ESPN’S FACE OF THE PROGRAM: FURTHER SUBMISSIONS
ESPN’s “Face of the Program” rolls on, and oh what a twisted, unpredictable path they weave! Did you know they picked a crazy night scene of Tiger Stadium at night as the face of LSU’s program, and not a raging Cecil Collins looking in through a woman’s window? And did you drop jaw to floor when they chose the “U” logo for Miami, and not any one of a host of promising competitors filled with what we regard as the true spirit of Miami football?
We’ll just let one of ESPN’s ace commenters take it from here to explain their avant-garde choice:
There’s really a few images. Above all what the image is the the U … That logo says all you need to know.
Strange, but they like to keep you on your toes at the WWL. Look, they split up John Anderson and Scott Van Pelt! ARE THEY MADMEN OR GENIUSES?
We continue our feeble attempts to give programs the faces they deserve, even if the WWL is busy astonishing us all by making their quirky, unpredictable choices. You go crazypants madballs all you like: we’ll just stick with the predictable, traditional ones, man. It’s what we here in Blogfrica do.
Florida International. Ma, I’ll be there. Wherever there’s a fight so hungry people can eat, I’ll be there. Wherever there’s a cop beatin’ up a guy, I’ll be there. I’ll be in the way guys yell when they’re mad – I’ll be in the way kids laugh when they’re hungry an’ they know supper’s ready. An’ when the people are eatin’ the stuff they raise, and livin’ in the houses they build – I’ll be there, too.”–Ned, October 14, 2006.

And they never caught him, did they?
USC Fight on, Inappropriately Cheering USC Trojan cheerleader. Even if you can’t decide what or when to cheer, exactly.

Yay, looting!
Florida. Hey, ESPN’s got its curveballs, we’ve got ours. Old and busted, jean shorts; new hotness, Don’t Tase Me, Bro.

I think I speak for us all (humanity) when I say that I covet LSUFreek’s mad photoshopping skills.

If “looter guy” would have copyrighted his image, he would never have to worry where his next Heineken came from.

LSUFreek has produced the ne plus ultra USC song girl farks. There can be no better fark, and just as Renaissance pictures are labeled “in the style of…,” so too will any future attempts at the USC Song Girl Fark be labeled “in the style of LSUFreek.”

3 best photoshops ever, except for maybe the Weis/Matrix weapons one from awhile back. Outstanding.

Why does the 300 guy look so much like John Kerry?

A’mod Ned never gets old. Ever. As for the “face of the program” junk, I’m a little urked but not shocked by Switzer as OU’s face. It’s cool to have a rockstar type coach, but rockstars have omega huge skeletons in their closets. I’d have preferred Bud Wilkinson, the Wishbone, or, the more up-to-date zeitgeist of The Visor. Last place? Pleated khaki slacks with cuffs, always awesome when worn with blindingly white pair of running shoes. Nike, for the love of all things holy, at least think about making some brown oxfords for the coaches. They look like tools.

My experiences on I-85, I-77, I-20, and I-95 tell me it is a steel caged death match as to whether South Carolina or Georgia has the most Waffle Houses, per square mile.

Well done, Freek, but please, for the love of God, no animated .GIFs of Mike Cooper.
Thanks in advance,

Now, boys. Cheerleading is tough work. Sometimes it is hard to recognize your own team. All those uniforms look the same.

How LSU didn’t end up with this is beyond me. God knows I can’t forget it, no matter how many times I pour bleach in my ear canal:

#9 , I would have also preferred for the face of Oklahoma to have been Wilkinson. Without Wilkinson there would have been no game winning tradition for Switzer to build upon. Also, in homage to Garrison Keillor, Wilkinson earned his Masters in English.

A few miles from where I live, there are two Waffle Houses seperated by an eighth of a mile. South Cack has nothing on Georgia.

By God, it is John Kerry. I just immediately assumed it was Pete Carroll.

Coop-
Thanks to Kevin Garnett, South Carolina has changed its name. Hereafter it is to be known as “South Cak”.
I think Gawga wins the most WH/sq mi. But, Exit 16 on I-77 in Charlotte once had two at the same exit.

Is there a compilation of LSU Freaks work anywhere. Some sort of Freak Gallery?
