High Expectations

Everybody imagines a fairy tale story for when you propose. Apparently this is a trend that is catching on in college football as well.

If you don’t know the story already, after the Boise St. Broncos upset Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl, Boise St. running back Ian Johnson completed the true fairy tale story. He scored the winning touchdown and ran straight to his cheerleader girlfriend and got on one knee. She said yes and it was a true fairy tale ending as Boise St. was the “Cinderella” of the bowl season.

Colt McCoy wanted to take a page from Ian Johnson’s book. It was all set up. He was in the National Championship game, and he had dreamed of proposing to his (incredibly hot) girlfriend after an improbable upset over Alabama. The only thing wrong with Colt’s plan? He got his shit stuffed on the 5th play of the game, and his team lost. Colt was probably too salty to propose after he just watched the other team lift the trophy and with one arm in a sling. Time for plan B.

So yesterday, Colt McCoy brought his incredibly hot girlfriend to midfield at Darrell K. Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium and got on one knee on the center of the longhorn logo. The words “Will you marry me” was on the stadium’s giant high definition scoreboard. She said yes… you lucky bastard.


This got me thinking… These are such corny proposals that probably give girls goosebumps. These set the bar pretty high, so how are us ordinary guys supposed to top these?

What am I supposed to do… hide a ring inside of an egg roll??

Thanks a lot Colt!
