Stats Manipulation
LOTS of comments and e-mails. Making friends and influencing people in the Texas contingent. My favorite comment is the “great stats manipulation”…an inference that I’ve made up statistics. My friends – touchdown percentage, interception percentage, and yards per attempt are stats directly from the NCAA’s quarterback efficiency statistics page. They don’t JUST keep total yardage stats…although it appears you wish they did. These numbers should make a difference. How many yards does every pass attempt actually gain? How often does your quarterback throw a costly interception? These stats are all related to a QB’s Passer Rating…how efficient is your quarterbacK? This is probably the most important stat kept, particularly in the NFL.
There is also a huge outcry that the reason the Big 12 pass defenses are all ranked so low is because all of the offenses are so amazing that even your NFL caliber defenses can’t keep up. I hear you. I’ve started an analysis of your defenses over the past three years. I’ll publish a story in the next 24 hours with an analysis.
Also to come – a career analysis of McCoy and Tebow. Many have brought up the career wins record and how McCoy deserves the award just for that. While not a career award, I’d argue that the lack of a clear frontrunner this year should make the voters use that as a contingency category. So let’s look at those numbers.

Publishing the last 3 yrs would be yet "ANOTHER" skewed stat. You know you don't want to do the last "4" yrs since that would include those pesky 2005 Texas Longhorns which have more successful players playing Sundays than the entire 2005 SEC combined.
Its about *THIS* season & *THIS* season the Big XII has 8 teams in the top 50 for passing offense (or 7 in the top 40 if you want to use your skewed stats)
The SEC has 3 teams in the top 50 for passing offense. (1 in top 40)
If you can't see the correlation I'm drawing for you, then I would demand a refund from whatever community college you have a associates from ;p

Yes, I will demand a refund for my associates. LOL. Assuming we beat the team I'm actually worried about (Bama), we'll have plenty to talk about. I'll put a link to the site where I do my Championship Game Analysis (the one where last year I called Florida's D shutting down what was called one of the highest scoring offenses in history – the offense that threw for 387 and scored 45 (!) against your "vaunted" defense) so you and I can finish this.
But here's the little secret. Our second string guy would have beat McCoy out for the job had he not decided to come to Florida and sit behind the great Tebow.
I'll be getting you your four years of information when I can get to finishing it. I haven't had time to "manipulate" it (meaning cutting and pasting directly from NCAA.org. And I'll stop skewing the stats. I'll say the two pass defenses you've faced in the Top 70 rather than the Top 40. I thought I was doing you a favor.

Your delusion has reached epic status. John Brantley, a guy who cant even beat out a Fullback who throws, would beat out the winningest QB in NCAA history?

Wow, if you actually believe the crap you're spewing. Damn….
Oh, hey. Even Texas backup Qbs can beat your chump Florida team ;p Jevon Snead says:
.. I couldnt even beat out McCoy, but I beat Tebow

WHOAAAA! I missed this. Brantley, like Jevan Snead, and Lyin' Perrilloux couldn't handle the QB position at Texas so he, like the other two scurried off to the SEC where things are so much easier to play QB cuz nobody throws the ball. Brantly sucks.
I would be willing to bet you $ that Garrett Gilbert finishes with better #s than Brantley does next year. At least a friendly gentleman's bet. This is preposterous.
