The road sign on U.S. 83 that welcomes you to Texas Longhorns quarterback Colt McCoy’s hometown needs updating because it states, “Tuscola, population 714.” That head count was taken 10 years ago. “I imagine we’re pretty close to 800 now,” city secretary Billie Pearce said. “I loved it,” McCoy said of growing up in Tuscola, where he went 34-2 as a starter at Jim Ned High. “I think all 700 people probably have an autograph at this point.” Texas coaches who recruited McCoy liked to joke that Tuscola was so remote, the hunting got better the closer you got to town.
