I’ve been debating the waste of time that was ESPN’s “Face of the Program” gimmick. Essentially trying to pick one player or iconic image that would define a program at its best. It’s been mostly lame. For several schools they have been stuck with just the logo.
Pitt was a no-brainer for ESPN in going with Tony Dorsett. Not only was he the school’s greatest running back, won the Heisman, wore the cool uni and was a hall of fame pro player. He also led a Pitt team to a national championship.
That’s the one thing that trumps all the other poll choices in Dan Marino and Hugh Green. Larry Fitzgerald and Curtis Martin never had a shot.
Yes, that I even wasted a post on it is an obvious sign that news and info is drying up just before the July 4th holiday.
