I was about to start a thread on the same thing. Really makes me feel old. I noticed how good looking she was and at first i thought she was his girlfriend. Did you also see that drop dead georgeous blonde sitting with her. I guess that's his sister. Also , Miississippi quaterback's mom also is from Texas and was even foxier. They showed her quite a few times during the Texas Tech game. I would find myself hoping they would show more of the Mom's.
You don't have to be "old" which I am, to appreciate a good looking woman of any age. When I WAS young I liked older gals, now I really do. Not that it does me much good. There's an actress named Helen Miran (sp) that I saw nude in a movie when she was about 30. She's over 60 now, just saw her in a bikini and she's just as great. Sorry no pics. :toast:

McCoy’s Heisman hopes hinge on A&M

Late-season rivalry games frequently have national and conference championship implications, but the Heisman Trophy can be won - or lost - in them, too.

In 1997, Michigan’s Charles Woodson clinched the Heisman with an outstanding performance against Ohio State. Ten years later, Florida’s Tim Tebow did the same by accounting for five touchdowns in a victory over Florida State.
But in 2005, Texas quarterback Vince Young’s Heisman hopes faded in a mediocre outing in a 40-29 victory over Texas A&M. USC’s Reggie Bush won instead.
The Heisman once again may be won - or lost - in rivalry games this season. The race is extremely close, and many of the top contenders face an archrival this week.
Texas quarterback Colt McCoy has made a strong surge in the second half of the season and has completed 76.9 percent of his passes for nearly 1,500 yards and 14 touchdowns in the past five games. On Thanksgiving Day, Texas A&M plays host to Texas, which is 1-2 against the Aggies with McCoy at quarterback.
Longhorns coach Mack Brown thinks McCoy can win the Heisman if the continues his second-half surge.
“I’ve seen Ricky [Williams] win the Heisman. I saw Vince go to the Heisman [ceremonies] and come in second. I saw Colt go and come in second,” Brown said. “I learned there are a lot of great players across the country and differences of opinions of who should win. What has happened with Colt the last five weeks is phenomenal.
“I think Colt is healthier after the first part of the season. Also, our team is playing better around him, and he’s comfortable with his receivers now. The guy, in my experience, that wins the Heisman does it in the last three games of the season. I think he’s on course to do that.”
But so is Alabama running back Mark Ingram, who many consider the front-runner. Ingram needs a strong showing against Auburn in the Iron Bowl to maintain that status.
Even Tebow, who hasn’t had a dominant season, could get more consideration if he has a big game against Florida State.
Clemson’s C.J. Spiller lost a lot of momentum with a lackluster showing against Virginia last week. But a dominant performance against archrival South Carolina would boost his chances.
The only top contender that doesn’t face an archrival is Stanford running back Toby Gerhart. But the Cardinal closes the regular season against Notre Dame. A big game against the Irish always helps a Heisman hopeful.
1. RB Mark Ingram, Alabama: Ingram now has the nation’s fourth-highest rushing total with 1,399 yards. He gained 102 in last week’s win over Chattanooga, but that came on just 11 carries. In fact, Ingram hasn’t been given the opportunity to boost his numbers against poor opponents. He’s had his fewest amount of carries in games against Chattanooga, North Texas, FIU and Arkansas - games in which Alabama won by at least 28 points.
2. RB Toby Gerhart, Stanford: Even in a loss, Gerhart’s 134-yard, four touchdown performance against Cal cannot be ignored. Gerhart has exceeded 100 rushing yards in seven of the past eight games, and he has the country’s second-highest rushing total with 1,531 yards. He also leads the nation with 23 rushing touchdowns.
3. QB Case Keenum, Houston: He has thrown for 4,599 yards, the highest total in the nation by more than 1,000 yards. Keenum’s 36 touchdown passes also lead the nation. Keenum threw for 405 yards in last week’s win over Memphis. It was the sixth time this season he has surpassed 400 passing yards - and he played less than three quarters.
4. QB Colt McCoy, Texas: An early favorite, McCoy is making a strong late charge. Over the past five games, McCoy has completed 76.9 percent of his passes (130-of-169) for 1,487 yards and 14 touchdowns, with two interceptions. The nation’s most accurate passer with a 72.9 completion percentage, McCoy has thrown for 3,024 yards and 23 touchdowns and ranks fourth in the nation in passing and 10th in passing efficiency.
5. RB C.J. Spiller, Clemson: A pedestrian 58-yard rushing performance in a victory over Virginia hurt Spiller’s chances. But his complete body of work shouldn’t be ignored. He ranks third in the nation in all-purpose yardage at 187.8 per game, and he’s also third in kickoff returns at 33.9 yards per return. He’s the only player in the country to score a touchdown in every game this season.
