John David Booty Video

Speaking of the Heisman Trophy, this John David Booty highlight video is incredibly well done by the folks at TrojanWire.  Booty's accuracy is ridiculous.

Another year in "the system" for this guy?

He throws f-reakin laser beams! John David's gonna fight and tear it up in a TrojanNation.

Provided the defense does its job and takes the ball away this year — giving Booty a shorter field instead of an 80-yard engineering feat, expect a really special season for USC.

Not My Thing

But amusing nonetheless: BoiFromTroy's top 25 College Football's Hottest Men.

Most of the professional female athletes don't do much for me, but I imagine a Top 25 College Soccer's/College Track's/College Cross-Country's Hottest Women list might be interesting.

From The Seattle Times (link).  Pac-10 officials are clearly not getting the love (deservedly).
