Colt McCoy is dating a Baylor Runner...sic em' horns

Now THAT is some HORRIBLE writing!

it's a knock-off of an article with less absurdity.

Okay, here we go.

First, I believe the term is "HOOK 'em, 'Horns"--i.e., metaphorically speaking, "stick the opposition with those long horns, you University of Texas Longhorns."

Second, the apostrophe goes in place of what's missing. What's missing from em? Right, the initial th. Hence: 'em is the correct punctuation.

Third, the link takes us to one of the worst-written pieces of (alleged) English ever. OP, if that's your work I sincerely hope that English is not your first language--or at least that you're not a student at the University of Texas. What an ignoramus.

Those paragraphs look like they were originally penned in German by some non-German-speaking nursery school lummox, then run through several different languages on an online translator until they finally reached an "English" version, then got condensed by some program that spits out keywords.

The brilliant author deserves a Pull It Surprise.

ARE YOU KIDDING? SHE'S A 72-SECOND 400m HURDLER?

God he is ugly... she is way out of his league

AAAANNNNDDDD this is what's wrong with the fun boys here at letsrun. Have you looked at her pictures. In doing so, what % do you think her 72 second 400m hurdle time played in that guys decision to make a move? Now contrast that with yourself, who even brought it up...exactly.

And on the flipside, to what degree did she care about his 5k time or his bf%?

No, exactly. He's a normal dude with an athletic physique (not 'anorexic runner athletic') who might be ugly but, oh yes, just happens to be one of the best known names in sport.

You must have missed the 75-second 400m (no hurdles).

Dude, I don't give a sh!t whom she's hooked up with--I wish them both well--what I want to know is how a DI program RECRUITS (

) a HS 2:21 800m runner whose best performance, to date, for her college is a 72sec 400mH!

I have seen something like this on one or two other DI colleges' sites, actually: a woman running >13:00 for 3000m (for a Big East school!), for instance. Just shows how friggin' desperate schools must be to keep their participation numbers up for females...

400H in 1:12. Holy crap.

And he will become a millionaire in less than a year. I sure as hell wouldn't care about her PRs if I had ready access to someone with her looks. I wouldn't even care that she's a sheltered, religious girl.

Hang on, though. Maybe there's something to this. I dated a girl on my college team who wasn't competitive at all and could only run a mile in about 5:40.

You guessed it. She took so long that I was always done before she was.

Maybe it's good to have one who can get to the finish line quickly after all.

Like she was the only one you've been a 5-minute with. Unless she was your only one, period.

None of the others took so long. They were all moaning after a few minutes. Unfortunately, half of them later admitted to faking it and the other half admitted to moaning just to keep from laughing. But hey, I'm a selfish jerk who I got what I wanted, so whooooo caaaaares?!!!!

Dude, I ams assuming you ARE a dude. Is this it? This is your contribution? Wow, any girl would be very lucky to be stuck, I mean with you on a date. Really...

6 ft tall. That must be pretty fun.

I would take her in lane 4. That way if the 5K or 10K was going on I wouldn't hold up the meet.
