Random Hotness

Today's random hotness comes courtesy of College Football Live. Because I am starved for anything and everything college football, here are seven things that I took away from the first program of the season:

One: We start with a montage of intros from around the world, in many different languages. I'm guessing this is to remind us that the World Wide Leader is, indeed, world wide. Unlike, for example, college football.

Two: Brent Musburger introduced Jesse Palmer and Todd Blackledge, but not himself. That's not funny or anything, I just thought I would point out the little tidbit.

Three: Today (and, evidently, for many days to come), we are going to be subject to brackets to decide which helmet is the best in college sports. Is there really nothing better to do on this show than have a bracket to decide which helmet is the best in college sports?* Really? Perhaps actual analysis? Or do I ask too much of the WWL?

Four: During an interview with Tim Tebow, we learn that Tim Tebow is saving the world, one orphan at the time. Which we knew. We also learn that Tim Tebow loves him some Kenny Chesney. Could this end in a fight to the death between Tim Tebow and Peyton Manning for the love of a bald country superstar? A girl can only hope.

Five: Jim Tressel is on the show and he is not wearing a sweater vest! Avert your eyes! Also, just FYI, Jim Tressel does a horrible, horrible Inspector Clouseau impersonation. If ever you find yourself in a situation where Jim Tressel is going to start doing impersonations, consider yourself warned, and avert your ears.

Six: Random comment selected to appear on-screen during the Jim Tressel piece, which requires no comment: "I know the Bucks are going to go unbeaten and win the title. The only question is whether Beanie Wells wins the Heisman."

Seven: Georgia beat Miami in the first of the brackets to choose the best helmet in college football. Because I know you were totally on edge waiting for that result.

*Especially because the obvious answer is the helmet of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. No bracket needed to answer that question.
