A tournament for the "coolest helmet" includes Notre Dame (classic look, but not cool), A&M (butt-ugly), Miami (somewhere in between the two) and Penn State (some high school team's practice helmets?)

That SMU is not in that tournament - and winning it, or at least beating those four - says all you need to know about the tournament. It's ESPN pandering to schools with enormous fan bases so they'll all log in and vote.

Yawn.

ESPN needs to stick to reporting sports...all this crap, along with the "Titletown USA" BS just takes away from the greatness that ESPN used to be.

I miss the big show.

I hear ESPN is going to do a daily expose on Brett Favre and his early days of poddy training.

I like the USC helmet so I'll vote for them. Actually I'm a pretty big fan of SC. Emmanuel Moody fan. Now at Florida. Hated to see him leave.

Makes you wonder how Nevada and South Florida made it into this group, right? At least this pointless poll is online only. The Titletown USA crap has got to be over soon or I will drive up to Bristol and go postal on somebody.

Absolutely right 'guy. ESPN is part of the BCS-BS so they're all tied in together. There ya go. :wink:
