We tuned in again last night to ESPN’s interactive Tuesday college football game.  This time, it was Troy at Florida Atlantic.  Unfortunately, the network decided to “upgrade” is commentators this week, giving us Rece Davis, Mark May, and Lou Holtz.  We assume Holtz provided some comments to pke fun at last night, only we could not understand more than every 5th word out of his mouth.  And we’re pretty sure that the crew spent 15 minutes discussing whether a guy with the last name Jernigan who played for Holtz at Notre Dame was related to Troy wide receiver Jerrel Jernigan (I think they decided he wasn’t).

Anyway, we gre to realize as the game progressed that the interactive comments scrolling atop the screen were chosen by the same people who choose ESPN.com’s featured comment of the day.   Hence, too many spelling errors or totally generic statements for us to waste time with.  However, there was one comment that stood out among the rest.  This was from someone texting in the comment, so no username, and it read exactly as follows:

“LSU is overated based on they did last year.”

We need a little help on this one, as we’re not exactly sure what this means.  Are they saying that compared to the team that won the title and finished first last year, this team is overrated ranked in the top5?  Are they saying that this LSU team is ranked too high and got that ranking because of winning the title last season?  Is LSU overrated this year because last year’s team lost 2 games and this year’s team is still undefeated?

We really are at a loss on this one.

I’m not sure you can really get away with making fun of ESPN for not being “polished” with all the misspellings in this piece.

I think they are saying that LSU did “it” to last year. Last year told this year how good it was so this year wants LSU ranked high so LSU will do “it” to this year.
