ESPN's Hot 100 List

It still bugs me that Ben Olson didn't even make it on ESPN's hot 100 list. I guess he'll just have to climb to the top the hard way...
It seems like ESPN sportswriters just make random statements, and explain why they were right or wrong. Who cares if they're always wrong; they can explain why! (Look how quickly and drastically their opinion of Cal changed)
Also, I cannot wait for the Ben Olson-Brady Quinn throw-off. Notre Dame scrapes by with a 14-10 win, and it's a beautiful thing somehow. Notre Dame is still the most amazing team on earth, and Brady Quinn showed just how gutsy he can be after a shitty performance, thereby ensuring 14,000 more cover pages and pointless stories. If we don't jump onto the polls this week, I will have completely given up on ESPN.
My vision, come Oct. 21st: Southpaw Jesus walks onto the field and glares at "Touchdown Jesus" for a good minutes or two, then smirks and begins a thorough stomping of the overrated Irish.

To be fair...

Ivan Maisel "welcomed back" Ben Olson and Lou Holtz gave him "helmet stickers."

Lou Holtz actually has his pulse on the game

of college football. His opinions mean sooooooo much more to me the Kirk Herbst or Dennis Dodd. Both of his game stickers went to two amazing performances that were overlooked by the jagoffs at ESPN or CBS. ESPN has an agenda to promote certain teams (USC,Notre Dame.) These teams will always get extra attention for beating teams they should (Arkansa,Georgia Tech.) Unless they get upset we will have to listen and read how great they are. Why is this you ask? Because ESPN is trying to build storylines to get people to watch. I like flying under the radar. Maybe we'll be the ones to knock certain teams off the pedestal. GO BRUINS!!!! KEEP TACKLING!! STAY CLASSY!!!
