WE’LL BITE: THE FACE OF THE PROGRAM, EDSBS-STYLE
In a concept as meaningful and innovative as their “Who’s Now” segments, ESPN is asking college football fans to submit their suggestions for “The Face of The Program:”
Every football school has a Face of the Program, that iconic image you think of when talking football on campus. Here’s your chance to help define who or what that is. Is it that fabled coach? A legendary player? A memorable play? A unique mascot? SportsNation is taking all suggestions as you help decide the Face of the Program.
Oh, boy howdy do we ever have suggestions! And they’re all totally sincere trust us yes! For your school, if you’re as fond of mockery as we are, you’ll go ahead and submit one of our handy nominees listed below. Feel free to copy and paste the image location, as we’d like nothing more than
Florida.
Miami.
Michigan.
South Florida.
Alabama.
Alabama program image currently property of Auburn University, a Subsidiary of Bobby Lowder Enterprises.
Ohio State.
Notre Dame.
Well, what are we supposed to use? Knute Rockne?
South Carolina
Please feel free to leave your own below.

ATLIllini says:
After the NCAA labeled Chief Illiniwek ‘hostile and abusive,’ the University of Illinois set about to find another symbol for the school’s athletic teams. Asked specifically about the possibility of being the only Bowl Subdivision team without a mascot, Head Coach [Name Redacted] promised, “we’ll get it corrected.”
And did they ever. In an unprecedented effort, Illinois fans commissioned Illie (http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b329/illie24/shua/illie_looks_like.jpg) as a replacement. Illie is a loveable, and more importantly, wholly inoffensive symbol of the one of America’s greatest public universities.
[Any resemblance to the mascot of Western Kentucky University, Grimace and /or Charlie Weis is wholly coincidental]
