Longhorns football open practice (Weds)
It looked like it was going to be a rainy night, but the skies cleared for Colt McCoy and the Longhorns at their first open practice of the year. It was a sea of burnt orange. I had my little MinoHD with me and lots of fans were taking pictures and so Icaught some of the highlight plays in the above youtube video and offered the full HD video to the BurntOrangeNation which has excellent coverage of the practice from a fan’s perspective. BurntOrangeNation in fact featured this video today.
This may be the best team since last years and the 2005 teams. DJ Grant was the only casualty of the practice, taking a hit from Earl Thomas, which is shown in the video. Some standouts in the video, James Kirkendoll (11, WR), Sherrod Harris (17, backup QB), Garrett Gilbert (3, backup QB), Vondrell McGee (2, RB) and of course number 12 Colt McCoy (starting QB).
In the final 20 seconds or so of the video, there’s Colt McCoy at the front of the bus as it departs Denius Fields with the whole Texas team. Like a bunch of schoolkids, I guess the bus will run them home. Texas looked sharp, Mack Brown seemed relaxed and analytical, and Colt McCoy was the cool, accurate passer with the potential to take the #2 ranked team to a showdown with Florida later this year.
