We moaned endlessly during the season when Hawaii got props for going unbeaten through a creampuff regular season schedule. We watched gleefully as Georgia pummeled the Hell out of Hawaii (and Brennan in particular) in the Sugar Bowl. We blogged about the amazing comments left on ColtBrennanblog.com in the wake of that cruel, cruel beating.
ESPN.com currently has an article up dealing with Brennan's quest to sweep up the broken remains of his football dreams from wherever Georgia scattered them. He's set to represent the South as one of three QBs in the Senior Bowl. Says Brennan:
The only thing that bowl game did for me was that it gave me great motivation and determination for these next few months. . . [t]he fact that we lost that game and the way we lost it kind of brought me back down a level. I've really attacked my workouts and been able to get ready. This is my chance to show what I can do when everything's the same for everybody.
Adorable! "When everything's the same for everybody?" Is that code for "my team was awful at the Sugar Bowl?" (Hint: it is, they were, and Brennan played poorly too).
Did any sports media outlet follow up on how Brennan's doing at Senior Bowl practices so far? Why, yes:
Colt Brennan/QB/Hawaii: Brennan's inadequate arm strength is obvious to all in attendance. His passes lack any velocity which gives the defensive backs extra time to break up his throws, something that's been a common occurrence.
'Lo, how the overrated have continued to fall! We can't help but to harbor some glee that Brennan's draft stock continues to plummet. Perhaps it's because former coach June Jones, in boasting of Brennan's abilities, derided Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow as a "system quarterback."
Hm. Actually, it's exactly that.
