Let's get it started ...

I've always been a sucker for good, quality montages of sporting events. Back in 1992, I remember borrowing from Xon his recorded copy of Game Four of the 1992 World Series, which had a remarkable score and a really cool shot of Tom Glavine to close it out.

So, and Kyle at Dawg Sports linked to something like this a little while back, I'd like to ask what song ESPN will pick for its College Gameday theme this year. For two years, they used Bubba Sparxxx's 'Back in the Mud' which was an excellent pick ... and, yes, the fact the guy is a huge Georgia fan who insists on sticking Steve Herndon into every video did play a role in my decision. But also, ESPN required him to record new versions each week to reflect the big games of the day.

This was the far superior choice to open up a day of college football than ESPN's selection last year, Big and Rich's 'Coming to Your City.' Though I will say that ESPN gets bonus points for four Georgia clips, including a D.J. Shockley dive into the end zone and Greg Blue demolishing an Auburn wide receiver.
