    Yes, the pillar of truth amongst corruption, that steward of all that is good and just, the resident ESPN LSU homer himself, the legendary Mark May, has done the unthinkable. He said something mind-numbingly stupid.

    He said that after the Arkansas lost, they're a more appealing BCS option than LSU. He even broke down the effects of the LSU-Arkansas result to the three teams whose BCS hopes it affects most- USC, Arkanas, and Florida.

    He claims that they're still more appealing because of the play of their running back- less than 12 hours after we just proved that though he is a better college player than- gasp! blasphemy!- Reggie Bush (cause he is). A literally one-dimensional team (though a very, very, very good one) is a better option than the team that just showed how well-rounded we really are.

    WTF? Umm, doesn't a certain team gain from this? Mark, you must be confusing us with that OTHER SEC West team out of the picture. You'll notice the difference is that we don't have 3 nicknames/greetings/whatever for our team. (To quote Seinfeld) ...not that there's anything wrong with that.

    :geauxtige retard. With the "eaux."

    I love how they reach to make a story. Who knows what strings he is trying to tug on to get the match-up ABC/ESPN wants in their bowl games they televise?

    Ok, does Mark May not even get the fact that Arkansas at this point either goes to the Sugar as the SEC Champs or is out of the top 14 in the BCS standings with a loss to Florida and stands absolutely no phucking chance whatsoever to be in a comparison debate as to which SEC team is a more appealing at-large choice?

    Dude has totally lost it. Time to fire his ass as well for being just plain dumb (as opposed to Trev for being an ass).

    I mean come on, they pay this dude how much money? And he is totally ignorant of how the BCS actually works? That's really embarrassing for ESPN. But I don't know if they even care or know enough themselves to even care.

    Give me 1/3 of his salary. I'll take the damn job.

    May wanted to make his pick to the BCSNC (USC) sound better after the Arky lost even though it hurt their chances. Begging for voters to give USC and chance and keep Arky high in the human polls.
