With today’s kick-off of the 95th Rose Bowl, we thought it only fitting to feature former 2000 Rose Queen beauty Sophia Bush as the first Miss COED of 2009.  In addition to her numerous big and small screen roles (National Lampoon’s Van Wilder and the WB’s One Tree Hill just to name a few), this buxom USC-ex was voted #90 on FHM’s Sexiest Women of 2007 and #24 on Maxim’s Hot 100 of the same year. Let’s hope 2009 brings us a little more Bush… Sophia Bush.

First comes Christmas, then New Year’s Eve – then college F’ing football! Now we think, like any good sports fan, that the BCS championship system is a load of crap. But it’s all we’ve got, so we’ll take it. Fortunately, the one thing not lacking in the BCS this year is smoking hot cheerleaders! We’ve compiled galleries of cheerleaders from every school playing a BCS bowl game and put them head to head. And guess who wins every single match-up…You!

Don’t get me wrong, there have been tons of truly amazing football players in the ranks of the NCAA – but there are a rare few that deserve recognition. Some have committed murder, yet others have gone on to illustrious careers that led to the Hall of Fame – some have done both. Cheers gentlemen!

Top Ten College Football Players of All-Time

10. Vince Young -Texas
In the 2006 Rose Bowl, he completed 30 of 40 passes for 267 yards and carried the ball 19 times for 200 yards and 3 rushing touchdowns. Those 200 rushing yards set a Bowl game rushing record by a QB. He was named Rose Bowl MVP for the second time in his career.

9. Tommy Nobis – Texas
He averaged nearly 20 tackles a game as a two time All-American linebacker and made the All-Southwest Conference team three times. Nobis also played on both defense and offense for his entire college career, playing guard on the offensive side of the ball.

8. Roger Staubach – Navy
As a junior in 1963, he won the Heisman Trophy and the Maxwell Award, while leading the Midshipmen to a 9-1 record and No. 2 final ranking. In his three seasons at Navy, he completed 292 of 463 passes, with only 19 interceptions, and gained a school record 4,253 yards of total offense. (more…)

I grew up with Bo Jackson and Joe Montana in my backfield. Granted, I have been a Bronco fan my entire life, but before I remember watching football games on TV, I remember running over the top of everybody in Tecmo Bowl because I knew Bo.

Unfortanely for everbody, Bo broke his hip and Joe was long out of the league before any realistic, current generation football game came onto the market. This all changes at the end of this summer.
