snoop-dogging. Glass houses bro!

Glass houses bro!

Come at my glass house, bro! Come at it, bro!

Let’s twitter, Rachel.

Ronnie, you’ve got me too scared to pick up a rock……it ain’t your glass house I’m worried about…..

It’s off-season. We’re bored. She’s blonde, she’s moderately cute. She’s an NFL QBs former girlfriend, now first wife. She did something that most of us think was fairly stupid.

Speaking of entertainment news, did anyone see Lady Gaga this morning? Wasn’t she wearing BURNT ORANGE PANTIES? Or was that just cheap spray-on tan?

No surprise there. She’s probably a booster and offered every guy on the team a blow job. Integrity having nothing to do with it, they all turned her down. Fear of teeth marks, IMO.

I was referencing the Lady gaga thing, by the way. Nothing to do with Weiner(s).

This reminded me of the first season of The Wire, where the police are interrogating the kingpin’s nephew. They’re being friendly and he starts to open up to them, and all of a sudden his uncle’s lawyer comes in like WTF ARE YOU DOING! STOP TALKING TO THE POLICE! THEY ARE NOT YOUR FRIENDS!

Colin Cowherd is a known trouble-maker. Nothing good can come out of a player’s wife talking to him. If she wants to talk to the media, she needs a PR guy, and if the media wants to talk to her, they had damn sure better go through the PR guy.

This isn’t a politics discussion board, gents. Take it somewhere else.

Just great…..it becomes a topic on CFB live earlier today…..and now, Deloss has issued a statement……why? If nothing to see here, then why even bother? This just gives “legs” to the story. Best thing was to avoid it altogether and let it die out on its own.

I just deleted all of the political shit.
 
Magnus, you’re a fucking springer spaniel when someone pretends to throw a ball when politics come up. You pour kerosene on every fire and it’s getting old. Practice impulse control.
 
roach, this isn’t a politics board and your analogy sucked. Shut the fuck up.
 
Neither of you need to respond. Move along.

Vasherized,
This isn’t going to go away! Her stupid ass foul up was on College Football Live on ESPN yesterday and the host alluded to the NCAA probing into Texas. Take a look at this link from another media source: http://www.gacksports.com/50544/it-looks-like-the-texas-longhorns-are-next-on-the-ncaa%E2%80%99s-hit-list/
Colt’s wife fucked up by saying what she said. Point blank she said Texas players who were teammates of Colt took things. Why would she say that because she is stupid and was not thinking. I know Texas is a clean program, but if the NCAA looks around they are going to find something.

Hey, wouldn’t it be funny if Clipper Cooper was one of the boosters that Rachel McCoy ran into. I’d imagine some great stories could come out of that.

Wouldn’t that be funny, Scipio.

Wouldn’t it.

We are naive if we think this is a non event. It will be looked into now if even minimally. The NCAA is being flat out called out by the wife of the quarterback with the most wins in their history.

We like to think our noses are clean, but there are knowns and unknowns. The unknowns are what bite your ass every time. That’s why you never want to be audited by the IRS. Why blab your stupid mouth if you don’t understand what you are implying? Or, maybe you understand it fully. Does Rachel have an agenda?

If you are hoping for just stupid, it doesn’t excuse her childlike ineptitude. The next thing that’s going to happen is someone is going to visit her and Colt and hold up a doll asking them to show where the booster tried to touch them.

I will hate her to no end if Mack Brown ends up having to make a statement about this.

Bevo is ESPN’s new cash cow…….no way they let this get out of hand! Mack will appear on CFB live in a day or two and make a statement clearing it all up. That being said, watch out for “sports by brooks”….glass houses and someone’s gonna throw a stone!

if Mack Brown ends up having to make a statement about this…

“It was obvious that she wasn’t warmed up, and even if she had been, she couldn’t find her helmet.”

Didn’t she tinker with TV journalism for awhile?
I apologize if I’m mistaken, but it’s possible she’s trying to get back in the game.

The off-season cannot end too soon.

Didn’t she tinker with TV journalism for awhile?

Huh… I thought it read “Tv journalists”. Made more sense thataway.

Rachel McCoy added more evidence to the stupid blonde file with her comments! How can she be so stupid? It is obvious that her intelligence is way overrated. Baylor should give her a full refund for the money she wasted on her education! How ignorant can one person be?? I hope it sparks an investigation in the University of Texas! Rachel McCoy thanks for being such a dip shit, and once again confirming how stupid blondes can be!!! Way to go idiot!

Nothing will ever happen to UT now that ESPN has a vested interest in what happens to them. ESPN barely mentioned what Rachel said while the other services were talking about it.

Every year it gets a little harder to be a fan of college athletics.
